Questions / Some artists appearing repeatedly in Music Explorer and Music tabs
« on: April 01, 2023, 10:08:13 AM »
I have an issue where some artists show up repeatedly in the list of artists in the Music Explorer and Music tabs. So for example I have two entries for Ab-Soul, with one album listed in the first, one in the second.
There's no difference I can find in the way they're tagged; I've tried copying the artist name from one to the other repeatedly, they seem to be exactly the same. I've also tried removing these albums from the library and re-adding them, which also doesn't solve the issue. And I've noticed that the songs from the duplicate artist don't get synced to my phone, so it's a problem in that those albums essentially become impossible to sync.
This happens quite rarely, it doesn't affect many of the artists in my library, but I don't know of a good way of detecting when it is happening besides scrolling through the artist list looking for them manually, and I have no idea what's causing the problem or how to fix it. Any advice on figuring this out would be appreciated!
