4. Changed: Tuned album analyzer so that instead of having to be a complete album to be a mix, files will just have to be the only album in the directory.
Is there a way that I can disable this feature completely? I never want MC to decide that my albums are mixes, as I always figure out what artist recorded the song and label it that way. Unfortunately, it seems that the album analyzer sometimes decides that my album is a mix when it is not, which is irritating when I am burning MP3 CDs.
If there is no way to disable it, how do I override what it decides? I have been searching for this on-and-off for a few months and haven't found an easy way yet.
Thanks again for all the great work!
Please start a thread and describe a scenario where it's wrong. We don't think it should give false positives anymore.
I don't know that I would call it a false positive, but for an example ...
I have radiohead's new album "Hail to the Thief" burned onto an MP3 CD I made with MC. Unfortunately, that album got filed under "Assorted" in the CD folder structure because one of the songs had "Radiohead" instead of "radiohead" in the artist name field (which happens more than I would like to admit). Since the MC view system is smart enough to group them all together, I honestly don't notice the capitalization. Unfortunately, just de-capitalizing the regular "Artist" field doesn't seem to update the Album-Artist field (or at least it didn't when I was fighting with MC to make that MP3 CD ... this could possibly be fixed now). I had to manually go into the ArtistAlbum (Auto) field and fix it.
Either way ... I can appreciate why some people would like this feature, but I just don't organize my music that way. I never look at a list of all my music sorted by album, it is always Artist/Album or Genre/Artist/Album. For Mix CD's I want to see the song filed in with the artist that recorded it, not mixed up all together. But when I burn an MP3 CD with two songs off of the same mix CD (Pearl Jam's songs from the Singles soundtrack for example) I want them filed under Pearl Jam not Assorted, even though the CD is a mix.
Fixing the capitalization manually is possible, but annoying. I'm not even sure fixing the other issue is possible. I would rather just have the option to never see "Assorted". I suppose this is because I also don't use CD's at all anymore (except MP3 CDs that is), and haven't for about 4 years, so I am used to it that way now.
