I love Songs-DB. But I'm having a problem with the ID tags. When I change the properties of the songs in Database mode, all of my changes stick and everything is great. But when I go to look at my songs in Computer mode, none of the changes have taken effect. So if I change the properties of the songs again, only this time I do it in the Computer mode, the changes still do not take effect.
Plus, in Computer mode, the year shows up in the year column AND the album column, what's that all about? It does it in Database mode too, when you first scan the files in. But again, you can change it in Database mode and it sticks but it doesn't stick in Computer mode no matter what I do.
Any ideas?
Thanks

ID tags not updating

When "Use database for computer node browsing" option in the setup dialog is unchecked (default), all the information shown are based just on filenames and tags. So if you check songs data (artist, ...) for example in WinAmp, you should get the same result in Computer node. All other nodes always use database.
Column "Album" should show just album names. This could probably happen when there isn't album name found in ID3 tag, Songs-DB tries to parse filename, and if the year is included in the filename, it can be imported as an album name.
