Author Topic: Albums automatically being split into 2 "discs"  (Read 590 times)

I have some album folders being split up. 8 or 10 songs will show up normally, then another 5 or so will show up as 'Disc 1". Of course this messes up the running order. All the music files in the original folder are labeled the same I think, as just one album. I couldn't find anyone asking about this specifically, so I'm sorry if this is a repeat topic. Thanks for any help or advice!

- It's possible some tracks are "on" disc one and other others aren't tagged with a disc number.
- It's possible that if it's a compilation album the <album artist> tag should all be the same for each album. Using something like Various Artists will typically solve the issue.
- You should also define what constitutes an album. Preferences > Sorting/Grouping > grouping > the following fields define an album

Thank you - that was very helpful! I changed them all to [blank] for the disc number.
