Can you please provide more details on how you searched? Did you select track 2 and used Auto-Tag from Web?

No having the album I tested with a manual search and couldn't reproduce.

I didn't search. As I said, I used Buy Album. This can be found under track Properties | Basic.

[Lowlander]

Something doesn't make sense though, why is Amazon including [07798108080064], do you have that in the tags?

I can reproduce the issue though with the album ¿Dónde Están Los Ladrones? by Shakira. Improper character encoding is probably the issue here. (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_dmusi ... %20Shakira)

Lowlander is surely correct about it being improper character encoding. I see that issue with an attempt to buy Solé's album Skin Deep. Amazon shows "Solé."

PS -- Wouldn't it make more sense for this feature to use Album Artist and not Artist?

> Improper character encoding is probably the issue here.

Self-evidently.

Yes - I put the GTIN in Album to workaround MM's failure to distinguish multiple albums with same Album (sic) and Album Artist. Since Devs have shown no inclination to fix this failure, if anyone has a workaround free of tag pollution, please do tel!

How might you expect them to "fix" this?

I still think that it is a really bad idea to consider albums based on folders.
