The punchline first: Suddenly, all of my tracks whose song titles contain an apostrophe have lost their TrackStat rating.
The details: Sometime after upgrading to SC 7.0 or 7.1 (sorry, not sure which), I noticed that a large number of my tracks lost their TrackStat rating. I have been accumulating ratings for a couple of years now. Not an extreme sized database: 925 albums with 16602 songs by 2656 artists. For the past few weeks, I have been trying to find some pattern to the disappearing ratings. Some albums lost ratings for just one track. Others lost several tracks, others were not affected at all. I checked the TrackStat backup xml file, and the tracks are there, with the rating. I tried restoring from backup. Tried removing all TrackStat data and restoring from backup. Upgraded all of Erland's plugins to the latest. Finally found the pattern in the song titles -- only those with apostrophes lost their rating. A couple of examples: On Tom Wait's Swordfishtrombones, only these songs lost their ratings: Soldier's Things Frank's Wild Year Trouble's Braids Los Angeles by X, only these lost their ratings: Your Phone's Off The Hook, But You're Not The World's A Mess, It's In My Kiss In both cases, I can verify that the stats are present in the TrackStat backup xml file. I've seen mention in the forums that some handling of special characters in the SC database has changed in either SCv7.0 or 7.1, but I have not heard of anyone having trouble with apostrophes. Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions on how to fix this? Currently running SC7.1 on WinXP, TrackStat 2.3. Most CD ripping done with iTunes under XP or OS X. Some AAC, some mp3. Same thing happens with downloaded flacs tagged by other people. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thx.
