Music Album with Multiple Disks - kfank - 2024-01-31
I followed the Jellyfin documentation for organizing files for a multi-disk music album but did not get the desired/expected result. For example, here is Talking Heads - Sand in the Vaseline album:
kfank@HP6200-Linux: /srv/media/music/Talking Heads/Sand In The Vaseline$ ls Disk\ 1/
'01 - Sugar On My Tongue.mp3' '10 - Take Me To The River.mp3'
'02 - I Want To Live.mp3' '11 - Heaven.mp3'
'03 - Love --) Building On Fire.mp3' "12 - Memories Can't Wait.mp3"
"04 - I Wish You Wouldn't Say That.mp3" '13 - I Zimbra.mp3'
'05 - Psycho Killer.mp3' '14 - Once In A Lifetime.mp3'
"06 - Don't Worry About The Government.mp3" '15 - Crosseyed And Painless.mp3'
'07 - No Compassion.mp3' '16 - Burning Down The House.mp3'
'08 - Warning Sign.mp3' '17 - Swamp.mp3'
'09 - The Big Country.mp3' '18 - This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody).mp3'
kfank@HP6200-Linux: /srv/media/music/Talking Heads/Sand In The Vaseline$ ls Disk\ 2/
'01 - Life During Wartime.mp3' '06 - Wild Wild Life.mp3' '11 - (Nothing But) Flowers.mp3'
'02 - Girlfriend Is Better.mp3' '07 - Love for Sale.mp3' '12 - Sax and Violins.mp3'
'03 - And She Was.mp3' '08 - City of Dreams.mp3' '13 - Gangster of Love.mp3'
'04 - Stay up Late.mp3' '09 - Mr. Jones.mp3' '14 - Lifetime Piling Up.mp3'
'05 - Road to Nowhere.mp3' '10 - Blind.mp3' '15 - Popsicle.mp3'
But the Jellyfin UI labels the album as "Sand In The Vaseline (Disk 1)" and the track list as
1 Life During Wartime
1 Sugar On My Tongue
2 Girlfriend Is Better
2 I Want To Live
3 And She Was

I expected the album name to be "Sand In The Vaseline" and the tracks to be ordered in sequential order from Disk1, Disk2, etc. How do I correct this?

Is the disc number populated in the ID3 tag?
RE: Music Album with Multiple Disks - kfank - 2024-02-01
The Disc Number field in the track metadata was not filled in. I manually entered this for all the tracks and then the UI displayed as expected. Why did it not auto-populate this from the directory structure? I have about 50 audio books that I have already ripped and am not looking forward to having to manually correct each track. I am running Jellyfin server 10.8.10. Has this been fixed in a more recent release? I have not been able to locate Jellyfin release notes.
RE: Music Album with Multiple Disks - TheDreadPirate - 2024-02-01
For music, Jellyfin is pretty reliant on the embedded tags. I ran my music through MusicBrainz Picard and it populated and tagged my music automatically. I highly recommend you also do the same.
RE: Music Album with Multiple Disks - esjaysee - 2024-02-02
Yeah, Picard is really useful. I ended up stripping all data from my collection, used the acoustic id(I think that's what it's called) and it tagged just about all of them. I never tried it for ebooks, the bookshelf plugin does a good enough job for me for that.
RE: Music Album with Multiple Disks - kfank - 2024-06-24
As this issue appears to affect all of my multi-disk albums, I ended up using Picard to add the discid tag for each track. I found this much faster than using JF to edit the metadata for each track.
