In Real’s RealOne Player I could rip a two disc album as one large CD.
How It Was Done…
* I would rip the first disc normally (removing any reference to Disc 1, if there was one).
* Change the track numbers on disc 2 so they would appear to be a continuation of only one disc.
EXAMPLE:
* Disc 1, tracks 1 – 6… stays tracks 1 - 6.
* Disc 2, tracks 1 – 4… becomes tracks 7 – 10.
So the play list looks like one disc with tracks 1 – 10.
This is wonderful when playing a 2 disc CD.
But… when I try to do this in MJ9, I get some totally understandable error.
It appears that MJ does not want me changing track numbers form what the original CD had.
Can this be fixed?

I usually do that after I've ripped and encoded the CDs. I name the files Artist - Album (Disc #) - Track # - Title and put all the files in the same directory. Then in MJ, I locate the files in the File Location view scheme. They will be shown in numerical order by disc #. Select all the files, right-click and choose properties. The files should still be shown in disc#/numerical order on the left, choose Tools/Fill Track Numbers From List Order. Then, in the Album tag on the right, change it to read just the album name without the disc # reference. Finally, if you want, you can go back to Tools and Rename Files From Properties.

Yeah. It looks like the ripper is trying to read a track with the new number and not finding it. Doesn't work on V8 either though.
Alternatively, you can do the renumber and rename after the rip. I just checked and it works although it's extra work.

Thanks for the info.
Sounds like a lot of extra work for something that RealOne does so easily.
I have several double albums… seems like MJ9 needs to have this ability as it is currently a real pain in the you-know-what.
