Thanks for the response, but I don't think that's what is happening
here.  The album is not duplicated, the song title is.  In my example,
Footprints is on Miles Davis' album "Miles Smiles" and is also on Wayne
Shorter's album "Adams Apple", so I can't add an album called Footprints
to the 'Common Album Titles' section.   
Is Slimserver truly reading the MP3 tags or does it create it's music
database from the directory structure?
It is definitely a bug (IMHO) because when I view an artist, Slimserver
will show an album that is not by that artist, all because in that album
is a song title that also happens to be by the original artist. This is
wrong and does not happen on any other music software I use (including
portable music players).
