Favoriting one album adds multiple albums to favorites

I may have figured it out. I decided to take one more look at the album's metadata. I saw that the value of the MusicBrainz Album Id field is set to "usicBrainz Album Id" (yes, missing the M) on a number of albums. Using Metadata Manager, I cleared this field on three albums so far. Now for those albums, the issue stopped. I'm guessing I have a huge number of albums that all have "usicBrainz Album Id" set as the MusicBrainz Album ID. Jellyfin must prioritize that field over Album Title. When I favorite one of those albums, it drops every matching album into Favorites. I used my MP3 tag editor to look at the metadata on the actual files. That is where that field is set. I have no idea how it got there. I guess I screwed something up somewhere along the way. For now I am just going to edit the metadata on a case-by-case basis as I favorite an album. Maybe some time down the road I will do a mass edit on the files themselves.
