Questions / I have a folder marked [empty] amongst album titles and it has 1000 tracks in it

« on: May 15, 2017, 03:19:58 AM »

I've been using MB for a couple of months and just recently looked for an album (files are listed under traditional albums) and couldn't find it. Eventually I found a particular track listed in a folder marked [empty] at the top of the list under "Album Artists".
It has best part of a thousand tracks in it.
I previously used Logitech Media Server and that could read those files, but MB seems to have a problem with them.
Am I going to have to re-tag all thousand tracks which in itself will be problematic as these tracks do have any listing for artist let alone an album, just a track name, some with track numbers some without.
If anyone has any ides fir a short cut solution I would be very grateful as tracing what all the tracks are and presumably tagging each one individually is not filling my heart with glee.
Thanks in advance

Questions / noobie question on separating albums

« on: February 07, 2017, 12:58:02 AM »

OK, in advance i apologise if this has been gone over (and over) before.
I have literally just today downloaded Musicbee after 8 years using the various incarnations of Logitech Media Server for use with a Squeezebox.
In LMS I could see a list of artists and if I clicked on one I would see a list of albums (folders). Then I could click on that and get a list of tracks on the album (in the folder) and then simply click the first to play the whole album.
In Musicbee I seem to have a choice of every track by an artist or  having to pick an album by name.
Is there a way of clicking through artists to get the albums they are credited with?
I can't see it. But I know I might just be looking for the wrong term or something.
I am sure there must be a simple solution.
SO if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you can offer.
