Glad it worked! I personally think it's always a good rule of thumb to
get rid of any tags you're not actually using, just in case!

i have ver 1 tags and ver 2.3 tags.
is the conventional wisdow that you should only have one or the other?
i'vve been thinking about getting rid of ver 1 tags, and converting the
2.3s to 2.4s which i'm told allows one to separate artists into first
and last names.
thoughts?

Sry for the delayed post. I backed up my entire music folder and
performed a mass tag conversion, keeping only the essentials and
getting rid of the rest. The older tag removal options were selected by
default so I didnt change anything there.
After I rescanned my folder within SS all the
Ah, good. Thought it might be the folder thing - even if all your tags
are exactly the same, if the files are in different physical locations
SS doesn't know they're part of the same album, however moving all of
these files into one folder tells SS they are in fact supposed to be
treated as one!
Yup, iTunes can do that if you let it! mp3tag is great - I think you'll
find it speeds things up for you. Always back everything up first
though, if you're planning to do a mass-tagging!
I found all manner of weird tags on some of my CD rips that I wasn't
even aware of. mp3tag will show show
Installed and ran mp3tag last night. Took a couple of test runs and
sneak-peeks at the help files to get used to the interface but i agree:
the tool is awesome.
It has already fixed some of the directories I was having issues with;
not all, though. There are couple of albums (that I am working
One of the things to try is to select all tracks on an album and do
Right Mouse/Extended Tags. Then look at tags marked as keep - these
are the tags that have different values across the selected tracks.
Typically the only ones so marked would be Title and Track, plus
possibly Discnumber (for a
The cache folder you've found is indeed the one. If you've done loads
of small tagging changes SS sometimes misses them, so it's a good habit
to periodically stop SS, delete this folder and then restart - that'll
build it from scratch
There's no work round for rescanning, apart from navigating
Are all of the offending files in one folder?
Impressive: you seem to have all the answers i.e., I just looked and
found the very first file in a seperate folder. Will fix it. I also
noticed that SS was picking up some of the displayed folders files
from the Recycled Bin. This was the cause
I would hazard a guess you've got some errant tags somewhere - if it's
adding (Disc 1) you may well have discnumber tags you don't need.
Best bet is to have a look at www.mp3tag.de/en - that's a great free
tagger if you don't already have it.
Open the offending files in mp3tag, look at their
Thx for your reply. I've never used the tagger you mentioned. Been doing
it manually, for the most part, from within Musicmatch. I will certainly
give it a shot.
I don't use iTunes. I did once but then realized that not only does it

I am using 6.5.4 on Vista. I've noticed (also on earlier versions of SS)
that songs by the same artist in the same album (stored in the same
Artist\Album\ folder on my PC) are displayed separately. SS lists them
in 4 different albums using the very same album name. The display is
the same when I
