I have a perplexing JRiver problem

[gmgraves]

I have a J River problem that has me pulling my hair out by its roots! I have the album Getz/Gilberto (24/9600). It has eight tracks on it. Eight tracks distributed across (when I started trying to fix it this morning) 4 different instances of the album! I tried deleting it and reinstalling it, and now I have eight tracks distributed across FIVE instances of the album. I've looked at the album in file view, and every entry for every song looks identical with regard to it's statistics. Why does this happen and how can I fix it? I'm all out of ideas.

Same problem with the SACD album. Ripped the redbook to JRiver and the album got mixed. Finally, managed to edit and put everything into one album but the track sequence changed. Plus the artwork got replaced with another one. Forgot to disable look for artwork or something like that. 

I don't understand why JRiver makes the Media P{layer so difficult. Sure it's flexible, but they don't even call actions by names anybody would recognize!

I think you're getting that because of the multiple artists in the album.

By default JRiver groups a single artist per album.

 

Try editing the metadata as follows:

 

Select the four/five "albums"

Under the Action Window > Tag

Edit "Album Artist" and select/type  [Multiple Artists] (with square brackets)

 

This usually works for me.

 

Regards.

 

 

 

 

 

yes, Thanks, I figured that out several days ago, and it does work. I'm all set now. 

 

Thanks again and regards to
