Why are there double albums after updating to MC16?
« on: April 11, 2011, 02:33:40 pm »

Why are there double albums after updating to MC16?
In one album are for example song no: 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9
In the other album there is song no: 7
I have noticed that sometimes the year is different. For example album one is year 1978 and album two is unknown year.
Well, after changing the year so it is the same I was thinking I can move song no: 7 togethere with the rest of songs again. BUT I can´t find out how to do? Anyone who know how to do?

Display the [Album Artist] and [Album Artist (auto)] fields in your view (right-click on the details view header). These wiki topics describe how MC uses these fields to determine how to group tracks as albums:
Album Artist and Album Artist (Auto)
Multiple Artist Albums

Your problem is most likely caused by different values being imported to [Album Artist] from the file tags. If so, just delete them.

Hi Rick and thanks!
Just delete them? You mean the values I hope and not the files? So you mean if the taginfo is the same in both albums they will merge together to one?

Please read the wiki topics. It's not the easiest thing to grasp, but if you don't at least understand what it's doing, you'll continue to have problems.

The files need to be in the same folder to be recognized as an album. If they're not, move them with MC—do not delete them.

It probably just needed a Refresh (F5, or with a button placed on the toolbar).
