Another test. I changed all songs on one of the Reader's Digest compilation albums to "Easy Listening" (I have two albums in this genre already), did a complete scan and all songs from the RD albums now shows up. So this led to another test. I changed the genre for two albums to "Digest", scanne

The issue I'm having is not with ReplayGain. It was brought up as someone noticed it was a little off. Which may have been me scanning the songs incorrectly. My issue was and still is with songs not showing in certain genres. Doing some testing it might be a bug in the system. LMS doesn't seem t

Well, I re-ran the ReplayGain and now it shows -3.06 for the album and -3.14 for the same song as above. I also upgraded to the latest LMS and did a "clear library and rescan" (for the umpthenth time today) and all of a sudden all the songs are now listed in the Oldies genre. I'm thinking it's

I downloaded mpstag and took a look at the files in question. It's puzzling. All of them show the correct genre in mp3tag (as well as in Foobar & Windows). Extended tags showed the genre as well. In LMS it's different. Some albums show up under their the genre/s. Others don't. Seems the ones not

The other day I was looking at what music I have in different genres. While filtering I noticed some of the music digitized from LP (vinyl) or cassette tapes didn't show up. These albums or tapes all have been tagged with the appropriate genre, but they aren't listed under the genre in LMS. The

I'm running LMS, presently version 8.0, on a dedicated computer with Windows Server 2003 as the OS. In the 10+ years it's been running it's been extremely stable (knock on wood), but then again, the only thing installed is LMS. This OS is starting to get old and I'm wondering if I should migrate
