Scan Media option does NOT use ID3v...info
I have my iPod backed up to and external harddrive and since it contains my whole music collection I want to import into OCD to catalog it. Each folder is in this tree structure:
Artist\Album\disc#-track#-track title
with all tracks containing ID3v2.x info and each album folder containing album cover art.
Here is an example of the problem. I scan the Artist folder and I get the 3 artist albums correctly titled with artwork. The track names come out like this: <track#> - <track title> where track# is the actual track number presumably from reading the file name of the track and NOT using the ID3 tag which is just <track title>. For multiple disc sets the tracks are in the correct order, though, which is good.
I go into the scan options and uncheck the Get Info From Folder/Filenames and make sure to get just the info from ID3 tags and then artist comes out Unknown and all the albums come out Unknown and track titles are in the format "track 01", "track 02", etc. I have double checked the ID3 tags and all the correct info is in there as other players and iTunes read and use it just fine.
Am I doing someting wrong or does it just not work correctly?
As a side note, I used to name my album tracks without the disc# or track# in the folder, but then OCD didn't know what order to put the tracks in and multiple disc sets came out all wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
