Hello,

I've noticed an interesting - uhh - side effect of the MusicBrainz
library. At least I think that is what is at fault. As you all know
meta data for Vorbis files currently is not read. All of my Vorbis
files should show up under "Uncategorized Tracks". Surprisingly that
is not the case.

I've suddenly discovered that I have tracks from albums and artists
that I have never even heard of before. One easy example is my
Braveheart soundtrack. I found track 17 "Freedom/The
Execution/Bannockburn" listed as track 17 from the "Gladiator" sound
track. When I view the info it points to the correct ogg file on disk
(for Braveheart), but lists all info for Gladiator. I've found this
same occurence with many of my other ogg tracks.

Looking at the files it appears that the "phantom" tracks are all the
same track number (on the CD) as the real track numbers. Furthermore
either the titles are the same in both cases or else the fingerprints
must be pretty darn close.

As I am not a developer I can only report the symptoms not solutions.
I find this pretty amusing, however.

"What Happens When Tech Goes Amuck!"

Anyway, let me know if you need any help testing a fix to this
problem.

later,
joseph
