Re: PerfectTunes R1.7

@mmm Ensemble is used for FLAC as album artist if it is present, because for a while 50% of the programs used to write album artist as Ensemble.

Thanks Spoon.

I realise there's more to life, but it would be very useful for this kind of thing to be documented!

Re: PerfectTunes R1.7

Spoon, any thoughts on the issue I raised around the ensemble tag?

[Spoon-]

Re: PerfectTunes R1.7

It will be looked at in the next few weeks hopefully.

Re: PerfectTunes R1.7

Any thoughts to what is causing this?

Re: PerfectTunes R1.7

@DownwardSpiral - what are the exact numbers shown in the drop list (on a clean run, and after a reload)? ie:

xxx Albums with Ripping Errors
xxx Accurately Ripped
xxx Albums Cannot Check
xxxx Total Albums

The results of the repeat run do not specifically say 0 albums accurately ripped, they just don't have a line giving that detail.

Clean run:

After clean run

19 Albums with Ripping Errors
1719 Accurately Ripped
102 Albums not present in AccurateRip
4675 Albums Cannot Check
6515 Total Albums

First run after clean run (with no changes or additions to library)

12 Albums with Ripping Errors
102 Albums not present in AccurateRip
0 Accurately Ripped
4675 Albums Cannot Check
6515 Total Albums

A clean run takes several hours, but a repeat run only takes a few minutes

Re: PerfectTunes R1.7

interesting. That certainly kills my tags not used theory. Hopefully Spoon can clarify all this. (As another test, what if you choose only the single album folder but do include ensemble tag. Does that work? Just to test the selection method versus the tag.

Testing the single album folder, both with and without 'Album matching selected:
Various ensemble tags present -> album separated by ensembles and deemed uncheckable (a bug, I believe)
No ensemble tags present -> album shown as a single album and confirmed accurate

Happy now?

Re: PerfectTunes R1.7

Just tried that and indeed removing the ensemble tag has resolved the problem, so it's looking very much like the ensemble tag was responsible for the issue.

Just for completeness, the only other thing I did differently was to point accuraterip at that album's folder instead of the whole library, so that I could do the test in a reasonable amount of time (and just retested against my entire Compilations folder).

Btw there's an 'Album matching grouped by folder' setting which has always been selected in my testing.

Also should add that I haven't entered this ensemble data myself, it came from tag dbs.

Re: PerfectTunes R1.7

I'd take one of the albums ensemble that doesn't work, edit tags to remove ensemble, then try AR again. Does that solve the problem?

Re: PerfectTunes R1.7

as a data point, I'm not seeing any issues on my end with compilation CDs (with or without an Album Artist). I don't use ensemble on any of my CDs however. So that *could* be a difference. I'd take one of the albums ensemble that doesn't work, edit tags to remove ensemble, then try AR again. Does that solve the problem? If not, then it is not the ensemble tag. (Spoon will have to confirm, but I'm still thinking that tags are irrelevant to the AR match...but I certainly could be wrong about this).

Re: PerfectTunes R1.7

I didn't think accuraterip used any tags in its analysis. I believe you do need to have the tracks for an album in their own subdirectory.

These albums are all contained within their own folders. I thought I had seen posts about albums being grouped / separated by virtue of their album name and album artist tags, but I could be mistaken.

It looks very much as though it is using tags, however, as I am seeing compilation albums being split into multiple albums in the 'Cannot Check' category on the basis of the ensemble tag (or it could equally be the artist tag, from the albums I've checked, but you definitely wouldn't expect this issue to arise because tracks in a compilation had various artists).

Each part-album is listed by album name and artist/ensemble name, the reason given for each part-album being in the 'Cannot Check' category is 'Incomplete Album', and it displays the correct number of tracks for the given album/ensemble/artist.
