Dan: thanks for your help.
The nightlies after 12-31 fixed this, with one
minor remaining issue for me, cosmetic at this point.
The summary above the (accurate) listing is
inaccurate. When trying to locate one song, it's
listed correctly when locating by artist:
1 album with 1 song by 1

I just upgraded to 6.2.1 to test this for you and I don't see that

about that I could adjust..

I think this might be a instance of the general problem where you can
press 'play' on an album and you get all the tracks from albums with
similar names also getting played. I get this problem with 'greatest
hits'
That's not a bug I believe, you're supposed to put the shared album name
in the 'common album titles' preference.
But can one put 'No Album' in this list?
If so I guess that solves the problem. I will try that tonight.
I would suggest that should be done by default though...

No it isdefinitely aproblem, Aaron's
explanation a few messages earlier describedit
correctly.
(Talking specifically about the 'no album' case here. If I
have albums with shared names I rename them to be unique)
I've just noticed as well, that on the small library I have

Sadly not, I tried that a day or two ago, with no luck.

Please vote for this bug (2623).
This will further emphasize it for SlimServer
developers.
Things worked fine for me with 6.1.1, hopefully
it's not a major fix to get it working again.
Thanks.

I only have a few tracks/albums that really have no titles and that's
usually stuff by Aphex Twin or whatever name you're used to calling
him. But if you look around any music store rather than list it as
nothing they refer to it as (Untitled) which I do too.
Sigur Ros is the ultimate tagging
I think you're relying on a software solution too much, when it's pretty
easy to fix. The catergory No Album or No Artist is a bit of a
get-out only to be used when you want to see what you've screwed up or
what Slim didn't understand.
What I do with all my files is the following:

Hmm. With all due respect, I don't agree
Your metadata is inaccurate, but yes there is an underlying problem with
SlimServer which is why it doesn't work.
But IMHO it makes far more sense to have ZZUnknown Artist than
the artist field blank. Both are crappy, but at least I can jump to my
unknown artist quickly, and my WinAmp
Aaron:
I have the exact same problem as you. I went with
this suggestion:
Try the following
Server Settings:Behaviour:Common Album Titles
Check the box.
Add the appropriate name(s) in.
You may think that this doesn't help. You may need
to tag all you mp3s with noalbumdata then add
that to
16 matches
