getting reports of Wipe Cache messing up the song database

I've gotten 3-4 reports of this so far this week. What sort of information should I be trying to get?
i'm seeing this now too... i did a wipe cache and now: - mc chris "life's a bitch and i'm her pimp" shows up as "Like Swimming" - morphine's "Like Swimming" comes up as "Body of Evidence" - patricia cornwell reading body of evidence comes up as "In the Flesh (Live)" - browsing to "life's a bitch and i'm her pimp" comes up with a manu chau song someone sent me for an album artwork bug things are just all crossed all over the database. a real mess.
Don't know if this info helps, but: My setup OS - MS Win 2000 Slimserver V6.0.0 Music folder structure - no iTunes - structure is \GENRE\ARTIST\ALBUM (YEAR) \TRACKNUM - TITLE Separate tracks encoded as FLAC mostly with FLAC tags, some albums also have cue sheets (but this doesn't seem to affect things one way or the other). Following a wipe cache (and sucessive wipes/rescans as well to try and fix) Symptoms 1. Browse Album list on web interface is not presented in alphabetical order 2. Some album titles duplicated as ALBUM and also as ALBUM (YEAR) with different contents 3. Tracks shown as within albums are often in fact from different albums / artists 4. Browse Artists is presented in alphabetical order, but many artists have wrong album names assigned to their tracks. 5. Wrongly assigned tracks will not play 6. Browse Music Folder works fine - I think, but cannot be sure, that the TRACK to ARTIST assignation is correct, but the ALBUM assignment is where it's getting screwed. - have checked and original tags in FLAC files are intact and correct
cmrich - Can you try the latest nightly build? I checked in some changes which might fix this - although I've been unable to reproduce it myself.
Dan, I've now installed the 2nd April nightly from the 6.0.1 tree and it seems to have sorted out the major problem I was seeing thanks. I'm still seeing a couple of duplicate (but slightly different) album names appearing - but I suspect this might be due to a conflict between the FLAC tags and the CUE sheet info - i.e. my problem! Thanks - Chris
Great! I'm going to mark this bug as closed - please reopen it if you see it again.
