Hello, biggrin.gif

until saturday i worked with Sonicstage 3.1 and tried to import a new album with 64 songs(it is a DoubleCD). SonicStage3.1 only imports the songs seperately and not in an album. sad.gif

My solution: I deinstalled SonicStage3.1 and re-installed SonicStage2.3: and it works with SonicStage2.3!

anybody there who have a clue why the 3.1 NOT import my songs to an album?

thanx in advance

Mike

they changed the way albums are supported in 3.1, not really sure why as no one seems that impressed. iirc 3.0 still had the old version of album support if you can find it.

You can rectify your predicament easily, however, in a tedious way. Assuming the double CD set you have is called "A," you will need to manually set the album title of those tracks in question to "A." By default, SonicStage 3.1 organize your music by Artist, hence the chaotic breakdown of your imported compilation CD.

One of our knowlegable member, jadeclaw has provided a thorough fix to this so-called problem in another similar thread. To quote jadeclaw:

The solution is simple.

The source column in previous Versions is now the Album column.

You have to sort your library again by finding the tracks back and entering the Album name into the Album field.

SonicStage then creates an Album with the same name and moves the tracks into that Album.

The Album itself is dropped into the group containing all other albums of the same artist.

Another thing: When moving multiple files that way, remember not to touch the Title field in that dialogue, not even clicking into it.

When importing MP3-files, make sure that all fields in the ID3-Tag contain the correct information.

Then of course the MP3-files are sorted into the correct Albums.

The following fields must be set:

Title

Artist

Album

Genre

Track#

Normally, when reading a CD, these fields are correctly set, thanks to CDDB,

but on downloaded or self ripped MP3s, this is often not the case.

Result: Chaos after import.

Note: If both ID3-tag versions are present (V1 and V2) Version 2 is used.
