Multiple disk sets

[Ron_Thorne]

The data difference can be as little (and almost hidden) as the album title having a space after it (or not!) - might sound daft, but have you checked that?

Yes, but I'll check again.

I raised this issue sometime ago. OrangeCD sees a "space" as a character. It shouldn't be so.

I wholeheartedly agree, but doubt that it will change.

With a little experimenting, it seems the following fields must be identical for all discs if they are to be in a multiple box set. Based on my changing various fields, these are the only 4 I could find that matter:

Composer (if you are using the classical format)
Artist
Title
Format

The latter seems to me to be the most problematic, given the number of new releases that include both CDs and DVDs.

Thanks, Jazz_North. Seems as though we have similar tastes in music. I'm a drummer, and Art Blakey has been a favorite (among many) for decades. Do you live in the north, by any chance?

Thanks for the interest and tips, everyone.

I'm still interested to see what Andrei will offer to my queries.

Well, I've made some minor progress.

I painstakingly looked at every single detail on the General tab, and after noting an extra space here and there after the Album Title or Artist name, was able to coax 2 "wayward" discs to sync into the proper tree.

However, in trying to complete the tree on the 10-disc John Coltrane box set, cannot find any discrepancies on disc #10, so it's still in the wrong tree. It's exhausting and frustrating. Everything looks exactly the same, yet ...

Man, talk about the enigmatic nature of computers and software!

Your thoughts, Andrei?

Is this the Complete Prestige set? So that discs 11, 12 thru 16 are "in the tree"?

No, it's the 10-CD Wallet Box from Membran (Europe). Discs 1-9 are in the tree, but Disc 10 refuses to join them. It's on a separate branch.

Thanks very much. I appreciate it.

I must confess that I finally figured out my problem with respect to the elusive Disc 10 mentioned above. I had failed to change the Format from CD to CD box set.

Egg on face/operator error.

Sometimes it really helps to not look at the details for a while because you return with much fresher eyes.

Thanks for all of the suggestions!
