Name Conflict

Conflicts of names appear when you save objects with the same names to a collection. Exceptions are albums and tracks. In this case object names can be the same, but values of at least one of the following properties must be different:

For albums

• Artist name
• Name
• Release year
• Comment
  

In other words: one artist shouldn't have two albums with identical names, release year and the same comments.

For tracks

• Artist name
• Album name
• Album release year
• Comment for an album
• Track number
• Track name
  

In other words: one album shouldn't have two tracks with identical names and identical numbers.

Name conflict editor

Name conflict editor displays information about all conflicts appeared at the moment of saving information from Media Scanner. This window is intended for detailed displaying and editing these conflicts.

The list of conflicts displays in the upper part of the window. It consists of three columns:

• Attribute of conflict criticality: – critical, – noncritical
• Sign displayed what objects are in the conflict:
  • Albums
  • Tracks
• Brief description of the conflict
  

Detailed information about selected conflict displays at the bottom of the window.

To solve a conflict, use functions available through its context menu or the menu of its details.

The process of saving can be resumed when critical conflicts are missing or solved.

Album Details window

This window displays the list of all album tracks which contains conflict tracks.

Conflict tracks from the list come with pictures:

Track is in a critical conflict

How the auto-correction of name conflicts works?

Auto-correction of album name conflicts

Melomania fills in the Comment field for each conflict album if it's empty, and uses the name of a medium which contains tracks of this album as a value for auto-correction. If the conflict is still unresolved, a number is added to the name of each conflict album to make conflict resolution completed.

Auto-correction of track name conflicts

A number is added to the name of each conflict track to make conflict resolution completed.
