![]() ![]() If you’ve ripped from a CD then, chances are, the files are separated by CD. Multi-disc albums are those where the album contains multiple media in one of the release formats, such as multiple CDs. You can do this with any music tagger, common ones used as MP3Tag (Windows) or Kid3 (Mac) again I’ll show how to do this with bliss later. Another approach is to mark the tracks as being within a compilation using the COMPILATION tag. ![]() The fix is to either set one consistent artist for all tracks or (and this is better) to set an ALBUM ARTIST field for all tracks. The cause is that the album’s track artist varies from track to track. This is common in a lot of music players, such as iTunes. We can see an album has been split by its track artists. Scroll down the list and it gets worse – my library is totally disorganized: The first character can be capitalized, as can the entire file extension.Īlternatively, I’ll show how to fix it with bliss later on. The images can be in either PNG or JPEG format with the usual file extensions. The fix is to find the artwork yourself, and save the image with one of the following names in the album folder: coverart Looking good, except for that pesky missing cover art for Electric Music’s North London Spiritualist Church. Here’s an example library I put together: If that fails, Volumio can look up the artwork online. Volumio first looks for artwork in an image file inside an album folder, and then, if enabled, inside a music file (cover art can be embedded inside a music file). To many though it’s an essential part of a digital music collection it helps with selecting and finding music as well as its enjoyment whilst playing. In this article, I’ll demonstrate some of these rules, and then show how bliss can be used to implement fixes. But still, your Volumio experience can be improved by following a few simple rules to improve your library. For example, a cover art downloader is built into Volumio to automatically populate missing album artwork (in the UI files are unaffected). Volumio offers a bunch of handy helpers to work around music library inconsistencies and incompleteness. But to get the most out of a music system it’s best to make sure your library is correctly organized. That’s a subtle requirement in general, music will play fine. I work with a lot of different playback systems whilst supporting bliss and the one thing they have in common is a requirement to get your library organization right. It’s targeted at distributed, heterogeneous home music networks, so Volumio’s mix of audiophile-grade playback and multi-device (with a focus on micro devices like Raspberry Pi) support appeals to the tinkerer in me. bliss is a music organizer for large music collections. Every wondered what it takes to reach perfection with your music library? Well, Dan Gravell from Bliss is here to enlight us! ![]()
