Scrambled tracks

(1/3) > >>

Cruce:
I'm an old codger newbie, so the answer to my question may be absurdly simple but.....I'm ripping a two disc album, then combining the two MC folders into one.  I follow (I think) the procedures outlined in previous forum responses:  Merge the two folders in Finder.  Change track listings so the tracks from both cds are in sequence.  Import the new file (I've been using the "Import Single Folder" option.)  Then make sure the album tags are named the same.  Everything works fine, except the tracks are scrambled on the MC folders.  When I "locate" the files from MC, the tracks are correct in Finder.  I'm assuming that there's an issue with the file designation, but I can't find it.

I'm not totally following you, but see a few responses below.

When you rip the CDs just put them in the same folder.  This isn't even strictly necessary; it's just for good on-disk organization.  MC doesn't care.

As long as your ripping software numbers the tracks in each CD like 1, 2, 3, etc, you should be fine.  Then, either in your ripping software OR in MC, change the Disc # field for each CD.  The first CD gets a disc # of 1.  The second CD gets Disc # = 2, etc.

This is the most important part:  Making the album name the same groups them as one album inside MC.

I know you're seeing something out of order, but I can't tell what.  How about a screen shot?

Cruce:
Thanks.  This should work.

Cruce:
Thanks.  This has been really helpful.  Now the tracks of each CD are listed correctly. But playback (and I've done this with several sets of 2-CD works) now begins with disc 2, although I've entered the disc number correctly in the tag CD# field.

blgentry:
How are you starting playback?  Double clicking on track #1, disc #1 should start playback there and continue as normal.
