A little help in Media Player...?
 

I have two questions:
1) How do you create an album? Or edit one? I have recently transfered about 300 songs (don't ask me why) and now EVERY song has it's own album. It's kinda annoying. I can always make it show only songs instead of albums, but it looks better with albums.
2) Media Player didn't update correctly. Is there some option to update it manually? As i already said, i transfered over 300 songs, and when i enter media player, under "songs" it says i have 209 songs. I tried restarting the phone, but it didn't solve it.
Please help!!!

Try to reset tracker from x terminal wit h command
tracker-processes -r

And question 1 I do not understand.

.edit
Did you randomly choose 300 songs or are those full albums.

The album & artist information is picked up from the tags on the files. If your files are not properly tagged then you won't get any organisation on the N900. You can either use a tagger on your desktop (e.g. mp3tag) or install and use Mussorgsky on the N900. The desktop one will probably be better for mass updates though.

I'll give you some more informations. The songs are from Benny Benassi. Most of them. Others are from David Guetta, Felix da Housecat, ... But that's not important. What i want to do is e.g. make an album for Benny Benassi's songs, Felix's songs, ... But i have an album for every single song. I mean when i enter some album, there is only one song inside. Can you help me with this question? And thanks for the question 2. That solved it.

Where can i download Mussorgsky?

Re: A little help in Media Player...?
 

Do you want the original albums (where the songs came from) or do you mean you want to create per-artist playlists?

Re: A little help in Media Player...?
 

I think that's still in extras-devel (see http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel) unfortunately.

I want to create per-artist ALBUM. I can't stand watching those 300 albums...

Re: A little help in Media Player...?
 

You can edit it directly from your computer once you plug in your N900 in Mass Storage mode. Get something like mp3tag and with each Benny Benassi song (select them all), under album, give them all the same name, and you'll have your satisfaction.

Seriously though, what you want to do is filter by artist rather than by album anyway. As long as the artist field has the correct name (and not Benny Benassi feat. David Guetta etc).

The media player groups everything by album name (for album search), genre, artist and so on.

For example, I have around 800 songs with the genre "Dance" over 30 albums and 350 artists. 400 songs over 21 albums and 84 artists for the genre Hip-Hop and so on.

Thanks, but it's not an easy job to change the album name of the 300 songs. Is there an easier way?
