BINGO! I have systematically taken all files in subfolders of an album and uniquely renamed them and moved them so that they are in a single folder named with the album name. For example: Album: Wagner - RotN - Bayreuth - 1970 - Stein First two tracks (of 149 <-- lots of renaming!!): "Wagner - RotN - 01 - Rheingold - 01. Vorpsiel.flac" "Wagner - RotN - 01 - Rheingold - 02. Weia! Waga! Woge, du Welle.flac" On a Library rescan, these 149 tracks now show as a single Album item and not as previously, as a set of 12 items all with the same album name, the 149 tracks in them. What this actually is: a zip of Richard Wagner's Ring of the Nibelungen, which comprises 12 CDs. The ripping software rips each CD to a folder, with tracks in it. The LMS scanning software treats each folder as an individual album item even though the Album of each track is the same across all 12 CDs. I've done the same with another five albums (one of another Ring recording and several other Wagner operas) and on recan all now show as I expect them -- as a single Album. So, a bit of renaming work to get things as I want, but I understand now how the LMS scanning works now and I know what to do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gstalnaker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63504 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114080 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
