    Having two different album names (albeit with only differing punctuation) will, on most music players, split the album. If the C700 is only looking at the files on BRENNANB2 then those are the files you will have to edit before re-indexing...

    I would just like to vouch for Dan’s program called Bliss, it’s very powerful and can sort out your Tags and artwork with ease and runs on many platforms. On his website there are many articles on tagging which are invaluable if you maintain a local music library.

    Adrius - I can only give my experience but it may not match your problem..

    When I started to use BluOS, I discovered how much of a mess my tags were. After messing with different apps I finally rebuilt all my 45,000 + track datebase (manually, track by track over several months). During that I discovered that if, on an album, I had only one track with different tag information in it, then BluOS would hive that one track off and treat it separetly as you seem to be showing.

    Using your example in the pics you posted, have you looked at all the tags in that one track and compared it to the information in all the others of that album?

    Seven of those 8 tracks have all their tags the same - one track does not. It may be only one tag within that rogue track but it is not matching the others so is not being treated as being part of that album. Your job is to find that different tag within that rogue track.

    My experience was that when this happened (soooo many times it wasn't funny) it was often (NOT always) tied up in the 'Artist' Vs the 'Album Artist' tagging. Sometimes it was the 'genre' tag also. In your case, being classical works, perhaps it might involve the 'composer' tag as well. My collection only has a small classical content and so I cannot say beyond that. I do know that accurate and useful classical tagging has been generally complex for users for many years.

    Summery for me was: ALL tags in any ONE album have to be exactly the same, bar track title and track number of course, the difference may be slight or subtle, but it's usually there with digging..

    Hope this is useful
