SUMMARY My non-released albums under Various Artists (that is, MP3 files I ripped from cassette and manually tagged with Picard, which ended up under Various Artists) would only show a single track under the Fast Native Indexer, but show up fine under the slow indexer. The UI told me to report this as a bug. OBSERVED RESULT Only one track shows up for many albums. EXPECTED RESULT All tracks should show up for those albums. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS OS: Fedora Linux 35 (KDE Plasma) x86_64 Host: 20L50067US ThinkPad T480 Kernel: 5.17.11-200.fc35.x86_64 DE: Plasma 5.24.4 I can attach the relevant music files if that would be helpful.

It may be that I'm not understanding all the background here but let me step though a few troubleshooting steps. You have ripped a set of tracks from cassettes and have stored them in separate .mp3 files. You say are using Fedora so you'd probably need to save your .mp3's under the Music folder (by default Fedora indexes files under the Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos folders. That also implies on your local disc and not on a fileshare anywhere else) You've run Picard and added tags to the files. These will be ID3 tags "embedded" in the files. When you add tags, you'll be editing the .mp3's and you'll see the modified dates of the files change. If you open Dolphin (the file manager), press "F11" to show the information panel and then hover the mouse pointer over one of your .mp3's you see the details of the file, including your added tags, appearing in the right hand panel? ... If you see the above, then tagging has worked. Not sure whether the "Fast Native Indexer" implies "baloo", the file search engine that comes as part of plasma, but it's possible (from the command line) to check whether baloo is working. Open a command line window and move to the folder where you have stored your .mp3's. Let's say you have a file "test.mp3", where you've added some tags, in your Music folder. Try: balooshow -x test.mp3 If the indexing has worked, this should show details of the file and the tags you've added. If you've added a tag "artist" you should be able to find the track with baloosearch 'tags:artist=whatever artist' ... If the above works, then the file indexing is (probably ;-) OK and the question is how Elisa(?) is asking for the results
