A single track, duplicated by TagCache

(1/3) > >>

Chickenhead:
Oh this is driving me nuts today!  I get a new album, encode it and faithfully copy it up to my RockBox (running on iPod Video, using today's daily CVS snapshot).  For some reason I cannot fathom, TagCache is producing doubles of this ONE entry!

The file is called in_the_garden.ogg.  The track title is "In The Garden" by The Shroud.  In the Artist->Album view, Tag Cache lists:

1. In The Garden
1. In The Garden
2. Mirrorworld
...

I've nuked the entire TagCache DB and re-built it from scratch...same deal, same thing.  And it's only this track that has a double.  So, I played around with both the ogg title tag and the file name, and re-built.  I re-named the file in_the_garden_i.ogg, and re-titled it "In The Garden (I)".  Then, I re-initialized the database and rebuilt it AGAIN.  What do I get now?

1.  In The Garden
2.  In The Garden (I)
...

This, despite the fact that the first entry for "In The Garden" was attached to a file called in_the_garden.ogg, while the new, updated "In The Garden (I)" is called in_the_garden_i.ogg.  And even more strangely, the first entry called "In The Garden" IS pointing at the correct filename.

So, re-titling doesn't fix it, re-naming the file doesn't fix it....um, help?  Is there any way I can just delete the item from the playlist in TagCache manually?

('tis a small thing but it's driving me nuts today..it's not widespread and is only happening with this one track!!)

Llorean:
Are you 100% certain they point at the exact same file?

Have you tried inserting both into a playlist, saving the playlist, and seeing if the entries in the playlist are identical?

HorstIriver:
Llorean, I can't remember whether it was in the manual or in the bug list, but I am sure that I have read that this a known bug, reason still unknown. There was even a list of known albums/songs that are affected.

Llorean:
No, it's been a known bug in the past. And it's been fixed before. So, please, answer my question instead of saying "I don't need to" because the bug may have come back *or* there may be another cause for your problem, and part of determining that is finding out exactly what is going on.

There is *no* way to have a list of all albums/songs affected because every encode of a given song will be slightly different anyway.

Chickenhead:
I did check the known bug list...there was a mention of something on there that sounded similar, but I though it had something to do with having two tracks named the same by different artists?  Hard to say...I checked my entire collection and the only file named "in_the_garden.ogg" with title track "In The Garden" belongs to this album, so it's unique.

I have not tried adding them to a playlist but I will attempt to.  I am 100% sure they point at the same file.  I have since put the original file back on (in_the_garden.ogg, titled "In The Garden") and completely re-built the database, so now I'm back to the original configuration:

1.  In The Garden
2.  In The Garden
3.  etc
4.  etc

The first two entries do point at the same file.
