Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Clear Library and REscan Everything
I guess I'll give a shout-out to MP3tag here. Although it has MP3 in the title of the software, it will tag just about anything, and that includes Flac. Of course, I suppose you need to locate your missing files first. But once you do, I have used this to find many tagging errors, and they are quickly and easily fixed. Something as simple as an incorrect track number can scramble your compilations. Good luck. -- starfury starfury's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37465 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85685 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Clear Library and REscan Everything
I think what was not made clear enough is: Album tag ONLY must be identical, order names may vary. -- michel michel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4393 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85685 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

To Squeezebox Server Best of 70's CD 1 and Best of 70's CD 2 are as different as Best of 70's CD 1 and Abbey Road What I do with multi-disc sets is place the two CDs into subfolders under a folder with the album name: /Various Artists ../Best of 70's ../../Disc 1 ../../Disc 2 Am I correct in understanding that once I remove the CD 1 CD 2 from a 2 disc set CD and do a clear library and recan everything, I would get: /Various Artists ../Best of 70's ../../Disc 1 ../../Disc 2 Rgds -- souwalker souwalker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37673 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85685 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Are you asking if your files will be rearranged in your file system just by changing the ALBUM tag? No. -- JJZolx JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85685 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Clear Library and REscan Everything
One thing to know: To get multi-disc compilation albums to group together (assuming you're using the Group Discs setting of 'Group multi-disc sets as a single album') you _must_ add a COMPILATION=1 tag. It's a bug in the server, although it may not be related to your problem. For simplicity I just add a COMPILATION=1 tag to all compilations, regardless of the number of discs. I'm betting the albums are there, but you just can't find them. Try doing searches for the album titles. Are you setting ALBUMARTIST to 'Various Artists'? If so, and there's no COMPILATION=1 field, the album will be classified as a non-compilation and will be found under an artist called 'Various Artists', sorted under 'V'. This isn't quite the same as the 'Various Artists' pseudo-artist that you find at the beginning of your artist list. Generally speaking, you shouldn't set an ALBUMARTIST on compilation albums. To summarize: Add a COMPILATION=1 tag to all compilation albums and do not include an ALBUMARTIST tag. -- JJZolx JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85685 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I am still new to all of this and I am struggling to understand the tags. I rip using dbpowerAmp and with compilations (2 Disc sets), I type in the 'Artist' field the text 'Various Artists'. In the 'Album' field, I type in the album name, for example 'Best of 70's CD 1' for the first disc, and then when I rip the second CD, in the Album field, I type in 'Best of 70's CD 2'. In the Artist field on the right side, I type in Various Artists as well. By doing this, all of my compilations will be auto saved in a Various Artists folder in my NAS, so in my Various Artists folder, all my compilation CDs are in there. Funny this only happens to 2 of my compilations. I've got a few more, some with 3 CD sets and I have no issues. I do not touch any of the tags details in SB Server software.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Clear Library and REscan Everything
I'm not familiar with dbpa, or what software you're using to make tagging changes after you've ripped an album. But the very first requirement for a multi-disc album to appear as one album is that the ALBUM name for each track must be identical. So something where you have '... CD 1' and '... CD 2' as the album name will never look like the same album to Squeezebox Server. Start by fixing that, do a full clear rescan and see where you are. -- JJZolx JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85685 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I can use dba to change the ID tags. So, if I go through all my compilations with 2 disk sets, I should change those CDs by removing CD 1 and CD 2. By doing this how would those CDs be displayed in SBS? What do you mean by 'will never look the same'? Will the 2 CDs, after I remove CD 1 CD 2, will simply put all files into the one album name folder?

[SlimDevices: Touch] Clear Library and REscan Everything
Hi I have ripped 400+ out of my 800+ CD collection. All are ripped via dbPoweramp and stored on my QNAP NAS. SB Server Software is installed in the NAS. I've noticed today that 2 of my Various Artist CDs are not appearing on the db. I've clear and rescan at least twice and still no show. I've checked the ID tag and I can confirm all are tagged as 'Various Artists'. The missing 2 CDs are from 2 different CDs with Disc 1 2. I am tearing my hair out trying to sort this out. I have no issues with single CDs. Any clues?
