Yes, your player has to be capable of using RG tags. LMS and Squeezebox

I have had albums separate in LMS because some tracks had a disk number
and some didn't. Or because some tracks had total tracks filled in and
some didnt. Usually I trace the issue back to me having to rerip some
tracks with dbpa at the time of original ripping and forgetting to

1. In dbpa ripping, I make sure album title is the same for all discs,
and use the disc numbering tag (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). I do not use the
disc total tag (there is a setting in dbpa to not use this).

Car audio systems seem to often be decades behind in technology related

I've had same issues before and really had to scratch my head to
eventually fix. Take another look at mp3tag, extended tag just to
double check. I recall once I had one file that had a "track total"
field and the others didn't. That was enough to make it a separate
album.

In mp3tag, one

album/disk 1/track number - track title
/disk 2/track number - track title
or
2.

For any single tracks I have, I create an album folder, even if such
album has only one track. I use the ALBUM tag as well (which may not
actually be the album the single appeared on, if any, but is simply the

I've seen this very odd type result 2 or 3 times in ripping over 5000

I rip all my CDs and keep them all (digitally and the actual CDs). A
compilation album is an album that I want to be complete even if it

Oddly, Roon will call something like Heavy Cream a compilation. Its
definition of a comp includes a greatest hits approach even if single

Any digital file has a checksum. But not necessarily embedded in the
file to be easily compared to a decoding of the file and the checksum
calculated later upon decoding. Im not an alac expert but
Ive read in many reliable places that it does not embed the CRC
checksum. A pity but as you say,
If one searches the forum youll find many threads and 100s of
