[slim] Group Discs and ALBUM with (disc n)

I am struggling to get Squeezecenter to recognise my multi-disc albums. After selecting the option in Squeezecenter and seeing no change in the way the discs were being handled I did a lot of searching on the forums and the wiki and started to find useful information. This stuff should be much e

Re: [slim] Group Discs and ALBUM with (disc n)

Squeezecenter can only group multi-disc albums together if they share the same album name. How should SC otherwise know if two discs with different name belong to the same album? You only need to change your tags to the same name, you can still have the "disc x" part in the filename if you like.

Re: [slim] Group Discs and ALBUM with (disc n)

OK, thanks, I feared as much :( Squeezecenter is just one of the pieces of software which accesses my music so altering ALBUM tags to suit it is not an option. Perhaps there could be some extra logic in the GROUP DISC procedure that knows to look for ALBUM tags with (disc ...) appended and to th

Sure, it's a good point, but the Squeeze wiki regularly refers to using Musicbrainz for good tagging, and yet ironically Squeezecenter doesn't recognise the (disc n) format recommended by Musicbrainz... I'll have a look at submitting an enhancement request. Cheers, Mark -- Mark_H ---

Re: [slim] Group Discs and ALBUM with (disc n)

I used to follow Musicbrainz guidelines 100%, and hit this same problem, I had my multi-disc tagged with the (disc X), but Squeezecenter identified them as different albums, so I struggled some time, because I really wanted to treat them as the same album. In the end I realized it didn\'t matter
