I have noticed that certain albums show up in album view "split" as if they are multiple albums. It is often when the album has multiple artists and is a compilation, but not always.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to how the split occurs. I just saw one album that has 16 songs. Three of them were split off to be "another" album.
This happens with the desktop software on a PC, but also when using Android phone from several mfgrs. The free app, but I donated b/c this is a handy little service at Christmastime for my long-distance family.
Anyone else notice this? I tried to search for the topic, but any search I do that has more than one word comes back as "no results". Using single-word searches, I might as well read the entire help forum, lol

Please let me know which album has an issue or which songs have an issue and I will check the tags or errors. |
Thank you.

There are quite a few, but early on in the list (sorted alphabetically by album): "A Christmas Collection - Jazz To The World"; "A Christmas Gift - Various Artists"; A Jazz Christmas - Hot Jazz For A Cool Night"; "A Jazzy Telarc Christmas - Various Artists"; "A Rock 'n' Roll Christmas - Various"; "Carols and Candlelight - Various" (ripped and tagged from a homemade CD that was manually tagged with JRiver).
Almost every file I have has been ripped by and/or tagged by JRiver Media Center, going back as far as version 15.
If you find any consistencies in the file tagging errors that could be fixed by a batch process, I'm all ears. I have some familiarity with several programs, including MP3tag, JRiver Media Center, MediaMonkey, foobar, and a few others. I also have no problem getting what i need and learning how to use it as necessary.
Thank you!

***UPDATE***
I think I found what may be causing it after trying to look for problems with the tagging: My music storage drive forces me to have multiple folders with the files stored in them. I can't just dump all files to the root of the drive or even have all of them in just one subfolder. The first album I checked (Jazz To The World) is split between two folders. It just so happens that songs 5, 7, & 12 are in a separate folder from the rest on my storage drive. They are separated that way in the Muzecast app and the in the web browser view too.
I guess the question now is: Do I have to re-organize my storage so that all songs from any given album reside in the same subfolder on my storage drive (so that they will show up as a single album in Muzecast)?

That is a correct finding. The folder path is used to create a unique id for an Album in case if the same Album is located in multiple folders, so it will appear as a separate Album. The reason for that was that a lot of users, including myself have the same album in different quality, let's say in SACD and just plain FLAC. In that case, both Albums appear with the same name. |
Thank you.
