it would only take one track to have "The Pixies" for this to happen ... if that is the first track that the slimserver scanner sees.
it will strip "the" as per config options (the/la/el/os)add "pixies" to the contributors table but crucially add "the pixies" as namesearch. all the other files will be added to this contributor id (pixies=pixies), so the upshot, you will see all the other tracks as being listed as "the pixies" even if their respective tags vehemently insist otherwise. the real problem is to find that one album or track that is causing the issue .... i'd suggest using something like mp3tag, point it at your pixies folder, check and retag artist and/or band tags --- what about tag versions? are their maybe different types of tags in the same files, different versions of id3 or something like that, mp3tag can be told to strip out redundant or duplicate tags (ape or older id3 tags), most of my files are wma, but any mp3 are stripped off anything except id3v2.3 utf16 - just to keep everything consistent, i find this helps a lot. once you find the rogue tag, a full slimserver re-scan ... you'll be sorted. i know, i had the very same problem with my pixies albums. -- davidC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ davidC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3861 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34997 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
