HDX doesn't index Albums with a lot of tracks

Posted by: rjstaines on 01 August 2012

I bought the FLAC hi-res download of 'Beethoven for All' which has 37 tracks & I moved it into a NAS share where I keep all my Hi-Res downloads (about 80 albums from Naim, Linn, HD Tracks etc).  After doing a Rescan, my HDX sees only 5 of the 37 tracks.

 

So I created a new NAS share & copied the whole album into this new share, all by itself.  After scanning, the HDX sees all 37 tracks in this new share and still only 5 of them in the original.

 

So, thinking the data in the original might be corrupt (unlikely, but..) I COPY the album back from this new share, into the share with the rest of my Hi-Res, I rescan and... still only 5 tracks appear in the original share, whilst the full 37 appear in the new - single-album-all-by-itself - share.   All of the data is actually there in both shares, as can be seen in Windows.

 

Something 'aint right, I'm thinking. 

 

I've power cycled the HDX and re-scanned the Hi-Res share several times, the problem is 'solid' as us programmers used to say in the good old days when you neded a fork lift truck to move your computer (and networks were just a twinkle in Tim B-L's eye).

Roger - can you drop me an email and we'll take a look at that because I know that the servers will handle albums with up to 99 tracks (the red book standard) and have a couple in my collection to test.

 

What's more likely is there's some difference in the tagging on some of the tracks and they're listed elsewhere under a different entry.

 

Cheers

Thanks Phil. I'm just off out (to fix a customer's network!) and will email you soon as I get back. - Roger

Downloaded same set (from the site that shall not be named, but speaks with a Scottish accent and rhymes with Spinn Records ), and have had no such problems. Mind you, I did run it through Tag on the Mac, and split it up into nine separate 'discs'  – one for each symphony -  as well as adding composer data, for ease of access.

 

But even in raw state, couldn't see (at a brief glance) anything likely to cause metadata problems – all tracks are labelled with the same title and artist details, so should all appear fine.

Andrew, mine came from the other download site accross the pond and I've left all 37 tracks in the one album, so a couple of the variables are not the same as yours.  I'm also getting the same problem with a 33 track album, also from accross the pond, by i-Musici.  Maybe I should have stayed closer to home to download - Glasgow perhaps?

 

I'm hoping, however, that Phil will be able to shed some light on the matter when he and the other great chaps at Naim get back from their well-deserved summer break.  (Flattery does get you everywhere, doesn't it?
