Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] "New Music" that isn't.
A freeware tool called "BulkFilechanger" is a very handy addition to a taggers library of software http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/bulk_file_changer.html After you have done some tag editing you can use it to re-stamp your files with say a 5 second increase on the original time stamp. This causes LMS to see it as a more recent file than the original and thus re-scan it into the library but not to throw it into New Music.

I hoped you just know the answer without having to test it... Thank you very much! So it's the combination of a new filename with a new timestamp that moves the whole disc up in time. (Because "timestamp" was thrown around I'll assume that just renaming the file (and a rescan) wouldn't move it up in the list.) Interesting, not what I expected.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] "New Music" that isn't.
I recently changed the option in mp3tag so that the date stamp is not changed when I update tags so that these albums did not show up in New Music. However, you need to make sure that when backing up files you use software that will detect changes in the tags and not just look for changed date stamps. Otherwise you could find that if you had to restore from a backup all updated tags are lost.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] "New Music" that isn't.
Perhaps I was expecting too much for one tag editor to do it all. So maybe I'll take you up on that, once I can find the link again. id3tag seems to hoover up my mp3tag searches. Generally most of my tagging is fine but I have issues with compilations and having downloaded 7.9.0 (which I like) thought it was about time to get it sorted. It's a bit of a project though. LMS doesn't think I have any compilations. I have about 100. I suspect the ripper I was using set comp=0 by hidden default. Swapped now to dbpoweramp so that should be OK going forward. Most of my old rips lack track artist data too so the plan is to use something like Picard to find it for me. I've read elsewhere that it can do this.

Thanks all, that explains it perfectly well. I'm using Perfect Tunes. A quick hunt suggests it has no option for preserving date stamps. I did have a look at mp3tag but couldn't get the hang of it.

You don't say which tag editor you use, but in mp3tag there's an option to preserve the file modification time, look for similar in your tag editor.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] "New Music" that isn't.
Most tag editors like mp3tag has an option to preserve time stamps otherwise the files change date is altered , it changes when you edit the tags . Thats how its happens . LMS new list is built solely from the timestms in the files , LMS has no real log over when you actually got your files . There is a long standing bug report/enhancement request to have the option to use creation date instead of change date. But at the moment change date is it . Howre there migth be utilities to alter change date on files . You probably need a rescan afterwards .
