Problems with album names
I have gone through all my albums and corrected all the id tags...
There are still a few problems...Take this example...
Dave Matthews Band - Lillywhite Session
Both Winamp, Dr. Tag, Tag&Rename show that the album name is Lillywhite Session for all of the tracks. Have gone through and made sure they are
correct.
When I load the album in eJukebox, most of the songs show up correctly, but a few show up as Lillywhite Session (unreleased).
The tags are updated for both id3v1 and v2...
I know I can edit it, but it happens with a few albums and I can't figure out why its happening. All the tag are the way they should...
Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

50 cent - Get Rich or Die Trying shows up as 50 cent - Get Rich or Die Trying shows up (bootlegged)
DMB - Live at Luther College shows the artist being Dave Matthews Band & Tim Reynolds (well aware both of them are part of the concert, but prefer
the songs to only include DMB) even though all tags show Dave Matthews Band being the only artist.
Does eJ go by any different tags as well or?

3 or 4 tracks out of my 4000 mp3s exhibit the same behaviour. No idea why.
Off hand I can remember that They Might Be Giants "Purple Toupee" always imports into eJukebox as being on the album "Then (Disk
2)", however it's tagged as the album "Lincoln". Album image comes in correct, just the album name is wrong.

What may be happening is that previous looked up album names are being restored to eJukebox during rebuilding instead of using the new album ID3 tag
data, when the album ID3 tag is modified outside of the ejukebox editor.
We are looking into this issue.
Do the effected songs have ID3 images embedded in the ID3 tag using Dr. Tag/Tag & Rename?
Currently, you can disable old looked up album names from being restored during rebuilding by checking the "Do no restore old album cover
data" option on the eJukebox database manager.

All of the effected songs have images attached...
Added that this weekend.
But I had the same problem before I went through all my mp3s.
Last night I unchecked Compilation on four of my albums (since I didn't want them on top and wanted them all together).
I rebuilt the whole database from scratch this morning in hope that it would fix the album name problem. To my suprise, the four albums I unchecked
Compilation (and showed up as being normal albums last night), now appears on top again with the compilation option checked.

We should have this fixed for v3.0.
Do the albums you unchecked "compilation" on have the word "various" in the artist name?
If they do that explains why they were remarked as compilations after rebuilding... as eJukebox sets albums with the word "various" in the
artist name as compilations on database building.

Sounds good
3 out of the 4 does have Various Artists. The 4th one is Soundtrack of our lives - Behind the Music
I installed beta 2 a few minutes ago, and approximately 15-20 albums show up without cover image now, even though it worked fine in beta 1 and images
still show up in tag&rename and dr.tag

Do you think the incorrect album names that are showing up could be previous eJukebox looked up album names for that song?
When you rebuilt the database this morning did you check the option ""Do no restore old album cover data"?
Also when you say ''15-20 albums show up without cover image now" ....what shows up? a blank white cover? Does eJukebox attempt to
lookup covers for these songs? or are you referring to the albums not showing up in the album list only?

It just shows up with the Album name in the box. No blank cover or anything.
I don't really know...
In the case of 50 cent, it adds the word bootleg to the album, while in the Dave Matthews Band album, half show up fine and half have unreleased added
on.
Does eJukebox download album names from the net, or how does it work?

What happens when you play a song from one of these albums? Does it show the album image under now playing? Does it attempt to lookup an image? Are
you sure these 15-20 albums actually have images embedded in the ID3 tag and you can see the images in tag & rename?
--
If it added "bootleg" then that was infact an old looked up album name. The word "bootleg" only appears in the album name in
eJukebox and not in the ID3 tag in Tag&Rename, correct? And that song has an ID3 embedded image now, correct?

I fixed the album images. Redid and it worked fine
If I make an album an compilation, will it be unchecked if i redo the database? or does it only alter that option when the artist is Various
Artists?
Yep, the album with bootleg has an id3 embedded image, the word bootleg doesn't show up anywhere in the tag in either Tag&Rename, Dr.Tag or
Winamp

I want my Soundtracks to be compilations, but is there no way to have them appear with the rest of my albums and not separated on top?
If I don't add compilation, most of albums won't show all the songs when I try to open it. So that's out of the question.

Tons of example of the id3 tags...
Panjabi MC - Murdian To Back Ke shows up being apart of The Rough Guide to Bhanga in eJukebox, while there is no v1 or v2 tag indicating that the song
belongs to any album
This is a single and not part of any album, and doesn't have any image embedded into the tag.
There are at least 20 similar singles under Newest Songs, even though I have removed all Album names from my single track.

We have corrected songs getting incorrect album names after rebuilding under v3.0.
Rebuild your database under the v3.0 final (which will be released very soon) to get the correct album names from the ID3 tags in eJukebox.
jacoblo33,
If your song does not have an ID3 album name eJukebox will attempt to lookup one which is what is causing your singles to recieve album names. This is
not a bug. If an album image is found for a song...that image (and album name if the song does not have an ID3 album name) will be used after
rebuilding. The only thing we may do in the future for this is add an button on the editor to clear the album image and name to make it stay a single.
