Option "Grouping" only working on FLAC-files?

Studio
1

I’m using “Grouping” to make certain selections. I found out that the Grouping selection options only work on Flac-files.
Is that correct ?

Hello @JvI,

Can you check if you have the grouping metadata filled in the tracks that are not FLAC?

3

Yes, I filled in the matadata. By the way, I also found that the grouping option is not working on WAV- and AIF-files.
Is that helpfull for you ?

4

Do you mean you can’t fill the field or it’s not filtered at all if you use the grouping filter option?

5

I use MP3Tag to fill the field in but it’s indeed not filtered at all in Audirvana (3.5 and Studio).

6

Have you tried to click on the sync button in Studio settings so the metadata changed made outside of Studio are applied in it?

7

Yes, more then once (I also removed the whole library, closed Studio, opened Studio, added the library again); no result.

Okay, I will send you a link to upload your database so we can take a look at it.

9

DB uploaded (by the way, I’m on Windows).

Do you mean grouping in th way, that for example 2 different symphonies build 2 groups for 8 tracks?
On Mac this works for aiff-files. Wav-files I don’t have.

I use grouping for selection of files with the same resolution-level e.g. MR=medium resolution (Flac 44.1 & 48 kHz), HR=high resolution (Flac above 48 kHz). I wanted to do something simular for MP3-files.

@Antoine
I uploaded some files to show how the tagging results trough different tagging programs.

Hello @JvI,

The metadata you have from MP3Tag are not compliant, I can see this using Yate:

https://id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames

The JRiver and Picard are good:

TIT1…TESTgroup|
|ingMP3 (JRiver). |

This one is not compliant as it use GRP1 and not TIT1:

|GRP1…5…þT.E.S.T|
|.g.r.o.u.p.i.n.g.M.P|
|.3. .(.M.P.3.t.a.g.)|
|…

thanks for analyzing this. So for grouping-tagging of MP3-files I will use JRiver or Picard.
