Hello!

We're importing a lot of music into our new build database, all coming from 
.wav files from which the tags cannot be read by Rivendell (as far as we know). 
Luckily most files are properly named. But (and here comes the problem) while 
importing files from console using rdimport with metadata pattern "%a- %t.wav" 
pattern matching seems to stop at a dash (-) or dot (.).

"A-Ha - Take on me.wav" becomes artist "A" with title ""
"Bruce Springsteen - Born in the U.S.A..wav" becomes artist "Bruce 
Springsteen" with "Born in the U"

Is this a bug in Rivendell or are we doing something wrong?

Also, cart titles must be unique.  Now we're playing the song "Crazy" by 
Gnarls Barkley, but also by Seal.  Rivendell suggests we name one "Crazy 
[1]", but this seems a bit... strange?  I would think that a combination 
of artist + title must be unique would make more sense.  Do you have 
some advice for this case?

Also, if we name one of them "Crazy [1]", will the [1] bit be reported 
for now/next statistics?


As far as I know, at least one of you guys rocks and recognises the problem or 
can help us a step ahead. I must say that I'm quite new to this open source 
society and I really love the way everyone is helping one another. And since we 
are developing Rivendell in our own unique manner, I do hope to be helpful 
someday as well!


Kind Regards,


Peter van Embden.
