Description Job Noorman 2009-05-07 13:08:21 UTC

Version:           2.1-SVN (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-11-generic

I have a very strange issue with the current Amarok svn build. I have not found a good way to reproduce this, but I thought to report it anyway.

I just downloaded the Pulp Fiction Sound Track Collection CD (a CD with various artists) and imported it in Amarok. Now Amarok seems to pick a random (?) artist from my collection for some of the songs on this CD. Note that the ID3 tags are correct.

I don't know what else to say except for giving an example:

$ eyeD3 01_Misirlou_-_Dick_Dale_and_His_Del-Tones.mp3

01_Misirlou_-_Dick_Dale_and_His_Del-Tones.mp3   [ 5.61 MB ]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time: 02:27     MPEG1, Layer III        [ 320 kb/s @ 44100 Hz - Joint stereo ]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ID3 v2.3:
title: Misirlou         artist: Dick Dale & His Del-Tones
album: Pulp Fiction Soundtrack - Collector's Edition            year: None
track: 1/21

Amarok tells me this is a song by the Ramones.

I know this isn't a very clear bug report so please let me know if I can give more info.

Cheers!
job

Why had this bug been marked as a duplicate? I read all the comments of  bug 172953 but nobody seemed to have the problem I described here: wrong artists being assigned when the ID3 tags are correct.

Because bug 172953 is our catch all bug for compilation support. Because yes, we know that compilation support in Amarok 2 is shite.

We try to keep our bug tracker as slim as possible, otherwise we simply can't manage it (imagine how many bugs/feature requests/comments) we get every day.
