Title: various artists problems
Post by: gfly3 on July 04, 2011, 03:19:50 AM
 Hello ,
I have a few "Now" series compilations and i cannot get them to show up  correctly. When I click on one in the album view , and it goes to the song list , it will show the same artist and song for every track on the album , then if you click on a song in that view the artist and song show up correctly.. I don't know what to do ... I'm running V7.0.07 on Windows 7 ... Thanks for any help !

The now albums are compilations so they have different artists on them hence they show the artist name.

You can make it show track - artist on compilations. Just set that in the options screen.

General Settings
Track display options
    Show Track First on compilations.

That should do it.

you need to download "tag & rename", as mentioned many times on this forum.
I have many "now" compilations and I rename the file to (track) - (artist) - (title)  and then get tags from file name. ( a function of tag & rename) .
Every album displays correctly with individual name and title.  The main heading will read still "various"

All the now albums display in numerical order. the folders are named e.g. "now 77" and the album to "now music 77-1" and "now music 77 - 2"  etc

I have tried all the suggestions you helpful people have given me and the only one that works for me is by GlennCarnell (thanks GlennCarnell) . All the others result in the same thing as the picture in the link I posted . Now with that being said, if i click on a track in that view it shows up correctly (correct artist and song), then if i keep hitting the back button and go back to the album view and then click on that album again , all artists and songs show up correctly until i go to a differant album and go back to that one again it starts showing like the one in the link again.. Lol   Thanks for all the input everyone, I'm sure to get it sorted out sooner or later..

I think what i would do is tag the nows the way ive told you and then go to C:\Program Files\E-Touch Jukebox 7 and delete the videos.rec and videos.cvr files, deleteing these two files will totally delete your library, then open the E-touch config tool and generate your library again, This sorted out my library when it went tits up and hopefully it will sort yours out too
                                                                             good look
