Combine multiple cd's into one title?

Post by Hairybiker »

My library has cd's split as artist/album/cd #/track # - title
Now that I have them all imported I am seeing multiple albums with the same title all that is different is the cd #
Is there anyway of combining these into one album with multiple cd's or do I have to re-organise the library again?

Thanks

Not at the moment, but several people have asked for this so should create a idea in the IdeaTorrent: https://sourceforge.net/apps/ideatorren ... eatorrent/

Guayadeque expects that all the tracks are in the same folder for every album so If you want to show up just as an album you can put all the tracks in the same folder.

Personally I prefer if an album have 4 cds to show 4 albums with cd1, cd...

Thanks for your help

So how do you differentiate between the tracks if you have multiple 1's 2's etc? Or do you renumber them as 101 201 etc?

The easiest way is to rename the files. Disc 1 starting with 101, disc 2 with 201, etc, then put all the files in one folder. The only downside I can think of is you lose the possibility of having different covers for different discs in a box set.
