Is it? You are using FLAC, correct? 'TRACKNUMBER' usually doesn't include the "/x" part. cf http://reactor-core.org/ogg-tagging.html and http://www.xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html. I don't have the problem you have, but, then, I also don't have "/x" stuff in my flac tags. > > Yes slimserver has a problem but i agree its not a total disaster > becuase you delete the disc number and renumber the tracks.

In view of that > slimserver support of multi disc should be looked at. Slimserver has a limit of 99 tracks? From my look at the schema it is a tad higher than that: 9,999,999,999 tracks per album. (ie, int(10) in SQLese). For obvious reasons, I doubt that has been tested, but no real reason it shouldn't work. I am not sure that Slimserver has a problem in this case, other than "it doesnt support arbitrary changes to the meaning and interpretation of tags". I have plenty of multi-cd sets that work Just Fine. Some are tagged with DISCNUMBER or TPOS, some are not (in cases where seperating by disc appeals to me: The Wall, for instance, I see as two acts, and I like the seperation where it is on the LP and CD releases, so I tag it as two distinct albums). Computers behave in a predictable manner as long as the hardware isnt generating random bits. There isn't a reason for the Operating System to be messing with thing in this case (sometimes code-beyond-your-reach is the problem and OS bugs or 'features' can interfere...).... In short, Slimserver is behaving in a consistent and predictable manner with these files of yours. So the question is, "why does it think this is the correct thing to do?" I pointed out the two major defintions of Vorbis comments above (since they are freeform, that is about as close to a 'standard' as it gets). Neither makes mention of the trackcount being part of the TRACKNUMBER comment. Try it without that. If it works, then that is your problem. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33436 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
