If you have two such versions of the artist, it depends which one was scanned first/last as to what you can expect to see reported against songs. If you change one of the tags to be the same as the other, the scanner won't detect the change in your tags, so you have to do a full clear and rescan to pick the change up. I raised bug 10324 (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10324), as I thought this was very inconsistent behaviour. It's hard for a user to find and fix incorrect tags, if the software is not consistent in how it treats tag data. I think Jose Gonzalez and José Gonzaléz should be treated as two different artists. It's then obvious when a song is incorrectly tagged, as two artists will be displayed, and one can be fixed using a tag editor. It would also then have deterministic behaviour, in that every time a full scan is done, the database content would be the same. At the moment, it results in one artist record, but the name displayed for that artist depends on what order the songs are scanned in. Unfortunately, the bug was resolved as "Won't Fix". I think the developer didn't really understand my bug report, or thought it was too hard to fix, and it got fobbed off as "your tags are incorrect, fix them". Whilst I totally agree, and have fixed the artist name to be consistent and rescanned my whole library, it makes the job of detecting bad tags and fixing the library very hard/time consuming, and inconsistent/non-determinable.
