I don't quite see it this way. 99% of problematic files are .ogg-files, pointing to flaws of LMS in dealing with this filetype. These files display perfectly fine in MusicBee or MediaMonkey, there's no problem whatsoever. In addition, I have zero problems with straightforward albums. It seems to me that LMS does not completely clear the library even if you do a full rescan and that many double or triple entries in LMS stem from the fact that the old compilations aren't deleted while they are added anew in their modified version. Also I find it hard to come up with a connection between messy tags and double entries in the library. you perceived my connection as messy because these are the files I have problems with. Its mostly files I collected several years ago and left to rest in a hidden chamber on my hard disk. However, I think its a very good idea to remove these ID3v1 tags. As of now, I have organised compilations as AlbumArtist=Various because it works with the players I use so I don't think I'll do away with it. But I have gotten rid of a lot of compilations which I did not have in full. Compilations are only precious, I thought, if you perceive them as compilations and wish to listen to them in total (which is not the case with, say, '1999 Indie Top Twenty' from which you ripped 12 songs only anyway). I have gotten rid of them by writing the artist into the album artist. PS.
