Music player

[debiandonder]

I tried Cantata and many other music player and the biggest problem was the the didn't put the music of one cd in one folder like they should.

Amarok works most of the time, but have also placed two cd's from different artists in one folder.

I loved the interface of Clementine but it split up one cd and put it in many places and not even in the Music folder.

Debian has newer builds of pulls from Clementine git upstream...
There's also an active Clementine fork called Strawberry, which is in my stretch-multimedia OBS repo. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... strawberry

what I think most of us matters, that are stream music services plugins, are still being mantained anywhere?, I see..last update was 19 Apr 2016

Net plugins for Clementine have had some updates to the code since then: https://github.com/clementine-player/Cl ... c/internet

After floating around in this thread for 3 pages and a month, I think I finally understand that your problem is not the music player, but tags! If you want an album to show up as a single listing, the AlbumArtist and Album tags need to be the same. Use a dedicated tagging program such as Easytag (which is what I use) to edit the album tracks to have consistent names and they should show as as a single album.
It comes down to the player as well. In Amarok there are options to sort by Artist or AlbumArtist so if you have an album of say, Various Artists - Summer Chill Tracks and have it sorted by artist, you will get multiple album entries with say, DJ Fred (featuring Joe Bloggs) and another one with say DJ Vinjari , they will show as separate entries. If you have all tracks tagged as AlbumArtist - Various Artists - Summer Chill Tracks and have it displaying AlbumArtist, they should all appear under one entry for that album.
I've obsessively grappled with this stuff for years and every player does it differently. Many players such as DeadBeef are able to edit the tags manually but I find a dedicated tagger program is usually easier or better. Easytag can look up CDDB database and find entries for automatic tagging although these often need further editing anyway.
So sort out you tags and your players will sort out themselves!

How do I get easytag? Windows Media player identified every album without fail, until Windows 7 stopped working and I switched to Ubuntu and used Rhythmbox that worked most of the time and if it didn't I just typed in the details myself.

How do I get easytag?

Do you know how to install a package from the repos? It's there.

Yes, thanks! Found it in synaptic package manager. Did have to do all of this in Ubuntu though.
