JRiver Media Center Renumbering Tracks in an Album
JRod:
Sorry for all of the posts but I wish I could see your post while composing mine. I'm accessing the Minimserver directly from JRiver so I'm not copying anything anywhere. That's the way JRiver sees MinimServer and I just have it connect. My tagging program is Yate. it's a reputable tagging program and always does what I want it to do with no issues. All of the tags look correct in Yate. Actually, if you look at the screen shot of the file names the disk and track number are embedded there as well. The tags also look correct from the Audio Station on the Synology NAS. Like I said, JRiver is doing this to other multi-disk albums elsewhere in my collection. I don't know if JRiver folks can fix this or if they even want to. I don't know but I was looking for perhaps a simple adjustment somewhere in the JRiver configurations that would stop this behavior. Why does executing "Update library from tags" temporarily fix the problem? if the tags were screwed up, it wouldn't. Unfortunately, restarting the program brings the problem right back.

Ok I see some screenshots have been changed now. And not as many as there were before. I see what you're talking about with the track numbers in one of the screenshots there now. The tracks show as sequentially numbered, not starting over at #1 at disc 2.
You say you confirmed the tags, but I don't know where or how. Since you haven't shown me any info from the tag dump window in MC (did you check that like I said before?) there's not much more I can say; they're probably right because the update works. So something might be going wrong with the import process you're using. And that import process definitely prevents MC from fixing any problems in the files. The best way to access your music from another device isn't necessarily the best way to access them from MC. I wasn't telling you not to keep the files on your Synology, or not to use its web server for other apps. I was talking about the best way to give JRiver access to those files, so that you'll get better results.
The problem comes back when you restart because of the way you have imported your files. You'll never be able to use MC to change your tags or fix other issues, they way you are importing. But I understand you don't want to hear that.
Also I don't have any control over the "JRiver remote app" (whatever you're referring to) since I'm a user just like you. I'm just trying to help you.
But I can see you're not interested in what I'm telling you about how you've inserted the tracks into the JRiver library, so I'm not going to argue with you. I'll say goodbye and bow out, and perhaps someone else will help you. Good luck.
JRod:
OK, I see I offended you and I'm sorry for that. I do appreciate you taking the time to help me. there may be a communication problem causing a bit of frustration on my part. part of the problem is that you're talking over my head without you realizing that. I'm sure you know a lot more about how JRiver works than I do. You keep saying importing and I don't completely understand what is getting imported. I have simply instructed JRiver to read my library. if something is indeed getting imported anyway then I claim ignorance. Also, I don't write any tags from JRiver either. the files are what they are and already properly tagged (from what I can see). I looked at the screen dump and it looks OK from my novice point of view. it shows the correct disk and track numbers for the file being viewed. its track 1/14 from disk 2. I'm including 2 files of the tag dump as the tag dump window is small and I don't know how to make it bigger or if it can be.
JimH:
The wiki has information on Importing.
JRod:
OK, investigating further I've realized this is probably a MinimServer thing where it just numbers the files sequentially regardless of disk number. I did happen to observe the same behavior with Foobar2000 as well. When I executed the "Update library from tags" the files looked right again (or the way I want them to look). Once JRiver is closed and reopened, the tracks are back to just being sequentially numbered disregarding the disk number again. is there any way to set JRiver to always arrange the files following the tag information automatically when opened? Or, can this be a possible feature request?
