Album/Artist Weirdness

Post by Sharpenologist » Wed Nov 13, 2019 10:36 pm

I'm seeing some odd behavior when two artists have an album with the same title.
Current example - Badfinger and Pink Floyd both have albums titled 'Wish You Were Here', and when I try to play one or the other, I get the tracks for both albums intermixed.
Folder structure is correct, top level folder is by artist name, inside these folders are folders for each album, inside these folders are the actual tracks.
Tag information is correct on the tracks.
Thoughts?
Suggestions?
Bueller ... ?

Thanks in advance,

1. Do you have set the tag "Album Artist" in the music files ? Probably not. Suggestion : do so
2. Have a look at Settings > Media Library, there you tell Neutron what it should define as an album.

If you don't want to maintain the tags, perhaps "Split Album by Path" would be a possibility.

Or you go to the list setup and try "Metadata from Filename - Get metadata from the filename of a track" or "Filename - replace metadata with filename".

I never tried that, because I always use tags. I think this would require some sort of regularity in the filenames.

Thank you, sir!
Split Album by Path did the trick ...

Okay, good to know; I've had an issue with similarily name artists, so that does help.
