Hi,
I have problems with some artists and albums in my collection - some of them are displayed improperly even though all are properly tagged. I store my records in flac, all tagged with Mp3Tag (only flac tag available). All files kept on NAS shared via NFS (but I had the same with samba, so it's not a protocol related problem), in folders with following structure:
Music/<Artist>/<YYYY> <Album title>/<track#> <song title>
All files have following tag:
- artist
- title
- album
- year
- genre
- track
- album artist
- discnumber
- cover
However, in the library some of artist have wrong casing (e.g. "WITHIN TEMPTATION" instead "Within Temptation" set in tag), some are just set to "Unknown". Similarly, sometimes song titles are replaced by simple "Track 1", "Track 2", etc...
I've double and triple checked the tags and I'm sure they're correct. It looks like a scraper prefers data from online sources to the one available in tag and feeds the database with wrong values. Am I right with that suspicion? How to configure scrapers to prioritize local tags over remote data?
I'm using standard Artist and Album scrapers on Frodo 12.2 installed on Ubuntu minimal.
