Can't import music database (all flac files)

[James-e]

Thanks for the help mate, I really appriciate it.

I have found something that had the same effect as converting.

If I right click to bring up the context menu then go to "file operations" > "Move, Rename or Copy Files". It has the same effect as what it did when I converted them. The files name are altered in the same way as when they were converted but because I was cconverting to the exact same format and compression level, the files end up the same, only the is 100 times faster.

But now I still have the same problem as I did before on most of my music.

Albums/Folders that contain tracks ONLY from one artist are imported but Various Artist Album/Folders are not.


Metadata from a VA track.

Artist Name : Various
Track Title : DJ Hazard - Selector
Album Title : Drum & Bass Essentials CD1
Date : 2005
Genre : Drum & Bass

Metadata from an artist track.

Artist Name : The Prodigy
Track Title : Firestarter
Album Title : Their Law: The Singles 1990-2005 CD1

Any Ideas.

Found the problem

The problem was something to do with Album Artist, I took Album Artist and put that into the Artist Name field leaving Album Artist blank. I was then able to import those tracks into Xlobby. So now it's just a case of doing the rest.
