Bump on this one. There does not appear to be a
matching bug.
And a correction - it still does not work for me.
Nirvana, coincidentally, is the only artist who
I can get this working for. It's the only one
that provides an "All Songs" link which shows all
Nirvana songs. With other artists, I get one or
more "noalbumdata" links, which all point to
several hundred mismatched files.
