Album list: individual songs shown as separate albums, was: "Foobar2000" (TOS #6) Options

[Graeme_D]

Been Ripping my collection with EAC, got it set up all correctly and ripping my CD's using FLAC. Recently i ripped and compressed a 2 disk "Various Artists" CD using FLAC. The rip went smoothly.

After the rip i add the folder to foobar2000 and its showing each individual song as a separate album in the album list. All of my other albums from one artist are fine.

Cant understand why its doing this and its annoying is there anyway i can fix it?

Posted a screeny here to show you what i mean.

The problem probably lies within your tagging practice, or something being off or inconsistent within this album.

I would guess that you need to adopt an ALBUM ARTIST standard in your tagging.

Also, it's easy to see that Back In The Day (Disc 2) is missing a date tag.

Hi Trout thanks for your reply.

Think i understand what i did wrong on that occasion, here is the command line i use in EAC for FLAC

-8 -V -T "ARTIST=%artist%" -T "TITLE=%title%" -T "ALBUM=%albumtitle%" -T "DATE=%year%" -T "TRACKNUMBER=%tracknr%" -T "GENRE=%genre%" -T "COMMENT=%comment%" -T "BAND=%albuminterpret%" -T "COMPOSER=%composer%" %haslyrics%--tag-from-file=LYRICS="%lyricsfile%"%haslyrics% -T "DISCNUMBER=%cdnumber%" -T "TOTALDISCS=%totalcds%" -T "TOTALTRACKS=%numtracks%" %hascover%--picture="%coverfile%"%hascover% %source% -o %dest%

Is it something that needs to be changed here, or just in foobar?

Forgive me as im new to this.

Thanks

Does anyone know how i can intergrate ALBUM ARTIST in my tagging, as seen above?

I don't use EAC, but IMHO you can replace

-T "BAND=%albuminterpret%"

with

-T "ALBUM ARTIST=%albuminterpret%"

or use both tags:

-T "BAND=%albuminterpret%" -T "ALBUM ARTIST=%albuminterpret%"

If you use both, the current version of foobar2000 will show two values for the Album Artist tag. Use only the Album Artist tag when writing.
