I am new to SB and started scanning my library - which is in itunes but tags are really okay.

I used the official build and also the nightly build of 8.8.2011 (SqueezeboxServer-7.6.1-33011.exe)

I realized that when scanning with the "use itunes" function some albums are available twice - some songs are in the "first" - some in the "second" album - and only the first one has cover art.

I checked the path (in the SB and the sqlite database and in the itunes XML file):

In iTunes xml the correct path is shown for all songs of that album: file:\\\....\50%20WAYS%20OST\blablabla.mp3

In SB some are as above but some are file:\\\...\50WAYS~1\018DD5~1.mp3

With this SB thinks of two folders - but the folders are the same - just shortened by Windows(?). This mainly happens with Unicode file names (East Asian) where the full file name with path gets quite long.

Interestingly: When I just scan the files (without iTunes) then the problem does not exist. Which is a solution - but not too comfortable when using playlists.

I sincerely hope that this was not reported before - at least I did not find it!

Thanks!
