Syncronization?

[andrei_c]

As of this moment, server is 100% up to date according to my reports. If you can't find any information on server, please try Force Sync as mentioned above, but I really think it must not be necessary.

There was some lagging on Wednesday - and possibly early Thursday - and I am pretty sure it was caused by a huge collection being uploaded and causing other smaller jobs to lag behind. I made some changes to avoid this kind of delays in future.

(I am working on 19dsmither62's case separately and will reply by e-mail - there are some problems with your account that can't be explained by server overload.)

Thanks
Andrei

I made my first sync this evening, and it seemed to work, until I noticed none of my Genesis albums (there's a bunch of them!) appear under the artist list (cloud or list), altho the albums themselves are there in the online database, but incorrectly listed under a different artist name. I have forced a full sync as described above, but nothing changes.

I just noticed that I have the same problem as dgthomas. I went to show a friend my collection of beatles albums, and in the cloud (artists) NONE show up. I even checked under The Beatles... none there either. I have over 200 Beatles albums. So I did the complete sync option. Waited awhile.. but still the same. BUT if I select albums option I find one Beatle album. Turns out this is the only one that I have entered as just Beatles not The Beatles.. ;O) so in the albums mode I do see them listed in the The Beatles section, but in the cloud view of artists The Beatles do not show up even with the top 1000 option selected?????

I have not checked other artists.. I am assuming that if there are others it will be caused by the same thing affecting the beatles entries.

Andrei.. what should I look for to see if this is something I can fix, or is it a programming issue?.

Thanks (Oh... if you want to take a look... my account name on r&t is rgalka)

Here is just a wild guess...

Check your Album Artist Tags... I had some problems with that once.

Another problem that I had to over come was hyphens in the titles... Danzig II - Lucifuge showed up as Danzig II as artist and Lucifuge as the album title even though the Artist was Danzig. I have changed some of them to Danzig II (Lucifuge) so I don't have that problem.

And yet one more problem I had... I was noticing that some of my albums had a time of 0:00. I found out that this problem must have been with the tags because when I totally deleted the tags and rebuilt them the problem seemed to go away.

OK.. I poked around and noticed that The Beatles was filed as The Beatles instead of Beatles,The like all the other "The" groups were. So I selected all beatles albums and tried to change the properties/artist, files as Beatles,The but it wouldn't let me. Said something about a conflict with artist name or something... So.. I checked the Artist profile and found George Martin listed under the display tab/primary name. I did a select all and changed that and resynced and that fixed my problem up at R&T....

So... nevermind ;O)
