Title: Ipod and Double Albums
Post by: Craig on March 17, 2006, 04:46:17 pm

Syncing a double album to my Ipod 5G results in the Ipod playing tracks in the order
disc 1 track 1
disc 2 track 1
disc 1 track 2 etc

By exporting the Itunes.db to xml then updating the disc number in I tunes and exporting and comparing, I can see that the fields CDNUM and TOTALCDS are being set to 0, after updating from ITunes they are set to 1 (or 2) and 2.

The files are tagged correctly in MC although the Disc # field is an integer so cannot hold 1 of 2 or 1/2

Using MC 11.1.147

Further investigation has shown that all is needed to correct this is to set the CDNUM in the Itunes.db to the disc#.

Is there only me that sees this as a problem?

Next build:
NEW: Added read and write support for the disc number field on the iPod.

Let us know how it works.  Thanks.
