The great thing about Media Center and the
Expression Language is that you can get it to do the work for you.
Of course, the simplest solution is to just rename the album, especially if you only have one or two to deal with.
Instead of doing that, you could add a custom group type which would separate the albums automatically.
- Tools → Options → Library & Folders → Manage Library Fields
- Add New Field
- Calculated Data → Expression → Expression Editor:
<font size="10" alpha="0" color="ffffff">[Year] [Channels] [Sample Rate,0] [Bit Depth,0] <//font>Delimit([Year],/]/ ,/[)[Album]If(IsEqual([File Type,0], sacd, 1),/ SACD,
If(Compare([Sample Rate,0], >, 44100),/ HD,
))Delimit(if(isrange([Channels],1-2),,/ ‒/ Multichannel))
Now click the tab at the top of your view and select
Group By → Your Custom Group The nice thing about this is that it will automatically separate albums based on the year tag, the number of channels, sample rate or bit-depth.
It will also append "SACD", "HD", or " – Multichannel" to the album name if appropriate.
