I've already saved about 50% of what i would have spent on a years subscription to music unlimited by cancelling it and buying about £60 worth of CDs instead lol.

First time ripping “Now That’s What I Call Music” compilation albums and that was a bit of a pain in the arse. I Used #itunes to rip the CDs, it recognised all the tracks but for some reason couldn’t figure out what albums they belonged to and ended up dumping them haphazardly in two folders regardless what volume/disc the track was from. Likewise, #plex also could not parse that there were multiple volumes and lumped them all together so I had to do a bit of manual fannying about.

It’s odd because #itunes recognised the tracks and what album/disc they belonged to during the ripping process but then the library and files just ended up as a mess. #plex likewise is aware that these tracks, discs and volumes exist but cannot match them properly using the automated process.

@chris This is the first time it's happened to me as far as i can remember, usually just naming and structuring the files and folders is enough for plex to correct itself. iTunes also had issues, for some reason it recognised volume 1, 3 and 4 of this collection and their respective disc fine but decided volume 2 should be split between volume 1 and 3 which carried over to plex even though it had vol 2 in it's database.

@chris I suspect it was probably a database issue seeing as iTunes and Plex had almost exactly the same issue, thankfully iTunes did recognise all the tracks on each disc and named the files correctly so at least that made things easier when i was sorting it out.
