OK, very awkward thread title. Maybe not the best place to seek this help, but thought I would try.
I download a lot of music to my phone to play on the go. I usually use the Google Play Music App, whatever it is called to play it back. I have also used the Amazon music app as well. Problem seems the same regardless of which App I use.
The issue I am trying to solve is that the app does not always recognize shows as being distinct from each other. It usually does when I download them from live music archive, which i do using the Vibe Vault frontend app. Not so when I have downloaded shows from panicstreams on my computer and placed them on my phone. Which I did for a lot of my Lockn streams from last year. So I can't listen just to the Widespread Winwood show, because the app has it all confused with the Phil and Friends show and one other show (can't remember which one). It also does not recognize some artists names at all, so I have a whole bunch of shows that are labeled--unknown artist that I have to select just by date (and I can't always remember which artist is which)
The shows are all in their own discrete folders on the SD card and labeled by artist. If, as there commonly is, there is a small word? file w/ the date and setlist I have tried to download that as well and I think I have all of these. It seems (though I have not tested extensively) that when it is mixing up shows it is mixing up shows from the same date.
So my question is what is the file (or other trigger) by which the App recognizes both the artist and date? How do I relabel them so that it sorts them correctly?
