    Files not being read correctly in Media Player

    I am not sure what is happening with my music, but it's driving me mad and making me pull out my hair. My ID tags are not being read correctly through through both Rhythmbox and Banshee, but my tag editor, dBpoweramp, and Ubuntu properties reports the information correctly. All of my music is stored on another computer stream via the network. For example, I have an album by X Japan label as this:
    Track: Break the Darkness
    Artist: X
    Album: I'll Kill You EP
    Year: 1985

    But banshee breaks up the album into two different albums, and on top of that, Banshee see it as X Japan, but reads it as X for the artist. And it's not just this album, it happens to a lot of my albums, sometimes they are missing tracks or mislabel or missing cover art, etc, etc, but only within the media player. Why is this happening and has anyone else notice this?

    Here's an image just to prove I am not crazy!

    notice the capital 'J' and lower case 'j' of japan.

    standardise those (i.e. all upper case) and should be ok

    Re: Files not being read correctly in Media Player

    could it have something to do with the 'J' of 'Japan'

    in your image above, one is upper case and the other is lower case. try standardising them and see what happens

    But that's the thing though, It's not labelled as "X Japan", but instead it's labelled as "X" without Japan. You can see in the photo that it's Just simple "X" but the preview of the album says other wise. I even included the properties of the file name for track 4 of that album. Why is it mislabelling it?

    Re: Files not being read correctly in Media Player

    So, I went through my whole music collection and made folder images for everything and check all files. Everything is tagged correctly within tag editor, ubuntu's properties, and dbpoweramp, but still banshee reports mislabelled tags. It's as if I never retagged my music, but of course I did, [checked it three times now over both ubuntu and windows.] Hasn't someone else noticed this problem too?

    I still don't a clue what's wrong with this.

    I have noticed, some of the music files has corrected themself, but I did not make any chances to them. This is such a weird problem.
