Nick Cave "Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus"

Support Metadata
1

despite being two separate discs (as also the accompanying text says and accordingly reviews) and despite file tags reflecting it… is grouped and displayed by Roon as a single volume :-/

Hey Paolo,

How do you want this displayed? It’s possible to do it in Fix Track Grouping, but I need to know if you want 2 separate albums or 1 album with disc 1 and 2.

There seems to be metadata for the 2 disc release. There also seems to be a release for 17 tracks in 1 disc.

Cheers, Greg

oops, I fixed it by telling Roon to use file metadata. so now I have 1 album with 2 discs (which is fine)

forgot to check if there were, within Roon, other identification options, sorry
taking a look now

thank you Greg

Edit: ok, had a look and…

  • the CD version (the one I own and have ripped) shows as 1 disc with 17 tracks (which is wrong!) whilst…
  • the Digital Download has those same 17 tracks in 2 discs (which is right but… only for the physical CD edition)

this is weird indeed, usually it’s the other way around :-/

Seems like you got it the way you want, so that’s great.

It does seem strange. I would think it the other way round too.

Cheers, Greg

Yeah, I have also have this ‘double album’ shown as 2 discs of 9 and 8 tracks under 1 album. This is ok with me, and I certainly wouldn’t want it to show as 2 albums.

It is a rare example though, where being able to have more descriptive names for ‘disc 1’ would be beneficial - in this case for example ‘Abattoir Blues’ for disc 1. Box sets would probably benefit from this functionality as well.

Not that rare, Nick, I fully support your idea. And then there’s the issue of separate artwork within a boxset…
