I've experienced a similar issue: There are some (very rare) cases where I have two different versions of the same album. For example, I recently bought Pink Floyd's Discovery Box containing all their studio albums, of which I had already a few when they appeared originally.
The different versions of the albums are ripped as flac files and all files in the two versions have exactly the same album and artist tags (double-checked with mp3tag) but are stored in different folders. SBS (I'm still on V7.6.1) is merging the tracks from the different album versions into a single album now. The problem appeared a few days ago when I did the first full rescan since quite a long time. Before, I was performing scans for changes only and SBS perfectly displayed the two different versions as different albums. I just verified this behavior in a small test environment and found it reproducible. Now I don't know, which of the scans is buggy: the full or the changed (of course I prefer the results of the scan for changes). When I look to the albums table with an sqlite viewer, I see that the title, titlesort and titlesearch fields have the same values in both scenarios. Of course there's no folder information in the albums table, so it looks that the scan for changes adds a new album row due to different cover files in the two folders or due to differences in the replay gain fields. It looks like there's no other solution than modifying the album title of one of the two album versions - as Ron proposed and how he had done it in the first place. ;-) Personally, I don't like that too much because it mixes the information about the music with organizational stuff. Especially I thought that plugins like Erland's SongInfo might fail if there's something added to the album title, but a short test returned matching information. So I think I will do it... -- reinholdk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ reinholdk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36070 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94154 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
