CDpedia - Linked Tracks With Accents Won't Play
Posted: Sat Feb 27, 2016 7:38 pm
CDpedia 5.4.2
I have look in this forum but did not find any reports on this issue.
I have a lot of album from French artists and I have noticed that when I click on a linked track that has a title with an accent in the Details view, it will not play in iTunes. Since you might not own french albums, I think I found a way that you can test this. Not 100% sure that it will work though.
1. Launch Finder.
2. Go to /Users/<username>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music
3. In the Music folder create a folder called Album Test as the artist name.
4. Go into the Album Test folder and create a folder called Music Album as the album name.
5. Populate the Music Album folder with copies of 6 M4A files from your iTunes collection (preferably from the same album).
6. Launch iTunes and click on File -> Add to Library...
7. Add the 6 music files in /Users/<username>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Album Test/Music Album
8. Find the newly added 6 track album in iTunes then rename the artist to Album Test and rename the album title to Music Album.
9. In iTunes, rename each track with the following track names.
Perdus dans le même décor
Tes manières m'intriguent
Zola à vélo
À toutes les fois
Où est passée la noce?
Harmonie du soir à Châteauguay
10. Launch CDpedia and add this newly created album the Library.
If this worked, you should have an album with the 6 tracks linked to to the files in iTunes.
At this point you should be able to click on any of the tracks in the Details view but they should not play even though they appears to be linked to the iTunes files.
Let me know if you can reproduce this.
