can't offer a solution as such ... yeah it's probably to do with tags, or characters or spaces, or the Slim database schema or something, but i can't really speak to that.
just wanted to restate what adam has said, and urge you to think outside the CD box. the fact a piece of music was spread across 2 (or 3) CDs is just a legacy implementation and distribution detail, a vestigial tail from bygone times. just as we moved from flipping vinyl-sides to CDs, we can now move from multiple CDs to seamless media storage. what is more important or relevant to your enjoyment of a piece, treating it as a whole, or remembering how many shiny-metal pieces of plastic it got shipped to you on. i also use and reccomend Mp3Tag(http://www.mp3tag.de/en/) and once you take a few minutes to figure out all it's features, it is a big help. (all sorts of useful options for tag-wrangling, conversion, stripping, renaming) if i have something unnecessarily spread over multiple CDs, with a few quick keystrokes i will rename it as one album, auto-renumber the tracks, rename the files, and move them all into one folder ... just like that, very civilized. i'll also go the other way if i think it's right - Du Pre on one CD playing Elgar cello concerto, and then Bach cello suites 1&2, they can easily stand up for themselves, split-out as two seperate albums and renumbered, renamed as such. like i say, just 'cos they arrived on one disc, doesn't mean they have to stay stuck together forever ... it's a whole new media-server streaming age, you should definitely think about some of the new opportunities and set-up your music exactly how you would prefer and what makes most sense or is more sympathetic to the intent of the music. david -- davidC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ davidC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3861 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33436 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
