Duplicate Album Artist - kulak - 2023-11-02
Hi,
My Music library has directory structure:
- Vanessa‐Mae
- - Storm
- - Subject to Change
However when I look at "Music" library -> "Album Artist" -> letter V -> I see 2 entries for "Vanessa-Mae". Both look the same, but each one has one album inside.
When I inspect Metadata I see two different paths "/var/lib/jellyfin/metadata/artists/Vanessa-Mae" and "/mnt/data/media-share/Music/Vanessa‐Mae".
I have "NFO" enabled on my library.

I've had this happen a few times myself with certain albums/artists, and rather than try to figure out what Jellyfin is thinking, I found it far easier to dump all those music files for a given artist into MP3TAG (https://www.mp3tag.de/en/) and made sure all the music files in question were re-tagged with the exact same Artist name. that does the trick every time.
also helps to make sure that every title that's supposed to be in a given Album is actually in that Album - again, easy to do with MP3TAG.
