Title: Feature or Help Request: Multiple Albums for a song
Post by: Robert Wibble on April 28, 2004, 12:29:51 am: Hey there,

I'm note sure of the correct wording for this so it may already exist or someone may have asked for it but here goes:

Is it possible to have a single song file that has more than one album tag attached to it. I have recorded all my CD collection onto my PC and like to listen to the recordings in the order they were on CD. This becomes a problem when I record a compilation CD as many of my songs are now doubled up wasting disk space.

I have created playlists for each album in the past but this got very tedious very quickly.

Cheers

Bob

I believe it is on the To Do list but necessarily being worked on now.

I'm not speaking for J River of course, just my guess from what I've read...

You can do some searches on the boards and you should find some threads that discuss this.

That's not the point. I just added my 5th harddrive, a SATA 270 GB, which brought me up to 750 GB. So I'm not hurting for harddrive space. I still agree with Bob that it would be a nice feature.
