How can I get 2 albums to come up on the same playlist, instead of having 2

I can't figure out what you are asking. Maybe posting a screen shot would make your question more clear?

When I rip a 2 CD set via dBpoweramp and than import it to JRiver it comes up as 2. I would love to have both CDs come up in one spot. Can this be done in JRiver ?

Just set the 'Album Artist' field to the same value for both discs.

How do I do that in JRiver?

Select the files you want and edit the tag.

I can't get it to work.

Highlight the files in the album. Now select Edit > Tag . You'll see the Tagging Window pop up on the left. You may need to use it's drop down menu to display more (or all) fields. Go find [Album Artist]. You can edit it directly in the box in the Tagging Window.

Depending on how the CD was ripped, you might need to set values for [Disc #] also.

what seperates your discs is that they basically have 2 different titles.

first make sure in tags you set disc numbers correctly in the "disc #" tag field

then make the album title the same for both discs (remove disc 1 and disc 2 from the album name)

the suggestion setting "album artist" to for example "various" is also recommended to keep your list of artist clean

EJR: Good catch! I hadn't noticed that there were different album titles in the screen shots. You are definitely correct in your recommendation.

After a bit of work, I did this with the CDs. http://s11.postimg.org/3mz2cp91v/Capture66666666666.png

Getting these 2 CDs as one was A LOT easier. Compilations CDs are a PAIN. Thank you all for getting me on track

It might be easier if you used Media Center to rip.

Congratulations on your progress so far.

Eh, not really, once you understand what to do. It's really just a matter of a few things:

1. Fill out Album Artist for compilations.
2. Make sure each CD in a multi-disc set has [Disc #] set correctly. You can do this at rip time with your ripping program.
3. Set the Album name to be the same for all discs in a multi-disc set.

That's pretty much it. It becomes very routine after a while. Welcome to Media Center tagging.

Never thought of that....COOL

I have tried the JRiver ripper and it was OK. I find dBpoweramp to be very accurate at it's job.

JimH · « **Reply #20 on:** February 16, 2016, 06:36:47 pm »

You can't get more accurate than perfect. If you use the Secure Rip setting in MC you can't get a more reliable rip.

Can you rip CDs in FLAC lossless uncompressed in JRiver ? I have yet to use this ID Tagger that I have https://www.dbpoweramp.com/perfecttunes.htm
