So… here we are again !
I’ve searched the forum - but did not really find an answer
so…I noticed some Metadata errors…
I had a triple CD listed a 3 albums , not a Album with 3 CDs
This was correct in Roon - SO I locate the Album in my collection and put it into Metadatics - my goto on the Mac for editing the metadata , I corrected the data and its now 1 Album with 3 CDs - but is still showing as 3 albums in AV. I have re scanned the folder - but still the same
I have looked into changing the Metadata in AV but could not find a " Merge " type function that Roon has, nor by selecting " INFO " there was no option to change the CD numbers
any ideas ?
Thanks
There is no merge option like in Roon. To merge albums go to the 1st CD, select the first track then use shift and down arrow to select all the songs in the album, then open the metadata editor, the meta data editor will then show boxes for track# x out of x and disc# x out of x. Change to disc 1 out of 3 then save
Repeat changing disc number for each of the CD’s then bingo, should be good to go. Works for me.
So, since I was amending the Metadata in another app - re scanning in AV and the Metad had not changed , I un installed AV ( using app-cleaner ) and deleted the database from the user account. I re installed AV but my old albums were still there - was not expecting this, but I am running a re scan anyway to see if this amends any of the meta in AV
hi Agoldnear
Many thanks for your well thought out reply. I do agree with all that you have said. I’m impressed with the audio quality processing of AV. I also like the lay out - I especially like the folder option way of using the interface. I wasn’t expecting the crashes and app errors that I got when I initially installed and program as I thought I had all the bases covered as far as the machine was going. But I’m willing to learn. I have some trial time left to test drive the new car so to speak, so I will continue with the trial ( need to explore playlists etc ) . I always thought that my Metadata was in good order and well maintained - Using Metaadatics on the Mac to pre check all the data before I transfer.
I was also impressed with the forum and how helpful some of the members have been.
I may ask some questions from time to time
Thanks

also, just as some background re my set up
I have my I Mac Studio connected via USB C to USPDIF ( in and out ) going to a Behringer Ultimatch Pro DAC which is then connected to a SONY TAes700 Amp
The sound is excellent
