Album images trade places...

Lately, i've been noticing that some albums have the wrong images, namely those belonging to other albums in my list.
I have a strong feeling that it's another case of "foreign character frenzy", since this occurs after the horrible album "Spæll åt mæ" by Hans Rotmo. ;)

All my images are encoded in the id3tags, so it is not a problem with the lookup feature. I just did a rebuild, and it's quite messed up. Every sixth album following the "Spæll åt mæ", seem to have the wrong cover now. I renamed it and refreshed the list; still the same. Right now i am rebuilding, to see if that will make the difference.

Maybe it's some kind of punishment for getting his lame music? :)

Nah, just kidding. You have enough available diskspace on your C: drive? I have experienced quite "interesting" results after rebuilding without enough space available space on the C: drive to hold the images.. Covers get mixed up and such. Strange that it only happens after that album though. Makes character issues quite plausible. Those are quite a lot weird norwegian chars for ej to handle at once :D

Did things turn out better after a new rebuild then? I hope you'll figure it out :)

Yeah! After renaming the album to the even more gruesom title "Spaell aat mae", everything is working like a charm.

Strange, because i do have an album named "Jøkleba!", which doesn't seem to cause any damage at all. But then again, that is good music. :P

Fishy, yes I knew that ripping that "Spæll åt mæ" album would be a action filling me with remorse one day.. yet i thought it would be due to listening to the album ;)

Maybe ej in some way tried to warn you before you actually got to listen to it? :) Concider it as a first warning, and throw it out of your database as soon as possible. There is no gain in challenging your destiny. You're not *supposed* to listen to that album.. Maybe your entire albumcollection will suffer if you keep it in there. Give it a thought, it's just not worth it :D

Hmm, but it only fixed a part of the problem. after all. I see that after Jimmy Giuffre 3's album "1961" the problem begings again. :(

And i found something strange, there are some artists who do not have album covers displayed at all, only names... and these are the very same artists whose covers are misplaced!

Here's a screenshot of some of the artists who have sent out their albums to invade other artists's productions.

And here you can see the the very same artists' album taking over other artists' productions. The first John Mayall album has the cover from Kim Hiorthøy's album "Melke", and you can also recognize the famous King Crimson cover from "The court of the Crimson king" strategically placing itself between the two other John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers' albums.
