Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming ControlPC - Loose Files on Import

Hello

I recently imported an album of FLAC files purchased from HD Tracks, however, about seven of the tracks have been identified as "loose files" by the ControlPC application which I seem only able to import individually. Is there any way that I am able to merge these with the rest of the album?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and kind regards
Clive

Clive,
Just hold down your ctrl button as you click on each one. When they are all highlighted, hit the albumize button just above on the controlpc.

Hi Clive,

I have had this several times and also when I import FLAC files that were originally in a 2 or 3 CD set and try to make them into a single album.

To the best of my knowledge, the process is as follows:
1. Click on "dealbumize" the files that are recognized.
2. All files should be loose files
3. Select all files and choose"make album from selected files (albumize)"
4. You should now have one album with all cuts but all songs may not be identified or in the right order.
5. Type in (or copy and paste from AMG if available) the song titles (they will be identified in grey letters under the space for the song title) and then renumber the songs as per the numbering associated with the greyed out numbers.
6. You may also find on AMG that there is a different version of the album (extra cuts, special edition, etc) that is accurate and then try to import the right data from AMG. This is of varying success.
7. Once you're happy with all the metadata choose save and import files.

It takes some getting used to, but after a few (luckily not many) you'll be a pro.

Good Luck!
