Problem with album display - Lio84 - 12-10-2024 17:41
Hello
I have a problem with an album which appears 13 times in the Naim app with the same name:
- the album has 56 tracks
- the files are located in 13 different folders named CD 01, CD 02, ... CD 13 under the same parent folder
- All the files are tagged with the same album name and with track number 1, 2, 3, ... 56
- Discnumber = 1
- Disctotal = 1
- All the files have the same front cover
It seems like the apps displays 1 album per folder.
All the other albums display correctly.
Configuration
- MinimServer 2.2 update 253 on Melco Server N1A
- Streamer Naim audio 555
- Naim app on IPAD

The simplest way to fix this is to set the mergeFolderAlbums property to true and restart MinimServer.

I have set the mergeFolderAlbums property to true and restart Minimserver but there were still 6 albums displayed instead of one.
Then I have filled the tag « albumartist » with the same name for all the tracks and everything is Ok
Thanks for your support

For albums to be merged across different folders, the following tag values in the album files need to match exactly (upper/lower case characters, spaces, punctuation).
1) The Album tag value needs to match exactly
2) The artist value also needs to match exactly. This value is the AlbumArtist tag value if present, or else it's the Artist tag value if this is the same for all audio files in the folder. As you have now put matching AlbumArtist tags into all files in the album folders, MinimServer is able to merge the files into a single album.
