Asset V5 Wrong amount of albums

Re: Asset V5 Wrong amount of albums

Is it "Discnumber"? Every album has the tag Discnumber with value = 1 within my collection

Why are you setting CD2 with Discnumber = 1?

Re: Asset V5 Wrong amount of albums

Why are you setting CD2 with Discnumber = 1?

Just because it´s only 1 CD/album in this subdirectory. If I´m tagging album boxes then I´d like to name the album/subdirectory like "At Budokan 1" and "At Budokan 2".
But why counts Asset not correctly - in my point of view - the amount of albums?
And which tag or which information is used by Assed to count the albums?
What is the mechanism behind that?
Can you please explain this?

Re: Asset V5 Wrong amount of albums

Asset uses SQL code to count the albums, based on track count > 0.

So 2 folders are named "At Budokan 1" and "At Budokan 2" and all files in both folders have Discnumber = 1.

What does the Album tag contain for the files in "At Budokan 1" and what does the Album tag contain for the files in "At Budokan 2"?

Also, Edit ID-Tag screenshots might help here.

Thanks. Can you please further describe what "based on track count > 0" means?
Is Asset not using a tag value to count the albums?
My personal intention to ask all this is not only to understand my problem, but to handle my data in a way that the correct amount of albums will be count by Asset.

Where asset is installed to is a program uMediaLibrary-dumpdb.exe

Run it, save the file and load into Excel, it will show the internal layout of the database, the later table of Album should be of interest to you.

Hi,
i think there is something wrong with the Album count (since Asset 5).
If you have 3 Albums called e.g. 'Greatest Hits' there is only 1 row in t_album (trackcount is the sum for all 3 Albums).
If you show browse Albums in a contol point, there is only 1 'Greatest Hits' (with many wrong tracks), the other 2 are not there.
If you browse by Artist/Album they are there.

Re: Asset V5 Wrong amount of albums

If you have an album artist set then the Greatest hits albums will be listed 3 times in the album table.

With album artist it's OK. Thanks!
