I'm up and running with Media Centre 17 on my PC and I am now testing my backup method using a spare laptop. 50% of my "Album" entry fields are left blank as 1. no album name required for singles and 2. a compilation album name is pointless on a server. The original album name exists within the file name as ripped from EAC. No problem so far. However, when restoring from backup (win 7 pro), the restored version has taken the album name from the file name and not left blank as it is in the pre-backup version tabs. Any tricks or solutions appreciated. Thanks in advanced, Sean.
