Confusing Behaviour With Album Artist Listtings

[map856]

I've observed some anomalous behaviour with Asset.

1. Why would Queen and Jeff Wayne appear listed under [B] Album Artists? There may well be other examples like this.
2. Why are The Seekers not picked up under [S] (or any other letter) yet their albums display correctly under Album listings? As far as I can tell, they're the only artist that are not picked up out of my whole collection (~ 300 albums).

Would appreciate any suggestions/explanations! :confused:

You might have an album artist sort tag set, have a look at the id tags attached to the files in question.

Hi Spoon, according to Mp3Tag, the ALBUM ARTIST SORT fields are set as follows:

Queen set to Queen, Jeff Wayne set to Wayne, Jeff and The Seekers set to Seekers, The.

Remember, The Seekers are not appearing at all under Album Artist listings.

I found The Seekers - they are actually listed under [D]!

Hi Spoon, just wondering whether you've tracked down the cause of this strange behaviour.
