RC 4: 2 Problems with the music plugin

RogueSquadron · 2006-05-03, 15:57

Hello,

I am experiencing 2 problems with the music plugin and I am not sure, if I do somehthing wrong or if those are bugs. I am importing mp3s from folders organized by iTunes.

- Within iTunes I have a couple of albums classified as compilations. When I open the albums view in MP, it shows one line for each song in each album. Am I doing something wrong?

- For some albums the text view shows different information for different songs. E.g. some of them with track number in the beginning, some of them without. Some with the correct album image, some without. They look completely correct in iTunes.

Can anybody help?

Regards

Amin

Hi Amin,

when scanning the Music Share, make sure that the options:
"Treat tracks in an individual folder as an album" and "Scan Album for Various Artists" are checked.
Of course your compilation should be stored on disc with a folder per album.

Then it'll work as expected.
The Developer of the Music part is doing some changes on how tags are being handled, but they will be only available after 0.2 has been released.

So what i said above is currently the only way.

hope this help,
Helmut
