![]() The offending genre seems to one I called “Chillout.” As I said earlier, Volumio scanned this genre’s tracks and all it’s accompanying artwork twice duplicate tracks, and in the “Album” view, each artist listed had some off artwork file that wasn’t associated with the track at all. Could there be embedded info that’s causing Volumio to load duplicate tracks? Could that embedded artwork, or ANY other embedded information be throwing Volumio off when it comes to displaying the correct album in these troublesome genres. I know in earlier versions Volumio didn’t support embedded album art, but has that changed with the newest version? The reason I’m asking is that a scan of my SSD I did overnight using Bliss found hundreds of “duplicate embedded artwork” in my MP3. If a jpg isn’t found, Volumio will then turn to the web for finding album art. In my case, even if I have a hundred or so “singles” or “EPs”, each track is in its own directory with “cover.jpg” denoting the cover art. I understand that Volumio first goes looking for album art in the individual directories where each album (or track) is located. However, the posts I’ve found in the forum are quite old and I’m not sure if anything was resolved in recent versions of Volumio. I’ve actually searched for possible solutions to the issues I’m having and found “workarounds” and other items that may lead to an answer. Here’s another question related to what I’m experiencing. Thanks so much for letting me rant a bit. Something is telling Volumio to load the files in that genre twice. I thought that perhaps one was a dead file that contained tag data, but no actual MP3 data… but that’s not the case. Nothing works to eliminate the duplicate files or showing genres that don’t exists anymore.Īnd yes… the duplicate files are both playable. I’ve cleared the album art cache multiple times, I’ve reset the library database and updated it as well. I’m not having a problem with Volumio indexing a large library because every track on the SSD is there. I’ve tried fixing the problem by turning off “Web Album Art” and clearing the cache but that does nothing. Yet after a rescan of the drive, Volumio always puts it back under the Jazz genre. It DID at one time, but it was deleted and every trace of it wiped clean. I know that sounds bizarre, but to give an example, my Volumio library under the “Jazz” genre, shows a list of files for an album of something like “Oscar Peterson Plays Montovani”, but that album doesn’t exist on the SSD. It’s also finding entire albums (with multiple tracks) that don’t exist anywhere on the SSD. The file where this single album art file doesn’t even exist anymore as I deleted the track and associated cover.jpg file associated with it, yet Volumio still continues to find and use it. When it indexes the library for this one genre (Chillout), it pulls a single cover art image for every artist in “album” and “artist” view, but shows the correct album art when a track is playing… again, only in this one genre. I scanned the entire drive multiple times and there’s no duplicates anywhere. It’s also loading duplicate files of songs in only a single genre (Chillout). Each time, it finds genres that simply don’t exist anywhere in my library. ![]() I’ve had the second install of Volumio scan the SSD drive multiple times. It took me two weeks, but after 15 years, I FINALLY have a complete and accurate library. Each genre is correct each artists is in its own folder with a single cover art image (cover.jpg) any other instance of a cover art file was deleted each track is numbered accurately any files that contain no data were deleted duplicate tracks were deleted I used Bliss to ensure that all the files were compliant. I used MP3TAG to go through each and every MP3 file in my 21,000 sound library. However, with this second install (all my settings are exactly the same as the previous, which didn’t exhibit these issues), I’m seeing some genres showing up that are no longer present anywhere on the SSD drive that’s attached to the PI. During the install, I installed the Raspberry Pi 7” touchscreen plugin as well as the plugins for Spotify and Pandora. Had to flash a new drive and start all over. It’s fantastic! However, my first install and operation of the latest version of Volumio failed due to a bad Micro-SD card. ![]() Volumio is the absolute answer to my desire for having a music server in the house after years of trying to find one that served all my needs.
