Hello, I recently upgraded to SlimServer 6.5, and ran into the problem posted by the original poster - all of my compilation albums show up fragmented when I browse by albums - i.e. one album per artist. I browsed around the forums quite a bit and realized that this seems to be a somewhat controversial issue, but I am still left with no real idea of how to fix this in my case.
My specifics are as follows: - All of my music is from the iTunes library, which uses an Artist/Album/Song directory structure. - I tried toggling the "Group compilation albums together" flag and rescanning, but that did not work. Is it supposed to work in this case? (I seem to recall reading a thread about this working only if the scan order happened to process the tracks of the album contiguously.) - I tried upgrading to 6.5.1 (from 6.5.0), but that didn't help either. - SlimDevices support claims that unless I put all of the music from an album into one directory, there is no way I can get them to cluster into a single album on Browse by Album. Does this mean that I am out of luck with this issue if I use an iTunes based music library? (Seems kind of strange that the default directory structure used by something as ubiquitous as iTunes would map to an undesirable behavior in SlimServer - especially since older versions of SS seemed to handle it better.) I haven't tried any of the fancier solutions involving editing mp3 tags yet, but I would like to know if there was some way to get this to work without having to mess around with those each time after I have ripped a CD into iTunes. If all else fails, is there a way to easily go to an older version of SlimServer? My concern here is that my past upgrades have always resulted in a corresponding firmware upgrade on the Squeezebox, and I am not sure how going backwards on the server version will affect the Squeezebox. Thanks in advance for any help... - Narendran -- naren ------------------------------------------------------------------------ naren's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9740 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31716 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
