[QUOTE="phunqe, post: 195088, member: 50050"] I feel increasingly retarded trying to get the album lookup to work in MP. I tried a while back, but gave up. Now I'm trying again but it's the same thing. I only get album info for about half my mp3 albums. MP organizes the albums correctly under all views (artist, album etc), but for some it cannot find album info. How exactly does MP collect the data for a album fetch? I assume it groups all mp3 files together which have the same album field and then do a freedb lookup on that? For example, I have a folder called: The_Police-The_Police-2CD-2007 Files in this folder are called (an example): 101-the_police-fall_out.mp3 Following this standard for all files. Both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags of the song above tells me: Title: Fall Out Artist: The Police Album: The Police Year: 2007 Genre: Rock The ID3v2 tags also tells me that this is on disc 1 of 2 and sing 1/14 on that disc. Now, why the "¤#% doesn't the album lookup work for this album? about 50% of all my albums behave like this, All the ID3 information is correct. Is it FreeDB being crappy or what? Another example is "Diana_Krall-The_Very_Best_Of_Diana_Krall_(Deluxe_Edition)-2007", for which it cannot find info either. The ID3 tags are from what I can see correct and the album is there on FreeDB. Please advise. [/QUOTE]
