Sorry, it was proving quite hard to access email last week, and when I did reply
to the email it bounced. I will double check the setup, but I have already
checked that each file in this directory, which contains 100 FLAC files recorded
from 7" vinyl, only has the following FLAC tags set:
<genre><artist><title><year><comment>, with tags for <album> and <tracknumber>
left blank. Most Genre is set to pop, with a couple to reggae or soul.
When I browse into that folder, the sort order is by <title>. It displays the
album name as that of the directory name for all tracks. I'll check the relative
sort order for the genre part.
Thanks,
Pascal.
