Troubleshooting problem with file numbering display

[Budgie]

Hi and very many thanks for all the above. Much needed info here. OK for screenshot but now not needed yet as there are clearly changes I must make following your explanations.

First retaining historical ripped dates is no longer important to me so I shall in future adopt your suggestion for adding a ripped date henceforth.

I understand the point about minimserver and if I allow the changed date/time this should not be a problem however I don't buy many disks any more and always do a full rescan when I put a new album/work on the NAS. .

I suspect my problem is with rsync and probably have a mistaken memory of what I had in Easytag preferences did before the rebuild of the machines. Will make some changes and see how I get on. Will reply again if I still have a problem. Meanwhile very many thanks for your help which is much appreciated.
Regards,
Budgie
