What might cause the Artist tag in MM5 to not match the actual file tags?

Post by hypercube42 »

For example, I have an album by the artist "Dave" who features an artist "Mark" on some of his tracks. So when I view the files in Windows Explorer or MP3tag, the artist fields look like this:
1.Dave
2.Dave featuring Mark
3.Dave featuring Mark
4.Dave
5.Dave featuring Mark

But for some reason in MM5, I'm seeing the artists listed as
1.Dave featuring Mark
2.Dave featuring Mark
3.Dave featuring Mark
4.Dave featuring Mark
5.Dave featuring Mark

I've been using MM for a long time and haven't encountered something like this before, I don't think MM is inferring any properties because I can see the artist field in MP3tag and Explorer. The albumartist field in all instances reads correctly as "Dave". Is there something I might be missing?

There could be multiple tags in the files and different Apps read different tags. You could also have edited the files in MediaMonkey. If you want you can offer a problem file to Support for analysis.
