Probably again, but I think I've found some quirks that aren't covered (probably).
I have a rip of a set of classical CDs, with multiple artists, often multiple artists per track. Each CD has it's own folder. I want to be able to access the set via one icon in the audio view, and create multiple playlists from that list. The list will be sorted by CD number and track, which works fine.
I also made sure that each track has it's correct number of artists, each separated by a semi-colon.
Importing all the folders has a few issues:
1. Where a folder has the same artist (orchestra, plus conductor), it appears as a seperate album. Fair enough.
2. Within a folder, it picked out the first artist on the list and decided that that was the single artist, and seperated those tracks out as a single artist album.
Sometimes I wish the auto-album feature could be switched off a per-folder basis; or have a feature that allows me to select from a set of tracks and tell MC that that set is an album, or that group of albums is part of a set.
Underlying this is, I suspect, a meta-problem where tags are limited in their power to keep track of multi-CD sets with multiple artists per track and per CD. This sounds like a corner case to me
Would be nice to fix with the fantastic database that MC has.
I "fixed" my problem by created another folder, and linking back to all MP3s in the set from that folder, and letting the MC ordering algorithms do their magic.
