Ss3.0: Lot Of Albums With The Same Name

[MDfreak]

When importing a lot of mp3's in SonicStage 3.0 I often get a lot of separate albums with the same name and every album containing only 1 track. This happens when you have a album which contains tracks of various artists. For every different artist SonicStage creates a separate album because it thinks every album can only have 1 artist.

This can be solved by setting the "compilation"-option for every album but with a couple of thousand tracks (and thus about the same number of albums) this is a huge job because you have to do the following steps for each album:

- select the album an choose "properties" when you right-click on the album.

- enable the "Compilation" option.

- click ok and wait some seconds for SonicStage to update the Library.

After doing this for about 100 tracks I've had it and searched for an other possibility and luckily I found it. I managed to change this setting for all tracks at once by doing the following:

- Go to the "all tracks" view in SonicStage

- Select all tracks and choose "properties" by right clicking on one of them.

- Wait some time for the properties to appear.

- Set the option "tracks in the compilation albums"

- click ok and wait some time (in my case about a minute) for SonicStage updating the properties of all albums.

Now all the tracks of one album are in the same SonicStage-album despite that some tracks in the same album have different artists.

I hope more people that have this problem can solve it this way without having to do a lot of work.

That's VERY useful information. I had this problem after I imported my library from ss2.3 to ss3.0. Most of my Soundtrack and Putumayo albums were chopped up into a huge number of unmanagable albums.

Thanks for your help!!!
