There are 1 folders containing songs with different values for the Album field, folders usually represent an album and if so this field should be the same for all songs on the album

This release in MB: https://musicbrainz.org/release/86dc11bc-a6d0-41ad-beb4-f7d4b5e02924

on my side only has albumartist, artist and album tags.

SK suggests:
These folders contain 23 songs but only 11 have a value for the Artist field

That’s misleading - looking at the spreadsheet it’s SK that only has 11 tracks with artist value:

it’s also not retrieved albumartist or album, despite those tags being present in the files:

Similarly, mbid’s related to the release are not populated:

I suspect SK only knows about earlier releases:

The consistencies section of the report is simply what is in the files at the end of the task, this data could have just been added by SongKong (as in this case), already there added by a previous SongKong run ,added manually by you or added by another application ecetera. It doesn’t matter it is simply reporting what is in the file. If you are running in preview mode then it is reporting on what would have been in files if not running in preview.

So the statement is correct the folder contains 23 songs, but only 11 have a value for Artist value which is good to know since you would usually want all songs to have a value for the Artist value.

Regarding the changes that SongKong has made it looks like it has done Song Only match because it could not find a release to match all tracks. You are correct the https://musicbrainz.org/release/86dc11bc-a6d0-41ad-beb4-f7d4b5e02924 release is not in albunack yet, but the one disc version https://musicbrainz.org/release/bf14c433-2757-4019-a086-15f033e7c190 is so that would be why it has only found details for the first 11 tracks. You can use the 2 disc version by using the Match to One Album task and that will retrieve it from MusicBrainz

Just noticed the bit about it not retrieving albumartist or album from the flac file

Regarding albumartist what do you have Save Vorbis/Flac AlbumArtist set to that might be the reason since there are two different mappings that can be used by Flac for this field

I’m not clear why it hasn’t retrieved album might need to send me report and files.

I’m still running in Preview mode, letting it loose on stuff and then looking at the outcomes in the spreadsheet to see what would transpire.

Settings:

I’m not sure I follow - in the example I gave, every track on disk has artist and albumartist populated. the screendump from the spreadsheets shows it’s dropped artist for the tracks it’s not identified, and dropped albumartist altogether? Entirely possible I’m misunderstanding, but I’d expect prepopulated data to persist unless overwritten by SK data?

#5

That is correct. Okay I think the issue here is that SongKong cannot see any of the existing data so as far as its concerned there is no existing data and I think this is because the fieldnames in the files have been written as lowercase when usually they are written as UPPERCASE

Now, maybe SongKong should read the fieldnames in a case-insensitive way, I’m not sure but because it currently doesn’t I think that is why you are seeing the confusing behaviour.

The tagnames are just displayed lowercase in puddletag. It uses Mutagen to do the tag reading/writing. Partial output from metaflac --show-all-tags:

Perhaps you could send me the file then.
