[Gtkpod-devel] Gtkpod creating multiple entries in the database

[Alex P. <al...@al...>]

Hello, 

I understand it's an already reported issue¹ that some people have been
having trouble with duplicate entries on their iPod. I'm seeing a similar
thing - some artists have several repeated entries on the iPod's "artist"
menu. When iTunes writes the database everything seems fine. 

Some specific examples: 
Sigur Ros has many, many repeated entries, all in one place. 
Smash Mouth has about 5 entries in one place. 
Mr. Scruff has many entries, scattered throughout the list in places out
of alphabetical order. 


I've uploaded two versions of the iTunesDB file to my webspace: 
http://www.ethicsgirls.com/stuff/iTunesDB
http://www.ethicsgirls.com/stuff/iTunesDB.apple

The former is the version written by gtkpod, the latter by iTunes. I'm
using the latest gtkpod/libgpod in Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.

I'm not on the gtkpod-devel list; if there's any more info you need, let
me know.
