Description Paul Holthuizen 2005-04-28 07:01:25 UTC

In the web interface, browsing for an artist, selecting an album and pressing
play to move the album to the play list:

If the artist name contains a character like : Bl�f, when it ends up in the
playlist (right side of the web interface) it gets repeated a couple of times.
In case of Bl�f it gets repeated 3 times:

1. Laten we gaan dan from Helder by Bl�f Bl�f Bl�f 

In case of Blue �yster Cult it gets repeated two times : 

17. (Don't Fear) The Reaper from Rock Hits by Blue �yster Cult Blue �yster Cult

you will get this if the tags have the artist in many fields as well.  ie:
artist, band, composer, etc.  check the songinfo page for those tracks.

Comment 2 Paul Holthuizen 2005-04-28 13:30:56 UTC

That is not the case here. The artist name is only mentioned (once) in the
ARTIST tag; there are no composer or band tags afaics (as reported by MP3TAG,
Foobar and MusicMagicMixer). In Slims' Songinfo however the artist name is also
mentioned 3 times after the 'Artist:' heading.

what happens if you wipe cache and let it rescan with just a music folder in
server settings?  same for no folder and just musicmagic?

that might help determine which source is providing the wrong info.
