Hello

I am new to this forum so please excuse me if this has been answered already.

I am having problems with track being overwritten in some specific instances.

Imagine that you are streaming a whole CD which may have a several "album version" tracks at the beginning, and perhaps a few bonus tracks (live, extended version, etc.) toward the end. From what I have seen, quite often those extra tracks are being mistaken for the "regular" tracks when ReplyMusic does automatic track identification and tagging.

The problem starts if the name of the track repeats, as the later tracks are overriding the files of the earlier (higher on the list) tracks. In essence you end up with an incomplete recording, that also needs manual reshuffling of track numbers.

Is there any way to still perform auto-identification AND force program to assign unique file names to every track ?

Hi Cheryl,

Is this something you are planning to fix in an updated version?

I have suffered with this issue and it is highly irratating. One album I recorded was missing about 10 tracks as they all got 'identified' as the same one. All it needs to do is detect existing files and not overwrite them, very simple to implement.

Kind Regards.
