a few questions
I like the software, I have been playing with it for over a week now. I have not tried it with my entire collection (!4,000 files), but it seems as
though it will do the job I need. I'm adding things slowly, and trying to test out "problematic" albums, and it has given me a few
questions.
Does the database rely solely on file structure, only on ID3 tags, or some combination of the two? I've caught eJukebox sometimes
"creating" an album from mis-labeled tags, even when the tags in those songs do not match in the album field.
How do I deal with multiple disc albums? Naming the folders "disc 1, disc 2, etc causes the album image lookup to fail. I suppose that I could
fix that manually by finding the image by temporarily changing the name.
I've seen how it treats compilation albums, but how about expanding on that ability? I have a lot of soundtracks, and it would be nice to be
able to use sub-categories to organize them.
is there a way to sort Artist's albums (in album view) by the year? When dealing with most artists, I think of their work in chronological
order, not alphabetical. I guess it comes from the days when my favorite artists were putting new albums out. Right now I sort of cheat by using the
lookup to find covers, get the songs sorted correctly, and then renaming the album folder (19xx)AlbumName. this works, but it clutters up the album
view text more than usual. Is there a better way to do this?
