How to display Box Sets in Music Library properly?
#1
Okay, so here is my problem.....

I have the Beatles in Mono Box Set which comprises of 14 albums.

I scanned the album using Picard and the added it to my Kodi Music Library.

It show up as an Album under The Beatles no problem.

However, when I click on the Box Set, all 14 Albums are mashed together!

How can I get the Kodi Music Library to list each Album separately in either another directory layer or sub-directory?

Thanks for your help.

kodi has no real support for boxsets in the music library, there's no support for subfolders there.
but if you fill in the 'disc number' id3 tag, it should list the track properly by album (in one folder).

the only alternative is to scan them as 14 separate albums.
Do not PM or e-mail Team-Kodi members directly asking for support.
Always read the Forum rules, Kodi online-manual, FAQ, Help and Search the forum before posting.

I've changed the "ALBUM" tag to the name of each of the 14 different Albums.

I've deselected "download additional information during updates"
I've selected "Local Information only" for both Album and Artist
I've deselected "prefer online information"

And when I scan the set to the Library, It still groups all 14 albums in to one folder.

Do I have to remove the MusicBrainz ID from the tag also?

Thanks.
