Computation of number of albums ...

[lyapounov]

I have a very rigorous folder structure. An album is a leaf of the tree structure, and there is no subfolder. Top structure is 1) Renaissance, 2) Baroque, 3) Classical etc...

According to minimserver, I have 5636 albums

According to my number of folders, I have 5928 albums.

Now, many albums have the same title, which can explain the discrepency. Three reasons for this:

- Box sets which do contain n CD, each CD is an album, but bad me, they all have the same title (example: "The complete Verve recording of Teddy Wilson" boxset has 5 CD, so 5 subfolder, but each CD has the same album name, and a different discnumber. Very bad of me. I am correcting this)

- Two albums have the same name. Example:

6) Jazz/Paul Bley/1994 - Time Will Tell/
7) Pop Rock Folk Electro/Robert Cray/2003 - Time Will Tell/

Both album have the same title "Time Will Tell"

- Two version of the same album (original, and remix. Or flac versus SACD. Pink Floyd is very good at this game)

So, to have minimserver realigned with my library, I need to retag a lot of albums. Fortunatly, I created my own database, so I know where they are.

Maybe when I am truly retired... :-)

O well, when I say that tagging is a nightmare, I mean it !!
