Albums with Multiple Artists
Many albums may include multiple artists such as soundtracks and greatest hits. These
albums metadata may need to be edited before being imported from the PC to the Fireball
depending on the software used to identify the album when ripped to the PC. In order for all
tracks within a single album with multiple artists to show up as a single album once imported,
you will need to format each track’s tag to
include identical artist and album information .
Here is an example:
Improperly Formatted:
Track Artist
Album Track Title
1 Janet Now That’s What I Call Music,
Volume 1 Together Again
2 Backstreet
Boys
Now That’s What I Call Music,
Volume 1 As Long As You Love Me
3 Fastball Now That’s What I Call Music,
Volume 1 The Way
Properly Formatted:
Track Artist
Album Track Title
1 Various
Artists
Now That’s What I Call Music,
Volume 1 Janet – Together Again
2 Various
Artists
Now That’s What I Call Music,
Volume 1 Backstreet Boys – As
Long As You Love Me
3 Various
Artists
Now That’s What I Call Music,
Volume 1 Fastball – The Way
Additional Naming Conventions
Unfortunately, WAV files do not contain a tag including metadata such as Artist, Album, Song
Title, and Genre like FLAC, MP3, and WMA files do. However, if you were to rename these
files using the following naming conventions, Fireball will be able to recognize this information
on import based on this filename structure.
<Artist> - <Album> - <Track #> - <Title> - <Genre>.wav
Example : The Eagles - Greatest Hits - 1 - Take It Easy - Rock.wav
