I have been running 6.0 nightlies every few days trying to cure a
problem I had with more than 200 of my tracks getting assigned under "No
Artist and "No Album" in the web interface and on the SB1 itself.
Tonight I installed 6.1.0 from 04-06 and wiped the sql.db then did a
rescan. I took a look at the result and thought I had got it licked as
there was no more "No Artist" BUT then I saw that under Browse Artist
the usual ABCDE... index at the top now read B A L J B C I C B A C A H
K M L H J D K M J P C B J M D C L S L T M K F J B R C S C A D B C B C E
J M C A C R S T A C A N A D A B D B C B J E B C D J D J E J E F J F G J
G H J I J K J L J D J M J K C K L M N S M P M A N O R O P S P R B R S E
T V W Y. On closer investigation it turned out that many listings
(possibly all but I haven't looked at the whole lot yet) had artists
names switched around. Example - Under the artist entry for John
Coltrane in the Browse Artist page I found "John Coltrane - Magnificat
from Te Deum", the secomd half of this pairing being an album by Arvo
Part. No actual Coltrane albums were listed under his name.
Looking at it again it seems that the albums are actually sorted as if
the artists names were correct but just with seemingly random change of
the artist name. The B A L J B C I C B A C A H K M L H J.. etc at the
top of the list reflects the sequence of the initial letters of the
false names.
I recall seeing somebody else with a similar problem a few days ago but
thought that this was now in the "fixed, download the latest nightly"
category.
System is Mandrake 10.1 on a 2.8GHz pentium using 6.1.0 from 04-06.
