After some further investigation I have reduced the number of not recognised albums to 1. Although things are still far from right as shown in the 2 attachments as the albums are split between 2 artists despite them being the same artist. For some albums to be recognised a .jpg file needs to be added to the folder although this is not universally necessary as sometimes Elisa supplies it own artwork from somewhere.

How did you do it?
As I said in my last post I found some albums once I realised some had been put in another artist, ie. some albums are in artist ACDC and others in artist AC/DC, also some are in both. Once I had a combined list I added a Format.jpg file to each album folder that did not have this file and did a reset database and rescan everything. This is the album it won't recognise: https://www.discogs.com/release/673094-ACDC-High-Voltage. Of note, this is the band's first album only released in Australia and New Zealand and an album with the same name but different tracks was released internationally (first international album) at a later date. That said, the above link shows the proper catalogue numbers etc. After further investigation I have now edited the metadata and got Elisa to detect all albums. Part of the problem relates to a "deal" when I originally purchased this album decades ago back in the '70s when an additional track(s) were released/sold with the album and some problems with the metadata data in the metadata files I used from Discogs. So the problem appears not to be an Elisa problem and this bug can be closed because it is not a bug. It would be helpful though if this metadata issue could be referenced somewhere in the scant app documentation. Yeah Elisa relies on music having correct metadata. It also supports a usage mode that doesn't require this: the "Files" view that simply lets you browse the filesystem. Seems like in your case the metadata mode was the better choice, and now your music is correctly tagged. Awesome! |
