I have a synology Server and my DAC is Lumin.
I couldn't make some albums to be together. The songs are split.

Using Jriver I changed the tags, mainly Album Artist and fix the issue, then I rescan minim server from Synology Control Panel, re open Minim Server Library and again splits, however the library I use for J River, same source (are exactly the same files) is OK.
I think I need to wipe Minim Server and start a new library, but I'm not sure.

If anyone can tell me how can work tags and the changes I make take effect and that allows me to have the library consistent meaning no albums split, I will really[/i] appreciate it.

thanks.

If the songs by different artists are in different folders (this will happen if you have used iTunes to do the ripping), you need to set the mergeFolderAlbums property to 'true' as well as setting the same AlbumArtist tag value for all the files.

Another possible cause of the problem is that JRiver might not be writing AlbumArtist tags into your files but only storing these tags in its own database. If this is the cause of the problem, see this page for a solution.
