Sorting out library

[mike (Mike Fass)]

I give you an example which applies not to Classical music only…I scan library and I obtain “Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart” with 5 albums and “Mozart W. A.” with 23 albums.If I re-tag the second one with “Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart” is listed under “W”. Even if Artist name is a single word, the two groups remain separate.

If I do a search with the word “Mozart”, what I get is very confusing and not satisfying.Mostly - for me this is VERY important - I listen to entire albums. If in my search I click on Albums view all, “Mozart: Requiem” is before “Mozart: Clavier Concert” and “Mozart: Sonatas”. Apparently there is no alphabetical order.Furthermore, including albums where there is just a track with the word “Mozart”, I get 99 albums.

There’s a bunch of work coming in 2016 related to both editing generally, and classical music specifically. I discussed our current editing functionality in a bit more detail here, but let me know if you have any additional questions. For the moment, I would recommend identifying albums whenever possible.

Another issue - I discovered that I have some album duplicates. It’s odd as do not have Tidal nor I made changes to the library. If I select/edit the Album duplicate, it gives me the option to delete it from HD. Is it safe to delete it? Is not going to delete the “good” entry on HD, is it?!

More information about our duplicate handling here (including instructions for turning it off) – let me know if you have more questions @bibo01. Thanks!
