    Default [B2] folder MP3 scan(import)

    I have my albums/tracks held in the following formats.

    If its a Compliation album then the filename is in the format

    <track no.> - <Title> - <Artist>.mp3

    eg

    01 - Getting Better - Darren Styles.mp3

    but when i do a Scan Mp3 Media with `get info from file and directory` ticked then when you view the album in OC, the Artist name is show on the Track name line, and then underneath it is the artist name again (using default theme)

    now if i go an do an HTML export (cherry theme) i get

    01.

    any thoughts on this one?

    seams its uses the IDtag to read the Artist ok.. but not the song title rather it uses the filename for the title which sadly in my case includes the artist.

    is no one else having this problem?

    anyway little more experimenting and found that if i have my mp3s named has

    <track num> - <artist> - <Title>.mp3

    then mp3 import correctly splits the artist/titles in the view.

    but all my mp3 are names (and i prefer it this way)

    <track num> - <title> - <artist>.mp3


    would be nice both methods are correctly supports please.

    Hello!! BETA 3 and this still does not work

    Also if there's no cover art in the first CD1 folder then it wont import the cover even if it exists one director above.

    eg

    Album name (folder)
    -> folder.jpg (album cover art)
    -> cd1 (folder)
    -> cd2 (folder)

    Then it wont work... but if its

    Album name (folder)
    -> cd1 (folder)
    ...>
