When I add NEW CD albums to my NAS and ask it to scan for new data, on some multiply albums say a set of 5 CDS, label Disc 1, Disc 2 etc. Sometime I get an icon per CD which is fine sometimes I get just one icon containing the 5 CD’s which is also fine, however wants really annoying is Ive had it split the discs so you might get just tracks 2 and 3 under one icon and then the remainder under a different one? I tag ALL my CD’s correctly so why is it doing this and is there an easy way to manually edit and re-group the tracks under the correct album artwork?
Hi, thanks for your help on this one? But surely it should sort them by Album Name? ie 101 Power Ballads [Disc 1], 101 Power Ballards [Disc 2] where the album names are clearly different? In my case, it seems random sometimes it will give an icon for [Disc 1] and an icon for [Disc 2] albums other times it will lump them all together and annoyingly other times it will split an album into two parts with tracks 1-5 on one and then tracks 6-20 on another? as shown above? Is there an easy way to re-do this? at present, I’m having to delete the incorrect ones and then add them back In one at a time but this just takes ages!!!
This is the same album. Therefore the [Disc x] needs to go from the AlbumTitle meta tag.
There is a separate DiscNumber meta tag.
Yes I do fill in the Disc Number field in the metta date or as windows puts it Part of set, 1fo5, 2of5, 3of5,4of5 & 5of5
I used different names in my album title fields so iTunes puts them into different folders when importing? Make it easier when say you are using car play for example, but I am still populating the disc number meta data field as well but this seems to be getting ignored?
You can’t do that, or Plex will continue to behave as it did.
I don’t see any logic to it? If I take my time and delete the incorrectly placed cd’s and then add them back in one at a time it will then work correctly, but if i throw in say 10 cd’s all in one go some will work and some won’t? I can see any logic to the way it’s behaving? Is there any way to manually re-combine these back together ? or is deleting the cds and then re adding them the only way to sort this mess out? If I throw all of these into an blank iTunes library it works 100% of the time? it one thing I do to check for any errors like a missing disc number or misspelt title?
Plex is not iTunes and does not necessarily behave like iTunes.
You can try “Merge”, but it can get frustrating quite quickly.
