Anyway, >glad it's fixed. > I believe that the Squeezebox Server scanner strips out punctuation from artist name tags to create a version of the name used for searching and uniqueness matching, rather than the artist name. So where the artist name differs only in diacritic characters or punctuation, these names are seen as the same, an one version of the artist name is taken as the name to report in the application. I think it's the first version of the artist name tag that is scanned that is used in the music library (and each time you rescan the library, you could get a different result as it could pick a different order to process files). You cannot correct tags and scan for new/changed files - the only way to fix it is the painfull process of finding the difference in tags, fix, and then do a full clean+rescan.
You may want to add your feelings to bug 10324 (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10324) and vote, or create a new bug (this bug was about diacritics, but the same seems to apply to punctuation too). >While checking the logs it looks like there is another issue though.
