Hello Friends!
I'm from Russia! I collect music in lossless. And I have a lot of singles, albums, compilations!

How to make xbmc understood and separated from albums and singles, compilations?
Why the developers have not made ​​partitions Singles and Compilations?

In the video section - no questions. There, all done very well! But in the audio section - all bad!


Please, help me.

Thank You!

for singles: make sure the 'album id3 tag' is empty when you scan songs to the library.

for compilations: no idea. never tried it myself. maybe this article can help you out:

Make sure the album artist and album title field is filled in

Yes, I did, and a new section singles, but when clicked, it shows the singles like this:


And it is wrong. Singles should be separated.

I removed the tags in these singles (image flac+cue). In itself xbmc code developers need to fix. Only where it is necessary to write them?

[ronie]

in your screenshot, that's not 'Singles', it's 'Songs'.

those two are difeerent things.

Songs: all tracks belonging to an album
Singles: tracks that don't belong to any album

since you mention ape+cue, i assume it is an ablum.

You are wrong. In my case was opened section singles.
1.
2.
3.

This can be seen in the pictures, as I show exactly what I open and it's singles.

Or maybe you have a different section offers singles? Please show it on video or image.

[ronie]

ah, sorry... the fact it says 'Songs' at the top of the screenshot confused me.

so, you have the Singles item in the library and it lists all the single tracks you have...
now what's wrong with it? i don't exactly understand what you mean with 'Singles should be separated'.

i think you're confusing Singles in xbmc with cd-singles or ep's that contain multiple tracks.
xbmc will treat those as albums.

If there is to "single" and there should be a single, but no tracks.
The idea is to go in the singles section, and then open the single "Doggy Style" and then only see the tracks.
And it turns out that all singles, in this case, two singles from various artists that stands in view of the tracks. - This is a bug xbmc. And who write to fix it, I do not know. May suggest to anyone of the developers to address?
