Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] 7.5 embedded (nightlys) - Wrong album is added to favourites

Thanks. Could You have a look if You opened a bug so I could vote for it
or open a new one? Meanwhile I found - what is about Greatest Hits -
You can't add ANY other Greatest Hits-album if You add the ABBA-one
;)) So You're solution to take albumtitle AND albumartist sounds pretty
right.
Thanks
Frank

Oh, I forgot to mention that a work-around may be to create a playlist with 
your album in it, and then add the playlist as a favorite.  i.e. as long as the 
playlist name is unique, this should work fine.

[SlimDevices: Beta] 7.5 embedded (nightlys) - Wrong album is added to favourites

2010-02-26 Thread frank1969

Hi,

i just recognized that often a wrong album is added to favourites,
when you habve 2 or more album of the same name in your collection.

e.g:
I've got
album 1: album title 13 - artist: Ärzte
album 2: album title Die 13. - artist: Paveier

If I try to add album 2 to my favourites (no matter if I do it with
the WEB UI or by controller) - always unwanted album 1 is added
instead.

I think it depends on the same album title the dot . is ignored by
default and Die is ignored as german article (like the). So it adds
album 1 for the (artist) comes before in the alphabet.

Any way or trick to add album 2 to my favourites? Found no one (If I
changed album title to Die 13. (II) or Die 13. - Paveier it would
work - but this would not be useful to get correct ID3-tags...)

Thanks

Frank

It's a known issue, I'm pretty sure I've raised a bug (or commented on one) in 
the past (over a year ago at least).

In the past, favourites would store an id to the album record.  But, then 
following a clear and rescan, the id would be wrong, so the favourite was 
wrong.  This was changed so that the album title is stored in the favourite 
link (at least I thought it was title, it sounds like it is storing titlesort).

What it needs to do (and I think this was my comment on the bug report), is to 
store the album name and album contributor name.

That would still not be a full solution, as some people have multiple versions 
of the same album by the same artist (remastered versions, etc), and would 
likely fail on things like browsing to an artist and choosing No Album for 
that artist (because No Album is likely to be a compilation by Various Artists, 
it would pull in all songs on No Album, which would be different).

There's never going to be a full solution that will work 100% of the time.  eg. 
if an album name tag is corrected, after rescan, the album favourite won't 
match up.
