And I want obviously being seen as a boxset..but I want also each CD being recognized for title of their album title so when I play the CDs on my Cambridge Audio evo-150.
The Verve Years I or A Saucerful Of Secrets is shown as an album and not The Sound Of Lalo Schifrin: Original Soundtracks, Jazz And Pop Albums, Songs And Covers, 1955-2017 or Shine On respectively.
I hope my question make sense, I am new to MusicBrainz and I am still learning.
It is tricky to solve your question. It is really down to the player as to how they handle it.
Okay, read a bit more as to what a Cambridge Audio evo-150 is. You are out of luck. There is no simple answer. I assume the Cambridge Audio evo-150 will lookup a CD and not know it is from the boxset and match a DiscID to a separate Release. Many boxset are just individual releases boxed up together.
What does your Cambridge Audio evo-150 do when it gets multiple answers back for the disk? Something like Shine-On will give it (at least) two replies for each CD inserted. One the box set, and another the separate album.
It is down to the Cambridge Audio evo-150 to make a decision as to the match. It is matching on “Table of Contents” which in MusicBrainz language is DiscID. And DiscIDs are not unique to one release.
What really needs to happen is owners of the Cambridge Audio evo-150 need to nag Cambridge to allow a choice box to be popped up so you can multiple select scroll through the various matches that come back.
That person was getting artwork problems. Partially due to boxset confusions. As can be seen on that thread, there is no simple fix.
I wonder what the Cambridge Audio evo-150 does when it gets a 70MB PNG file as a cover image
Basically the player need a firmware update to give you more control over choice.
(Edit: I tweaked the tags on this forum post as this is not a Picard tagging question. It is a DiscID \ Table of Contents question specific to this model of CD player identifying CDs)
I want my EVO150 to to show me the CD name : The Verve Years I instead of The Sound of Lalo Schifrin: Original Soundtracks, Jazz and Pop Albums, Songs and Covers, 1955-2017, the box set name
or Showing : the CD name like A Saucerful of Secrets instead of the Box Set Name Shine On
There is no tagging here. These are not ripped files. This is the actual physical CD. The CD player reads a CD’s Table of Contents and then looks that up at MusicBrainz. It returns one of the discs it finds.
This is a CD player playing CDs and then uses MusicBrainz data to show track names, titles and artwork. (Handy Link to see how this works)
The problem is there seems to be no way on the CD Player’s GUI to choose to display Boxset or Separate Album.
Ultimately this is not possible without a change on the EVO150. Only the EVO150 can choose what it shows you.
I thought they would be a more straight forward solution but Thanks for the instructive answer.
I think I’ll write to Cambridge audio so they can implement the choice on the player ( hopefully )
There are a couple of things Cambridge can do. One is allow you to choose the Release the DiscID\Table of Contents matches. An alternate is to recognise and display the Disc Subtitles that appear on box sets.
