Question on Incomplete Albums
Arindelle:
I know this has been talked about before here, but I'm stumped. I have some incomplete albums that are not incomplete ... but they are.
AlbumArtist and Album Artist(auto), Artist, Album are the same for all tracks
All tracks are sequential, most are multiple CDs (for multiple CD albums I rip to ALBUMARTIST\ALBUM\CD1\.... ALBUMARTIST\ALBUM\CD2\ not ALBUMARTIST\Album disk1\... ALBUMARTIST\Album disk2\)
I have even filled in new fields like number of disk number of total tracks etc.
I have one CD of a multiple set wich is marked complete, one is marked incomplete.
I also have a couple of single disk albums that are not complete when they are
Can someone confirm what constitutes an incomplete album? Thanks

They have to be in the same directory as well, by putting different disc numbers in different directories that's probably what's breaking it.

thanks for the quick reply mwillems, but read that one already ;) but they are not just multiple cds for one, there are ALSO single albums that have this problem. And if that were the case why wouldn't all my multiple cds have this issue? .. makes me think there was a change in the past year or so and is affecting only imports after that .. and filepath changes maybe not sure
I have have 3000+ multiple set cds imported that way (which IMO is a hell of a lot more logical .. I have a box set of everything mozart composed -- 170 cds sure its an exception but I have a lot of >5 cds per set ... for classical music this is pretty important actually. OK its only my opinion of course). Only a small percentage is coming up "incomplete": 188 albums out of 7143 .... 6445 tracks are affected out of 102,701.
I admit I don't check this often, but I know there are a lot more than there were. Most of these have been imported in the last 6 months or re-organized on my hard drives during that period.
I suppose it doesn't matter too much as I know these are complete :) but I do have 50 or so albums that are actually missing tracks or are misnumbered so it is sort of nice as an admin tool. These "new fields" that maybe are not so new : complete albums; total tracks; total disks etc; the latter two are basically empty ... I'm wondering if there has been a change that I have not been aware of. Regardless there are albums that are now incomplete that were not a year ago ...
Also this is not only for multiple cds as I said ... one thing I noticed is that I think these cds might have been re-organized after import .. I'll try removing one and see if it sorts itself out.
PS-
Come to think of it why should the pathname have anything to do with it? Its a database.
Total number of CDs ok; total number of tracks ok; sequential numbering ok, same album artist (or not for multiple artist albums) ok; same album name sure I get it logical -- but these total fields are empty other than those I have manually entered to see if I can fix this, so there is no actual counting of tracks going on here. I'm thinking that the wiki logic was maybe based on eventually auto-filling these "total fields" by the criteria in the article? Unless this [Complete Album] field which for some reason I never noticed before is being marked with a "1" on import and is not adjusting afterwards?? This could be complicated for classical buffs that are not as OCD as I am.

I just ran into one exactly as you describe...tagged properly, in a single folder, yet still incomplete. I too was wondering, it's likely I have more but I'm just in the middle of a big re-organize so I'll find them if there are more
The total tracks and total discs DO NOT have to be filled to gain completeness that much I know...

yep, thats why I was wondering if there is some transition thing going on where these fields are going to be used. As I said even if you fill them out it doesn't change the complete status.
In looking briefly again today .... most of the "multiple" cd albums are even more curious than I thought. What it seems to be doing on import is marking the 1st CD as complete and then the subsequent ones as incomplete. I was worrying that this pathname thing might be by design, but if it is marking the first cd as complete there is probably something a bit quirky as ALL the discs should then be marked incomplete. Using the stock smartlist "Audio -- Task -- Incomplete albums" - this is based on [Complete Album] being false.
That field (relatively new?) is non-editable.
for info: Also for Singles (flac singles are purchasable btw) seems like the web standard that I have seen is putting the track number at 99. These are of course are coming up incomplete too. Changing the track to 1, does not seem to change it to complete.
