Hey guys, I am brand new to using this media player but I have been having a great time working with it.

One issue I haven't been able to figure out, is how do you name the file names of a multi CD album so both CD's show up?
Right now I have a few CDs tht are multiple folder marked artist album -CD1, artist album CD2 etc.
When they filea re imported it shows as one album.
I am going to keep working at it but I am hoping and know it is somethign ratehr simple.

Thx

Change the Album tags on the tracks so that they are different, eg. from:

Album

to

Album Disk 1
Album Disk 2

Or use the Disc # Field

The disk number field didn't work. I figured out to just rename the albums last night as was suggested. I appreciate the suggestions.

what do you mean the disk number field didn't work?

i guess i really don't even understand the issue you are having...

why would an album that has more than 1 disk be ignored by your library?

What I mean is, I tried entering the disk number on the tag but for some reason it would not show both cds's when in 3d album view etc. In the other veiw it showed them as one large album.
I just wanted the 3D album veiw to show more then one album if it was a multi disk set.
In the album name, I just put the name and then a 1,2..etc.
I have it working as I want it now.
Hope this makes sense.

To clarify, if the Album name is the same, the discs will be treated as a single physical disc, distinguished by Disk #.

When the Album tags are different for each disc in the multi-disc set, the albums are presented separately.
