Oh dear. Is there some reason why you want to reduce your music to such
a terrible format?
Perhaps you should use a decent ripper (EAC, dbPowerAmp etc) and a
decent format (FLAC, lossless ALAC etc).

I've been getting this problem off LOTS of freshly ripped CDs. I am
ripping using MediaMonkey (with AAC plugin) ripping to 128kbps AAC
format.
The albums (single disc albums) are appearing up to three times in the

In the past, it's been differences in tagging, and fixing the tags has

I have the same problem as the OP. Albums that were fine a year ago
have started separating themselves. This all happened when migrating
from SlimServer to SqueezeCenter. I have been slowly trying to put
things back together with mixed success. None of the options within

Unfortunately, after much examination, I found that there was never an
error on my part. Although some albums has a Disc 1 designation, and
some did not.. that did not explain the multiple albums with the same
Disc number designation.

I also do not use WMP but WinAmp. I have tried every solution mentioned
here and still have the problem of albums being split into two, with
the same name, by SqueezeCenter. I Use a separate folder for each
album. I use WinAmp or freedb to get tags and then examine them with
MP3Tag or TagEditor.
your last post sounds like its merely masking the issue, i didn't
understand the post prior to that one.

So if you pop open mysql query browser to check around, a quick query to
check for albums that might have dupes is:

Hi Fred,
Looks like a tagging problem to me.
All the files of a single artist album should (theory/logic) have the
same base (Artist, Album Title) tags set.
In your case, some tracks seem to have the Disc Number tag set, while
others don't.
Some tracks could also have trailing spaces in the
Well, sure enough, delete library and rescan didn't fix it.
I checked all the tags (They are WMA files) and all the artist and
album information are identicle. Additionally, I didn't see any Disc
Number tags. There are no trailing or beginning spaces. All are
capitalized identically. The only
Have you been opening them in Windows Media Player at all and is it set
to automatically update metadata ? I had WMP mess with the tags on just
some of the tracks in some albums just enough to end up with split
albums.

Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well.
Yes, I have been. I am guessing this is the issue- but using mysql query
browser, I'm not seeing any differences between the files - except the
ARTWORK is different. Is it possible for different tracks having
different artwork to cause an album split? It's technically the same
album cover, but

Would be very surprising. I really don't think so.

perhaps it is a combo of tags, locations, and missing tag info. SC

I will look. I originally bought all the albums directly from Yahoo's
music store, so at least at one point, the tags should've been perfect.
But I did look at the files with Windows Media Player, so it's a
possibility they're messed up.
I will look for an advanced tag editor and report back.
