I'm assuming you're a PC user running W10, if so, try this:

I'm on a laptop with Windows 7 but I will look into This, cheers.
I just Googled it, appears to be the same fix for W7, W8 & W10. Hope it works for you.
Cheers man, I got it working. Much appreciated.
You're welcome, glad to hear it solved it for you. Now the bigger mystery.....how did it vanish in the first place? :huh:
It's a mystery!

To any VLC boffins out there, I've been mixing and matching Rat Patrol tracks and when i drop them in VLC they automatically group themselves based on which mix they are from. Even after I change the metadata there doesn't seem to be any change here. Does anyone know how to get VLC to think that all the tracks are from the same album and place them in order?

I've never used VLC, but are you changing the metadata in it? Can you not change it in something else first?

The stuff I'm reading says that changing the metadata within VLC should be enough, but it doesn't seem to be taking for some reason. Do you know another way to change metadata for a FLAC file?

I use mp3tag, free program

Assuming you're a Mac guy, I use xACT for FLAC stuff. It does have a tagging option.

+1 for MP3tag here as well. In fact, just got an update today. Great, program, ad free too.

Either my search terms are wrong or this doesn't exist, so I'll ask here. I'm looking for a power adapter brick for a Macbook Air but with more than one usb-c port on it, so a person could simultaneously charge two laptops or phones or tablets or whatever. When I find ones with multiple ports, it's only one usb-c. Anyone have better search skills than me or know that such a beast just doesn't exist?

edit: Never mind. I've finally located one.

I think this may be what you're looking for, but I can't seem to get the link to Amazon.com to work, it doesn't appear in this post, even after editing, but here are a couple of screen captures.

I think this may be what you're looking for, but it's kind of pricey.

I found one for CAN$50 with two usb-c ports that handles up to 100W, so it'll do two simultaneously quite nicely.

Yeah, I completely missed your updated edit, glad you found one that will work for you.
