Hrrm that may actually be a semi-clue. Whenever Slimserver notices a file changed, it updates the database (not well, which is why I do a clear-and-rescan every night in the middle of the night...). Ie, if you change the tags on a track, then click it in the WebUI or play it on the player, the database gets updated with the changed tags.
So it sounds like Slimserver (as opposed to the scanner) is somehow seeing "Oh, this file changed, let me update my database" when you do that.... the 'why' is still a mystery, but since you deal with databases all day you know computers are predictable and only follow instructions, so the instructions or data are wrong somehow... If you've changed stuff in the database, then, yes, it will change back whenever one of the changed tracks is encountered. The trick then is trying to figure out why it is seeing those two albums differently than other similarly titled discs... I don't know what tools Windows has to "really" look at tags. On Linux I use eyeD3 which can be coerced to display all id3 tags. Is there a way to see if you have the TCMP tag set? That is non-standard, "but itunes uses it!" and implies "this is a various artists releases" which may confuse Slimserver on single artist releases with the same name... -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37135 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
