Resolved Issues / Top media panes discard Album Artist "XXX" if already listed as "The XXX"
« on: March 01, 2022, 10:35:46 AM »
My Left Hand top library pane displays a list by Album Artist. I had tagged a group as Album Artist "The Persuasions" but mistakenly tagged one album as Album Artist "Persuasions". The name "Persuasions" does not appear in Album Artist pane list AND its also not listed under "The Persuasions". It also does not appear in top Right Hand pane that lists the individual album names. However when I scroll down in the bottom pane that shows album tracks, the tracks on that album do appear.
I then did a search using ?albumartist begins "The " and discovered a similar problem with two other artists. However in those cases the reverse happened "Four Tops" appeared in the Album Artist and Album panes but not "The Four Tops".
From limited data, it appears that Wacup/Winamp is choosing the Album Artist name (whether its with "The" or without "The") from the album whose name is closest to the start of the alphabet and discarding the other option.
If my description isn't clear enough I will post screen shots.
