Hi all,
i have downloaded some music files in wav format from an online provider. Each genre is in its own folder. I have placed these folders into a parent folder on my PC, and told my MMS 5a that this is a network content location.

The MMS has duly copied these files into its internal storage however when browsing the library I note that the tracks are listed singly under an album name matching the child folder name, i.e. The album is listed multiple times and each instance only contains 1 track!

Obviously I would prefer the album listed once and all the tracks contained under that one album listing.

Any idea how I do that?
What do you mean you wanted it on the other wall - couldn't you have mentioned this when we prewired?

Full disclosure: I'm not a MMS-5a user.

Note that there is no standard format for WAV track TAGS. You'll need to figure out how MMS-5a wants its WAV files tagged. In my opinion a better solution would be to transcode the files into a modern lossless format and insert proper TAGS. Many of the current music library management programs can fetch TAGS from online sources without much fuss.
