Hello guys,
I've recently bought Raspbery Pi and installed OSMC to use it mostly as a jukebox - playing songs from my collection on NAS storage. After I added an audio source to the library it scanned the directories which took a while, but in the end as it turned out that most of my collection was not imported
I tried browsing manually to the files, and I belive that the problem lays in the library not recognizing most of my music in *.apl files. For the albums I use one *.flac file without any tags, that is augumented by multiple *.apl files (one per song) holding only start and end data for the song, and a binary block with Ape tag (Monkey's audio) in it. I guess the problem is not in the ape tags themselves, but in fact that the *.apl tags are not recognized at all (skipped by extension?)
I have such a way of holding the audio, so that I have the full uncut original track, but on the other hand a handy representation of each track to add to a playlist for example. Diffrent CD have different silence between tracks, bonuses at the end, and so on - I wanted to have the original experience.
The foobar2000 on my ol Windows was handling it like a champ. Is there any way to make it work in Kodi? Or would I need to transcode it to other form?
