    Asset V5 Wrong amount of albums

    Hello,
    in the last days I upgraded my WHS Server from Asset V4.3 up to V5.0.
    Everything works fine with one exception: I guess the counting of the amount of Albums is wrong.
    When I copy the following CD´s to my Server

    Hank Jones
    CD1
    CD2

    Johnny Smith
    CD1

    the amount of Albums will increase not by 3 (which is my expectation) but only by 2.
    The 2. Directory from the Jones CD is ignored by the counting of Albums by asset.
    Any hints?
    Thanks in advance, Berthold

    Re: Asset V5 Wrong amount of albums

    Hello,

    this was just an example.
    But here are real names :
    Byas Don
    In Baden 67
    The Savoy Sessions
    Stitt Sonny
    The Prestige Masters
    "Byas Don" is a subdirectory of "Jazz" and "In Baden 67" is a subdirectory of "Byas Don"
    Will this help?

    Probably because Hank Jones (CD1 and CD2) is 1 album and Johnny Smith (CD1) is 1 album (1+1=2).

    Hi,
    CD1 or CD2 are just example names, but These are 2 seperate CD´s or Albums.
    Why should they be handled as one Album by asset?
    or the other way round, Í´d like to have These as 2 Albums.
    What should I do that asset handles them as 2 seperate Albums?
    Thanks,
    Berthold

    Asset will use tag data to determine the number of albums so if your CD1 and CD2 have the same album name then Asset will treat them as a single album even though the audio files may be in different folders. If you want to have them treated as separate albums you should simply add "CD1" and "CD2" to the album name tags.

    Yes, I´ve done this. The Album itself is there andcan be streamed.
    It´s just about the counting of the amount of Albums/cd´s

    How does this album appear when you browse? as 2 albums or all the tracks are listed together as one album?

    When you say 'Yes, I´ve done this', what are you referring to, what is it you have done?

    I´m using the same string to name the directories as I´m using to name the tags - so the Albums have different names also in the tags.
    For me the problem is not with the naming of the directories or the tags - as I´m using the same string to build up the Directory Name and the tags.
    I thought that Asset will use tag data to determine the number of albums - but please which tag is used here?
    Is it "Discnumber"? Every album has the tag Discnumber with value = 1 within my collection

    If the album has a different name then that is ok, try a refresh all of the database.

    Hello Spoon,
    I´ve done a refresh all of the database - but nothing changed, the amount is the same as before, which means the amount is wrong.
    Btw, as I upgraded the Asset from V4.3 to V5 the amount of the albums was different with each version. In version V4.3 Some more albums are counted by asset.
    Any more idea´s?
    Berthold
