Well tags like 'mood' or 'ranking by last.fm' etc. enhance my music experience as they are excellent for making playlists. 'Lyrics' embedded is also quite beautiful. But well everybody to his or her liking.

This took approximately 33 minutes. > This is an i7 windows machine and files are on an eSata drive (not SSD) > attached to the windows machine. Well it took hours but I did it. Okay what I did - with excellent help from the people at this forum - was that I removed all ID 3.1 tags after I wrote all information whatsoever into the ID 3.2 tags. I did this in mp3tag and had my collection filtered by file type. In addition I had removed all those double year/date tags which my files had. I think they were created automatically by MediaMonkey - there is a thread in this forum on this issue. I might have also removed the double Album artist - I had Album Artist and Albumartist - but I can't find any files to confirm this in one way or another. Mp3tag has a command 'remove double tags'. I destroyed some compilations by removing the compilation tag and the various artist tag. This was primarily with incomplete compilations from which I had only part of the songs. Obviously LMS also cares for the file path when compiling, so I had to separate folders or bring files together according to whether I wanted them 'compiled' or not. For this I used MusicBee and its excellent function 'Move files to organised folder'. I have some files where I accidentally deleted the tags before rewriting them and the information has to be restored from backup. Well. I think that LMS has not rescanned my collection properly although trying to force it to do so. Obviously you have to trigger the command more often. Maybe its cause I'm on 7.9.1 by Pinkdot. I have all my playlists in my music folder (in an extra folder) and do not have any problems with it.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Compilation Album grouping problem
I usually find mp3tag to be pretty fast, but then again I'm rarely loading up more than a few albums at a time for editing. I was curious, so I just loaded up my compete collection on mp3tag (about 96,000 tracks, FLAC, some mp3, some m4a). This took approximately 33 minutes. This is an i7 windows machine and files are on an eSata drive (not SSD) attached to the windows machine. I can't speak to OGG files, as I don't have any. With regard to compilations in general, I just looked and I have 445 compilation CDs.

You might consider converting the .ogg files to a different format and see if that helps with your problem. You do use way more tag fields than I do.

I don't have any OGG files, but as far as I know that doesn't change anything. I think if the album name is exactly the same, the ALBUM ARTIST is either blank or exactly the same, and the Compilation tag is set to 1, the entire album should show as a single compilation album, even if tracks in different directories. But I'm not 100% sure as I don't have any albums that are spread across directories. But you can test this. As dasmueller notes, you should do a "clear and rescan" in LMS after you change the tags so that LMS picks up all these changes. "Check for new and changed" doesn't always pick up tag changes. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.9 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.9 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Transporter, Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win8(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107341 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Thanks It is a standard tag: COMPILATION (as noted above it is not mandatory.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Compilation Album grouping problem
I use "Various" in the "Album Artist" tag, do not use the Compilation tag. The "Album Title" is the same and I use the My Music settings in this screen snip. My Compilation albums sort together just fine.22625 +---+ |Filename: Comp.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22625| +---+ Main system - Rock Solid with LMS 7.9 on WHS 2011 - 2 Duets and Squeeseslave Portable system - Rock solid with LMS 7.9 on Win10 Pro - 1 Duet and Squeezeslave w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107341 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

you should set the compilation tag to a value of 1 on these albums. *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.9 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.9 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Transporter, Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win8(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107341 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Compilation Album grouping problem
How do you name the compilation albums ? I have several albums that have the Artist tag as various and have no problem w them. I also have a folder called Z-Oldies where I have numerous compilations. There the "Artist" is Oldies, the Albums Oldies1,2 etc. In that case I have the performers name in the Title field. dasmueller's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38035 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107341 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
