Re: 30 song limit?

Hi, Nicky.

I ripped using Media Center's function "Copy CD", which means that it was
ripped using Media Player into WMA format.

The 32 song CD was with one artist only, and when I use WMP to search for
the missing songs, they aren't there... vey peculiar.

And the thing is...I entered the information personally myself since this
was an old CD with only the title in the database. After all my efforts, now
only the last two out of 32 songs are on the mediaserver... :/

Another strange thing happened to me today. (I am ripping the last 300 of my
old CD:s and some of them are from about the time when the CD format was
invented...).

I was ripping the album Radio City Love Songs, Volume 1. Now this album
consists of 2 CD:s, and they were both named in the database as "Radio City
Love Songs, Vol. 1". And when I try to rip the second disk MCE replies that
"This disk is already in the media library". It really isn't!

I figured I had an idea how to walk around this. I renamed the ripped volume
as "Radio City Love Songs, Vol. 1, disk 1" so that MCE (or WMP really) should
consider that "Radio City Love Songs, Vol. 1" was a different CD. But the
same thing still happened.

Any idea about this one? My own guess is that they gave both disks the same
ID number... what do you think?

Thanks for your efforts to help me. I do appreciate your time, you're very
kind.

not sure if there is a limit for tracks in an album, but it's over 100 if
there is. I suspect there is incorrect or missing tag information in the
files.

1) what did you use to rip the cd's
2) what format did you rip to

if they are mp3 or wma you can view tag info from wmp library. while viewing
the library in wmp (version 10) click the library options above the list and
click choose columns, from there you can choose what columns you want to
see, and what order you want them to be in. After doing this you should be
able to see/edit fields. You can also highlight all tracks in an album and
right click any of them and go into advanced tag editor to view/edit fields.
For instance you could input the album artist field and apply it to all the
albums tracks at once. Unless there are various artists on an album you
would put the single artist as the album artist also. This is an important
field in wmp and MCE 2005 and I suspect that is why all tracks from this
album are not displaying for you.

I just ripped a few of my old cd:s last night, and a peculiar thing
happened.
I see now that my effort for one of the cd:s is wiped out.

The CD had 32 songs on it, and now there's only 2 left when I enter the
album to play it. Is there some kind of limit to the numer of tracks that
MCE
2005 can handle from one single CD?

Anyone else had this happen to them?
