hi ben!

i am starting to see similar things (described in sequence of events):

1. my GF recently copied her itunes lib from her ibook to my windows
Slimserver 6.5.3.

2. rescan for new and changed -> 1 album and 5 tracks in library! :-(

3. noticed the itunes DB had been copied as well in to Slimserver's
music repository. deleted it. rescanned -> 900 artists + 6500 tracks.
oof! fixed. :-) or so it seemed...

4. now it seems some albums show up 5x, 6x, up to 10x! :-( however, ALL
of them are compilations of some sort.

5. discovered that iTunes arranged the tracks like this:
\artist\album\track.mp3
re-organizing in to a "flat" directory hierarchy solves the problem ->
albums so reorganized only show once.
but that is not an option for us because it is too much work and the
filenames are not complete.
(tagging is fine, though)

is it possible that albums showing twice for you are also
compilations?

if yes, we may have a common problem. i will post a similar but
separate thread on this elsewhere since i was seeing this even before
we copied iTunes (just not nearly as much as now).
