Album Edits

Post by sparker781 »

I am not sure if this is an issue with my Android device. For whatever reason when I have a ton of Greatest Hits albums in my library....It lists them all as one giant album. I can't seem to edit any of the tracks as they're listed as read only. Is there a way around this?

Thanks

Is the Album Artist set correctly (eg. to the Albums Artist, not the same value for all Greatest Hits Albums)? Also what App on Android?

Well the album art is correct. I changed it in Media Monkey. When I try and play the album in Poweramp the only one that seems to be screwing up are my Greatest Hit's albums. I actually grabbed the MM android application from the Playstore and they all seem fine. I just cant switch the album cover for any of them.

Got any ideas? Aside from loading the app when i get home and changing the album art then

Thanks

For example. I have alot of "Greatest its albums and they all show up as one single album. Even if I change the name on them the album artwork is for the same album.

I understand, that's why I asked about Album Artist and App you're using.

It's effecting 2 albums in particular. Bob Seger's Greatest Hits and Run-Dmc's greatest hits. I managed to change the album name to the corresponding artist name and greatest hits, for example Bob Seger: Greatest Hits, but The albumb art is listed with Run-Dmc's greatest hits. I am using Poweramp on my phone to listen to music. Not sure if thats what you mean

Thats fine. Except some of the album art is missing. Weird. I wish android was better equipped to handle music better like @pple.
