Album and track count different
Hi everybody,
I'm Avalon from the Linn forum and I'm an Audioholic . I have just migrated my music collection from a windows home server based system which I have had in constant use since April 2008, it is an Ava Rs3 ripping server from Tranquil Pc in Manchester, excellent machine, fanless and still has no errors or problems, however I realise I'm on borrowed time and after the Linn forum event and meeting with the Premier inn gang and the esteemed and Knowledgable Brian from Edinburgh, I decided to buy a couple of Qnap nases and 4 WD 3 bt red drives.The gang in Scotland spoke highly of Minimserver and so after using Asset from Db poweramp For the last 7 years I downloaded minimserver, donated and loaded minim watch, minim watch was a bit prickly to install on my windows 7 machine, firstly a firewall blocked it, fair enough it wasn't too hard to get around that, but 3 times during the install process it got stuck and just wouldn't load. Eventually it did load, then it wouldn't work so I had to uninstall and reinstall, eventually all was fine if however a bit frustrating. Now after all that preamble the reason I'm posting, I very carefully copied everything from the windows server across to the Qnap, but according to Minimserver using Kinsky or songbooklite as a CP I have 1,291 albums and 17,977 tracks, Lumin CP tells me I have 1,292 albums, however when I look at my windows server using Kinsky or songbooklite I have 1,344 albums and 18,012 tracks. I know the obvious answer is I missed some but I'm sure I didn't , so if I didn't what is happening? As I'm writing this a thought has come to me, is it possible that minimserver would consider a 2 disc album as one album? Whereas asset definetly sees them as two. Mind you the track count should be the same.... I'm not sure whether it's settings in minimserver or something else and I don't know where to look for the tag settings if such a thing is available to the user on minim server. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction please. One more question, probably one of many I may ask I notice on minimserver there are two trees on CP one for Artist and another for All Artists, when I click on Artist, 153 of my albums are dumped into one big folder, most of these albums do contain Chinese lettering, asset does not discriminate in this way, why? When I click on All Artists the albums with the Chinese lettering are now free of their folder and appear as asset displays them. Why the difference? I tend not to trust these to view my collection so tend to use albums instead. If I could be so bold to make a request, on Artist and All Artist could I have artwork instead of a blank container as my eyesight isn't as sharp as it should be and I'm also used to browsing these artist containers visually. I'm going to keep using minimserver and see how I get on with it, it must be good as everybody on the Linn forum says so Avalon |
