[SOLVED] Different versions of the same album

[TheOldPresbyope]

@dastinger 

I got your zip file. It unzipped without error. The six tracks begin with the proper magic number fLaC (so no errant ID3v2 tag). They each passed the flac utility (e.g., for the last track "06 Bill Evans Trio - Milestones.flac: ok")

The FLAC metadata look ok. Example

Code:

rho@mpi4b:/mnt/SDCARD/Waltz For Debby [LP SMJ-6118] $ metaflac --list --block-type=VORBIS_COMMENT,PICTURE 06*

As you can see, I unzipped to the SDCARD on one of my players. The "update this folder" ran without issue on folder SDCARD and the coverart shows up in all views (along with my other Bill Evans albums, notably "Sunday at the Village Vanguard", possibly my favorite live recording) and the tracks play fine.

I'm stumped.
