I've been getting an odd problem, so I'm sharing it here to see if
anyone can shed any light on it.

Aha - this appears to be very similar to bug 5067, except it relates to
a USB hard drive. The server finds the files are not present when
asked to play them so removes them from the database...

From time to time I notice that Slimserver is adding albums. On
investigation it seems that albums are being split, with some tracks
being in one instance of the album, and the rest (usually just one
track) being in another.
A delete and re-scan usually sorts it out, but this is a pain.

No idea. You might want to give a bit more information

Does every track show up twice or are tracks split into two albums?

Yuo need to move all compilation tracks into the same directory.
Slimserver can't just group songs with the same album name together,
otherwise it would treat albums with the same name but by different

Yes, you have to relocate them. There were some considerable changes in

names.
Slimserver now only treats albums as compilations if they have
different artists and the files are in the same directory.

You do. The source code is perl, and is installed whenever you

it is a packaged executable

More recent reports include the change number from svn that implements
