Mystery Album Artist on certain mp3

[Ftelf]

Asset 4.3 on clean windows 7 system (first installation).
I have certain mp3 collection, when all is handled properly by asset upnp but few albums which not.
I'm certain about the correctness of the tags, screenshoots provided, also files provided below.

This is only one example, the problem is slightly different on another files from the other badly behave files.
04.Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire (Feat. Nicki Minaj).mp3
Compilation tag: true
Album Artist: Various Artists

But asset handles it as VA. Evidence below.
mp3 file






Also sqlite has only "VA" as Album artist field value.
uMediaLibrary

Another hundreds of another compilation albums are just fine: Compilation tag, Album artist as Various Artist. Asset handles it perfectly.
But I have about 4 albums which this one gets VA, the another just Various. Why ? Are there corrupted idtags inside the mp3 which is not updated by any idtag editor ?

This problem is not isolated only by compilations, I believe that I have few studio albums which behaves with the similar strangeness.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: Mystery Album Artist on certain mp3

This file has 3 tag types:

id3v1
id3v2
APE

your tag editor will only read the first 2, dBpoweramp and Asset read all 3.

In the Ape tag the Album artist is set to VA

Oh my, I cannot even imagine how stupid I was about it. I blindly believed in Tag&Rename that the idtags were consistent. I didn't even noticed that some of the mp3 have APE tags. Those tags were not updated by Tag&Rename at all. After forcedly removing APE tags by Mp3Tag program the consistency was restored. Thank you for your precious time and finding the source of the problem.
