Hey,

I'm having a problem with the Music Library.
When I scan my music, everything is added just fine, except folders with a cue/mp3-file.
When I go to Library - Albums, the albums consisting of separate mp3-files show up as one album, but for albums consisting of a cue/mp3-file, every song is added as a separate album with the same name.
Kind of difficult to explain, so here's a screenshot


And here is a piece of the cue-file:
TITLE "20 Years of House (Mixed by Nicky Holloway and Danny Rampling)"
FILE "20 Years Of House (Mixed by Nicky Holloway & Danny Rampling) CD1.mp3" MP3
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Your Love"
PERFORMER "Franke Knuckles"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "Break 4 love"
PERFORMER "Raze"
INDEX 00 04:36:41
INDEX 01 04:36:42
TRACK 03 AUDIO
TITLE "If U Really Love Someone"
PERFORMER "Liberty City"
INDEX 00 07:38:27
INDEX 01 07:38:28

Is there something wrong with the cue? I guess not, because XBMC does this with all the other cue-files I have also...

Interesting. Are the .cue/mp3 in separate folders, or is there more than one in the same folder?

Do you mind detailing the exact structure and provide a complete .cue file so I can reproduce?

Cheers,

In this case there were 2 cue/mp3's (2 CD's).
Because of you asking this, I looked for a folder with only 1 cue/mp3, and apparently these were added to the Library as they should (so it's listed as <album name> - Various Artists).

I removed a cue/mp3 from the folder that was added incorrectly and updated the Library, after this it was added as it should be (<album name> - Various Artists).

Files in folder:
20 Years Of House (Mixed by Nicky Holloway & Danny Rampling) CD1.cue
20 Years Of House (Mixed by Nicky Holloway & Danny Rampling) CD1.mp3
20 Years Of House (Mixed by Nicky Holloway & Danny Rampling) CD2.cue
20 Years Of House (Mixed by Nicky Holloway & Danny Rampling) CD2.mp3

Cue-file for CD2: http://pastebin.com/d742c3204

Thanks for looking into this

Ok, I've taken a look, and I know the reason why it's doing what it's doing.

The problem is that you have a single album in a folder, but it has overlapping track numbers (due to the two discs). We thus assume there must actually be at least two separate albums, and ofcourse, given just a bunch of songs in a folder, we can't reliably separate them out (note that in this case ofcourse we could, as they come from different cue's, but in general we can't!) If the track numbers didn't overlap there wouldn't be a problem.

There's two things you can do to work around it:

1. Only have a single cue/mp3 in the folder (i.e. separate them out into subfolders).
2. Change the track numbers in the second cue perhaps?

From the code side of things, one possible solution is to treat .cue files as a folder instead of replacing items in the file.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Thanks for the explanation.

I'm not really looking forward to changing all the tracknumbers, so would it solve my problem if I change the TITLE in the cue-file?
Before: TITLE "20 Years of House (Mixed by Nicky Holloway and Danny Rampling)"
After: TITLE "20 Years of House (Mixed by Nicky Holloway and Danny Rampling) CD1"

Sure, but you'll get 2 entries in the library is the only "problem" there. Much better than 40 though!
