I have an issue I can't seem to resolve.

Let's use THE BEATLES for example.

If I have a complete album, ex. MEET THE BEATLES and the tags are set in the file as follows:
Artist: Beatles, The
Song: Whatever
Album: Meet The Beatles
Genre: Rock

When EJukebox pulls a song from that album, it renames (in the database, not in the file) like this:
Artist: The Beatles
Song: Whatever
Album: Meet The Beatles
Genre: Rock

So the next time I search for BEATLES, I get two albums.

For the one song played already:
Artist: The Beatles
Song: Whatever
Album: Meet The Beatles
Genre: Rock

For the rest of the album that hasn't been played yet, I get:
Artist: Beatles, The
Song: Whatever
Album: Meet The Beatles
Genre: Rock


I hope this makes sense to you all, kind of confusing, but it's driving me crazy trying to figure out how to handle it.

Thanks,
Allen

Solution: Put the album picture in the ID3V2 header of every single track of every single album.

That way, eJukebox will leave the tag completely alone and will not attempt to "guess" the real name. "Beatles, The" will stay that way and not turn into "The Beatles".

...or after all your Beatles songs have gotten album images go into eJukebox's and right click to Edit a beatles song and in the editor click the small "R" button by the artist to rename all artists with that name i.e. "Beatles, The " to "The Beatles" or vica versa.
