Bugzilla – Bug 3866
Multidisc albums in different folders not recognized as same album

I'm often using the following folder hierarchy to store my songs: Artist Album1 Song Album2 CD1 Song CD2 Song Multidisc albums using that structure aren't recognized as the same disc any more. The first album's song don't have the disc number in their name ("1. first song"), the other disc's songs do ("2-1. first song of second disc"), similar to bug 3662. If I throw all the songs of the two discs into the same folder, it's all fine again.
Created attachment 1394 [details] Log showing the recognition problem of albums spread across folders This file shows the d_scan & d_info log for two cases: Aretha Franklin's "30 greatest hits", stored in a folder structure as described, and BAP's "affrocke!...", all files stored in the same folder. While the latter is recognized correctly, the first shows up as two distinct albums. After I moved everything from cd01 and cd02 into the same folder, I've got only one "30 greatest hits" left (which is correct).
Created attachment 1395 [details] Two of Aretha's songs from CD1 and 2 These are two songs which are fine, when in the same folder, but not, if in CD01/02 folders.
Created attachment 1396 [details] ...and two BAP songs
In the case of these two albums, the structure that did _not_ work was: Aretha Franklin 30 Greatest Hits CD01 11 - Think CD02 13 - I'm in Love BAP affrocke!... 07 - Helfe... 12 - Luckiest man... Once I moved Aretha's songs directly into the "30 Greatest Hits" folder, I was fine. Aretha Franklin 30 Greatest Hits 11 - Think 13 - I'm in Love BAP affrocke!... 07 - Helfe... 12 - Luckiest man...
And this used to work before? The problem is that you have the disc number set, but not how many discs are in the set.
Created attachment 1397 [details] Album list without double entries I'd say so: this is a screenshot from 6.3.1. Though I have to admit that, in an attempt to fix the issue, I removed the id3v1 tags today. I can't remember whether the disccount was in there. Isn't DISCC the count?
Fixed in change 8795
Thanks. Is fine for me.
Good for me, too. Thanks.
