Hi all,

So, something weird is going on.  My MP3/AAC library (managed in
iTunes) has 1655 songs, but SlimServer is reporting 1878 songs.  The
duplicates are *really* duplicated, i.e. the song URL is identical as
shown on the SongInfo page.

I've tried trashing both the slimserverdb.sql *and* the "iTunes Music
Library.xml" files, and even rebuilding the entire iTunes library from
scratch.  Neither one helped.

I've narrowed down the duplicates to songs that have apostrophes in
their titles (e.g. "Everybody's Changing" or "Boys Don't Cry").  For
whatever reason, Slimserver is counting and cataloging *ALL* of those
songs TWICE... they are listed twice in the song listings, so they end
up playing twice as well.

The really weird thing is, I'm running the exact same version of SS on
a different computer (with my ALAC library) and this bug does *NOT*
happen there!  My preferences are identical though.

On the affected computer, I'm running SS 6.2.2 (build 7135 [release]),
MacOS X 10.3.9, iTunes 4.7.1, QuickTime 6.5.  On the NON-affected
computer, I'm running the same SS version, the same OS X version, but
iTunes 6.0.4 and QuickTime 7.0.4.

Could SS have some incompatibility with the older version of iTunes and
not the newer one?  Note that iTunes *DOES* report the correct number of
songs in all cases... it's ONLY SlimServer that reports dupes, and
trashing both the iTunes and SS files is of no help.  This is a totally
reproducible bug.

I can provide screenshots if needed... but any help would be greatly
appreciated!
