Re: [Banshee-List] Problem with compilation albums

Noone but you can do anything about your millions of improperly ripped CD's. And if Banshee doesnt suit your needs, try amarok. the 2.0 Version was still quite buggy the last time i tested it, but since their database sorts by track artist by default, making albums a subcategory, you might like that system better. But please dont expect the devs to change banshee because you cant seem to be bothered to either rip your cds properly in the first place, or correcting the error wich is quite simple. furthermore, if your collection is that valuable to you, you should always have a backup. not just because you might destroy it when retagging (ive tagged many albums with banshee, and interesteringly enough, by default none of the changes are comitted to files, only the database entries are changed).

I'm using picard for tagging, and i must say despite the fact that the musicbrainz database is quite small, i get exact results 99% of the time.

And music I ripped just a few months ago has this problem, so I don't know what you mean about "tools with compilation support" handling this properly. I stick a CD into Ubuntu, rip it, and then import the directory into Banshee, and it isn't handled properly.

If you're ripping tool isn't filling all of the meta-data tags, then perhaps you should file a bug with that tool.

Good idea. I am not very proficient in music tagging, but it appears that the default Gnome / Ubuntu ripping software has a bug. But that doesn't solve Banshee's problem of what to do with the millions to billions of improperly ripped CDs. In fact, it should make you more concerned about the right default behavior.
