Music library and problem with artist album with 2 CD

[Super957 23]

My library has this folder structure:

 \Music
    \Artist Name
       \Album Name
          1- Song.mp3
          2- Song.mp3

following istructions on Emby Music Naming : Emby

But in soma case the album has 2 cd

 \Music
    \Artist Name
       \Album Name
         \CD 1
              1- Song.mp3
              2- Song.mp3
         \CD 2
              1- Song.mp3
              2- Song.mp3

and in home of music i have the same artist but with 2 image, one for each CD.

So in which way i can have only 1 image of the artist and clicking on it (open it) i see the 2 CD ??

 

Thank

Hispa

I achieve this by using a tag editor and use the cd tag (1of2, 2of2 etc.) for each CD. Then dump all the tracks into one folder and name it "Greatest Hits" in your case, then adjust all the album name tags in that folder to match that "Greatest Hits".

BIG THANK Junglejim

I follow your suggesions and solve !!!

Just a comparison, i set in this way cd 1/1 in Mp3Tag (screenshot one) and you can see the result on Emby (screenshot 2), where is displayed cd 2 and no cd 1...also for you ?

Thank

"Disk 1" is not displayed because it would be silly if there is only one CD.  I guess that Emby could check before making that decision, but the way it is was a deliberate choice by the developers (it's been brought up before).

Thanks Paul, It would be good to have a D1/D2 title above a multi disc album, but as you stated its not that relevant for a one disc.

I don't really care about it that much because its fairly obvious as you scroll through the CD's.

Hi,

Another way is with this folder structure (like the movie folder structure):

 

 \Music
    \Artist Name
       \Album Name - CD1
              1- Song.mp3
              2- Song.mp3
        \Album Name - CD2
              1- Song.mp3
              2- Song.mp3

 

Now wich one to choose ?

That's not a substitute for tagging though. The tracks still need to have their track and disc numbers tagged in the embedded information in the file.

yes of course

It's just for not having two album listed like the image below

Sorry i understand now

This folder structure works fin too :

 \Music
    \Artist Name
       \Album Name
         \CD 1
              1- Song.mp3
              2- Song.mp3
         \CD 2
              1- Song.mp3
              2- Song.mp3

The things most important is : "The tracks still need to have their track and disc numbers tagged in the embedded information in the file."

Thanks
