Not transferring albums, only individual files

[Gewitty]

I tried using VLC to transfer music albums from my Linux PC to an iPad today. To do this, I used the 'Sharing via WiFi' option and entered the IP address of the iPad in a browser on the PC which brought up the transfer page OK.

I selected an album from my music files and it transferred to the iPad with no problem. I repeated this with eight more albums and then something strange happened. When I tried to upload the next album, all the files appeared individually on the iPad, not as an album. This has happened with every attempt since.

So two questions: Why has VLC stopped transferring complete albums; and is there a better way to transfer music, other than via the Sharing via WiFi option?

If your media include metadata tags, VLC should actually group your albums automagically.
