Was having a few problems with 'corrupt' tags.  Date tags in particular
were not being displayed, even though the MP3s were correctly tagged. 
Full rescan (from within web interface) didn't fix it so I took a
backup and then actually deleted the .sql file from the hard drive.

And now I see a dodgy tag and I can't figure out where it came from. 
In my defence, the MP3 is one of my wife's ;)  But the problem is so
irritating, I'm willing to brve the shame and embarrassment disclose
details of the offending MP3:

"Daniel Bedingfield - Gotta Get Thru This".

There is only 1 file on the server like this - it has the same
filename, except with a '.mp3' on the end.

Yet slimserver can see 2 tracks:

"Daniel Bedingfield - Gotta Get Thru This"
"Daniel Beddingfield - Gotta Get Thru This"

When I try to display track details of the "phantom" one, nothing is
there - e.g. slim can't tell me which file this bad data is coming
from.  I have checked the tags and ALL versions of ID3 tags are
synchronised - I can't find any bad data anywhere.  So where is
slimserver finding the bad data???

The data is good in MoodLogic interface, too - I had automaticaly
assumed ML was the cause, but it checked out fine.

Bear in mind that this is actually physically deleting the slim
database and rebuilding it from scratch - there should be no cache of
any sort (?)

How do I track this and/or remove this bad data from the slimserver??

Any help appreciated.  Cheers!
