There have been several issues reported with tags not being picked up
properly in the new version of slimserver.

With a fairly substantial library (43000 tracks) I was disappointed to
find that many of the tracks had disappeared to "Web" or "MP3's" which
were the subdirectories that I had assigned for my music.

Previously I know 6.3 was working so I reverted to that only to find
the same issue. Having worked my way through iTunes, Musicmatch and
Windows Media Player (all showing the correct tags) I decided to rever
to an even earlier version 6.0.1.

Despite removing all traces of slimserver the same problem occured. 

In my desperation I remapped a H:\web\mp3's as Z:\MP3's (I tried) to
map it completely but you can't scan only a drive. Anyway so this meant
that I could see if the artists all changed from Web to MP3's however it
was even better than I expected - all tags were fine.

Next move is to move back through the upgrades and see if and when it
plays up. If you have this problem I suggest in the interim you move
the directory closer to the root or if this is not ideal share and map
the drive so you only have one sub-directory to your music. I will keep
you posted on whether this fixes the problem in later releases.

I guess if this does it probably needs to be fixed by someone but as a
casual user I am not sure how this works hopefully someone can pick
this up and see where the problem lies.

It has taken a couple of days but at last it seems like I am making
progress.

Still the best music steaming system out there even with these little
trials keep up the good work.
