I have transferred the following album into per/track flac’s/
https://musicbrainz.org/release/957a3841-afa9-48f6-b21d-d78558438fde
When I try to “Action->Match to Album” it lookups total mess.
I also tried to haripin to the specifc muscbrainz uuid, but the same result.
What’s causing the problem?
You say it is 4 CDs but you only seem to be trying to match one CD?
Would be helpful if you could run Advanced:Create Support Files.
Sorry I wasnn’t clear. This is a 4 CD boxset. But I see the problem when tagging the 4th CD.
I can share the CD as FLAC’s for you to debug the issue if it helps.
Yes please, that would be useful.
I have looked at the logs and it is not clear what the issue is so yes I need you to upload the files and send me a private message on forum or an email to support@jthink.net so I can look into this, thanks.
Thanks for the files, I can confirm that i have replcaited the issue getting the same results as you, I added the Disc No column to the display so now it is clear it is matching songs from different cds on the album.
I will come back to you later when i have worked out exactly why this is happening. But I think because there is no existing metadata in the files there is nothing to indicate what track or even what disc each song is from so the matching is going to be based on Acoustids. Because Abba are such a popular band I think there may be a problem with some Acoustids being incorrectly matched to incorrect tracks as well as the correct tracks, for example track 6 is incorrctly matched to Waterloo as well as Shes My Kind of Girl, but the count of matches to Shes My Kind of Girl is much higher so seems like a bug not to have picked that one.
But when matching to multi-disc albums you don’t have to match one disc at a time. It would be interesting if you could load all four discs then use Match to One Album to see if when trying to match the complete album it works or fails.
Thanks for your investigation - problem solved.
I now preseed flac metadata tracknumber and discnumber fields and now works OK.
