I'll try to explain where I have been.  I've been using my Squeezebox 3
since its introduction and have successfully been ripping and using it.
I've ripped about 450 CD's over the past couple of years using CDex and
FLAC Frontend.  I have not seen any problems at all, until moving from
6.3.X to 7.1 last week, though I have no reason to think this is the
cause, it may not be.  After rescanning I end up with many scrambled
tags.  It is as if database pointers are mixed up.

What the screen shot shows is a Pat Benetar Greatest Hits album, with
only tracks 5,7,5,8,9,17,20 included.  Listed after Album Artist is
"Pat Benetar, Guns N' Roses".  After Track Artist I find the same.

The rest of the tunes are spread among several other versions of the
album when I look at the Artist - Pat Benetar.

I also find "Pat Benetar, Guns N' Roses" spread throughout the tag data
for many albums regardless of artist.  Actually, there are several other
relatively minor examples of things being imixed up, but Pat and Guns N'
Roses is the most common for some reason.

Last night, I used mp3tag to export the tags to just have a look in
Excel. There seems to be a random sample of maybe 50 albums where the
first two tracks have been corrupted by Title and Artist tags from Guns
N'Roses.  The next X tracks have been been corrupted by Pat Benetar. 
Interestingly, when this happens the last two tracks of the effected
albums are alwasy correct, regardless of the total number of tunes.

As I said there are a couple of other similar problems involving mixed
tags.

Nuts.

I think maybe my next step is to bread the data into manageable chunks,
export tags, correct tags in Excel, save to a delimited file, and reload
usint Text File to Tag function.

What do yhou think?

Perhaps I should go back to 6.3.1?
