You may have also shed some light on it. The installation I did this on
was not my main one where I'd made the database changes, but a virtual
PC installation using the built-in database. What has changed, however,
are the composer tags in my music files that I mentioned in my post
earlier today (

Whenever Slimserver notices a file changed, it updates the database
(not well, which is why I do a clear-and-rescan every night in the
middle of the night...). Ie, if you change the tags on a track, then
click it in the WebUI or play it on the player, the d

My thought was the tags, but I checked them over and over and
everything *seems* ok. Maybe there's some weird tags hidden from

I've just opened up my Slimserver version in VirtualPC to see exactly
what it does:
Very odd: since that is pretty much how I store mine and that should

No. I tested it by doing a fresh install of 6.5.4 in a virtual machine,
and letting it scan from scratch. The result was the same as my main
installation.
What I have done since is to add a new tag to all my trac
Did a full uninstall/reinstall solve the problems, DoomWolf?
