Hi, I have a similar issue, I've just updated from LMS 7.9 to 8.2 due to a hard drive failure on my QNAP (I'm using QLogitechMediaServer). Before this my albums were fine and presented as a single album, since the upgrade they are now split out as multiple albums of the same name. I have

I see that after every rescan the number of albums changes but in rather dubious way. The increase or sometimes decrease in number of albums does not correlate to the added number of albums at all. I do not think that we should trust this number of albums, provided as an info by LMS. (8.1.0)

There's an LMS setting which determines if multi-disc sets are treated as a single disc or as multiple discs - how is that set on your LMS? What you're seeing is what I'd expect if this was set to display as multiple discs. Robert *Home: *Raspberry Pi 4/pCP7.0/LMS8.0.1/Material with files

First, thanks to each of you who responded to my original post about this topic. slartibartfast's comment about Disc number seemed to me correct (why, after all, have such a tag if not for this reason) so I re-tagged files so that CDs are indicated with a Disc number. On rescan many of them now

Michael, Thanks! That may be it. I'm working to get tracks in single folders rather than in nested subfolders. I think this may be why my opera albums of Wagner's four Ring operas end up as they do. Guy On Thu, Mar 4, 2021, 11:05 PM Michael Herger wrote: > > A question if I may ... if tracks

Have you tried using mp3tag's View -> Extended Tags option? This was a revelation to me when I discovered it a few years ago. There can be so much unwanted junk tagged away which you never see in the main interface - these days I happily blow away all the tags I don't want. You may well have

So that is one album of 40 tracks but each has a different cover image? I suspect LMS thinks that because they have different covers they are different albums. No, the album grouping doesn't take cover into account. Covers are evaluated long after the album grouping. Check tags, in particular
