multiple cd albums
i would like the option to be able to tell if an album has multiple cd's. i have a bob marley album (songs of freedom) that has 4 cd's in the album
but under marley it only shows the first cd cover and only after you click on it do you see all 4. the cd's are named 'songs of freedom disc 1' ,
songs of freedom disc 2 etc. but they still remain in the same album. does ej ignore the disc 1 or whatever numbering convention in the album title
when reading it?
i don't mind them all being under the same album but would like to see on the cover or something that tells me there is more than one cd in the album
is all. I don't know if this is doable in some kind of graphic overlay on the cover in a corner or something else, i just think it would be helpful
when scanning the albums.
sorry for the number of posts recently. just started really getting a hold of the ej and using it and am really loving it. thinking about getting a
touch screen just for this.
thanks.
j.

Multiple albums
"...some kind of graphic overlay on the cover in a corner or something else": Good idea! I would like something like that too.
Otherwise the key for multiple albums is "disc x" or "CD x" in the album names. That prevents to have several times the same album cover displayed
in the albumlist..

I use (CD1) (CD2) to distinguish it before the track number in the file names.
That explains why my multiple CDs are showing up as separate albums and privatejz are not.
I wish mine worked like disk 1 and disk 2 do but maybe privatejz can use (CD1) or just CD1 to get the effect they want.

i actually prefer the way it is now with all the cd's under one album cover. i would just like the option to show some sort of graphic or text that
tells me (or others) that there are more than one cd in the album.
see image for one quick example of what i mean. even something simpler would work.
i thought of just changing all my album covers that have multi cds but didn't want that graphic to show on the large album when a song from it was
playing so i thought some sort of overlay would be best in the album view.
for what its worth.
