I tried this version but so far it's not cooperating. Probably it's mostly me but I now understand I have one more requirement that the Gnome version handles but I don't see an option in the KDE version. Most of the tracks were ripped over the last couple of years using KDE which prepends a track number on the file name 01_Track1Name.flac 02_Track2Name.flac I'd like to remove the track numbers but I don't see a way to do this yet. The Gnome version has that feature but crashes when given more than a single album. too bad.... - Mark
