Regrouping titles into album

[PacTrix]

Hello,
I am sure this is a well known problem but I did not find the answer in the forum.

I digitalise existing CD into Flac and I use Groove (on W10) to read them or BlueOS (from my NAS)

For compilations :

• Sometimes I see all the different titles from different artists under 1 album (as it is physically organised mimitising the physical CD) and this is what I want
• Sometime every single title appears as being 1 album...

I digitalise the CD the same way, organise them the same way, and - although I had a look at the tags within MP3TAG - I do not understand why I have different results for something that appears the same to me.

Example

• wrong case : all songs as a different album monCIO
• right case : all songs under a single album monCIO

Any help will be much appreciated.

Regards

It is not necessary to have the same cover in each file - but it is up to the player whether he shows just one for all or the separate ones. There are actions to copy the contents of one field to another, e.g. if you want to keep singles as singles then you can easily copy the cont…

Hello,
I made a quick test. Entering "Various Artists" in the "album artist" field seems to solve the problem, at least on Groove Music.

Note that you need to rescan Groove Music Library. I applied the following procedure which worked OK

1. Close Groove.
2. Open the folder: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.ZuneMusic_<random>\LocalState\Database
3. Delete everything inside this folder.
4. Open Groove and watch the application magically re-scan the library.
