    hi

    here is the soundtrack - "Fright Night: The Final Cut" 

    these are the folder names for 4 parts that make up this edition

    Fright Night - The Final Cut - The Complete Isolated Score
    Fright Night - The Final Cut - Songs
    Fright Night - The Final Cut - Bonus Material
    Fright Night - The Final Cut - DVD-ROM - DVD Commentary

    they all use the same cover. i looked at the official jellyfin guide but i was a bit confused. i want to retain the folders with the correct track order and folder order and still appear  as one album with the cover i have in jellyfin. can anyone explain in laymans terms how i go about doing this. thanks in advance.

    I don't have many soundtracks with multiple versions but for the few I do I have basically treated them as seperate albums. For the actual album name I would add a suffix such as Mission: Impossible (1996) (Rejected Score) and it would apear as an indivudual album next to the actual film score.

    All my soundtracks for films that have both a score and OST I add (Score) as a suffix to the folder name and then use album artist to keep them seperate within the library. So Transfomers (2007) and Transfomers (2007) (Score) have Various Artists and Steve Jablonsky as the respective album artists.

    I decided long ago to have 1 soundtrack/score for a movie, not multiple different releases in my library. That becomes to confusing so when new versions come out I currate them into existng tracks to create the best album possible. For instance the Star Wars films have so many versions of release. I just want the film scores and then at the end of the albums I include concert versions of the major themes. But that's just me.

    This is how I've been able to get things working for me both for JF and in iTunes which I still use to sync to IOS devices and to be able to add album sort metadata directly into the files. Sadly JF doesn't read that info so I've now had to go back to include album.nfo files in each album folder and I only populate those with a single field for albumsort since all the other metadata is in the files themselves. Oddly JF reads the sorttitle from video metadata, just not music.

    Not sure any of that helps but it's the process I use. 4900 soundtracks in my library and another 1500 yet to currate one day.
    JF Wish List:
    IMDb Top250 metadata
    Collection content rules: Library-Title/Sorttitle/Tag/Director/Filename/Contains
    Collection organized by Library
    Collections scanned to editable XML
    Media info show added Collection
    Soundtrack auto link to movie by title/sort/Manual
    Read Music Album Sort

    I did something similar for a few albums. I tagged them in Picard with all their individual info, then in Mp3tag, I changed the album tag to just be the album title I wanted and used the Discnumber field to separate them.
    🤘 Enjoy
