Select complete albums to save

So I have initially added 96,000 files to MBP and about 100 complete albums were identified initially. Out of a list with several thousand albums. How do I select only the gold disks to save. Other than going through the list and CNTRL select EACH ALBUM individually.

Also. Could I request they someone move the Remove from being immediately under the save option.

Thanks…

Firstly: It’s never a good idea to load a big collection in to Picard all at once. Work in stages, a set of folders/artists/albums at a time. And please back up files before trying out ‘save’ for the first time, or when changing settings.

Secondly: Are you using cluster + lookup? This will keep your albums together, assuming you have a decent ‘album’ tag on most of them. Scan is a last resort (it does not maintain clusters), and will often end up splitting your albums, as you’ve found.

I wouldn’t trust hitting ‘save’ on complete albums pieced together from a big library, using scan. Start over, and start small :+1:

Hi I understand you are suggesting (strongly) a different option. Does this mean there is no way to save the gold albums other than selecting them one at a time?

Not that I know of sorry. There’s a plugin that removes completed gold albums, but nothing the other way round.

Other people have requested this functionality as well, I add a possible mockup to the ticket:

If you do hit save on those gold albums, make sure to double check 'em first!
