Love it when it is possible to use double cd music albums

For example:

New album Nickelback had got 2 discs
disc1 and disc2.

Now you've got in xbmc - album vieuw

Album\ Nickelback
Songs \ content:
1.....
1......
2.....
2......
etc.

This must be

Album \ Nickelback

Disc1 \1\2\3 etc.
Disc2 \1\2\3

just set the position in set tag and off you go.

Can you explain that?

edit the id3 tag of your music files and set the discnumber.
There are several great programs to do that

**spiff** · 2012-06-05, 18:05

well, it depends on what format the tags are in, but for id3v2;

Code:
TPOS

    The 'Part of a set' frame is a numeric string that describes which part of a set the audio came from. This frame is used if the source described in the "TALB" frame is divided into several mediums, e.g. a double CD. The value may be extended with a "/" character and a numeric string containing the total number of parts in the set. E.g. "1/2".

I would advise using MusicBrainz Picard or TagScanner
Both free to use

In mp3tag if you select all the songs you want to tag (e.g. select-all or ctrl-A on windows), then you can right click to access the "Extended Tags" where you can add the Disc Number with the "add field" button.

EDIT: And mp3tag does use MusicBrainz. Great tagging app!

Shouldn't it auto add those disc tags then?

thrak76 · 2012-06-05, 20:53

It may. I have very few multi-disc cd sets, so I'm not sure. On the ones I do have, i ripped the discs to separate folders under the parent folder, and found the tag not to be there. Was a an easy fix to add the tag afterwards.

If I ripped it all to one folder, the tag may have been added automatically.

Wil play with it tonight. When i've got some problems i will let you know

g.scholtens · 2012-06-11, 08:53

It doenst work.

Got the album 2pac - greatest hits.

Folders disc 1 and disc 2.

In m3tag, i give disc 1 the albumdisc number 1 and for disc 2 i give this album number 2.

But in cbmc i now get;

Song1
Song01

**spiff** · 2012-06-11, 10:23

you are doing something wrong. i just tested with

id3v2 --TPOS "1/2" 04*
id3v2 --TPOS "2/2" 03*

and indeed track 4 is now listed before track 3.

g.scholtens · 2012-06-11, 10:58

can you post a screenshot of it?

**spiff** · 2012-06-11, 11:19

what good would that do? it shows exactly as before, except the order of tracks 3 and 4 are the opposite..
