Title: Possible bug in Autoimport (albums being reimported thus resetting tags)
Post by: nebera on October 13, 2018, 04:39:33 am

Good day.
I noticed a strange behavior in my music library: some tracks started to lose the manually-changed tag values, they were reset to the defalt values (as they were reimported from file again).
I have my library set on autoimport. On average 2-3 tracks are being reset per day.

After some investigation I noticed that all these tracks have something in common: during normal autoimport pass the album containing them is mentioned in the log as

Quote

Import: ImportNewFiles: Adding: path-tofile\file.cue

But at some unlucky autoimport pass (and this seems to be reasonably rare event), instead of that I have

Quote

Import: ImportNewFiles: Adding: path-tofile\file.FLAC

(or dsf or whatever), which is then followed by the usual .cue import and then by

Quote

CMediaDatabase::RemoveFileAbsolute

which seems to delete previously imported but unnecessary FLAC file.
This procedure for some reason resets manually changed tags for the first track of that album.

So, the scenario is as follows:
1) During the autoimport the .FLAC file is processed and imported before the corresponding CUE (this is rare event, I have 0-3 such occasions on a 24k library a day)
2) Then CUE is imported
3) Then wrongly imported FLAC from step 1 is deleted
4) This somehow messes up tags for the first track of the album (as it was reimported)

Please see the attached log excerpts and pictures.
Thank you.

Can I please have any comment from the devs? As I understand this is official support forum?

Do you have Fix broken links - Yes (protect files on missing drives) selected in your autoimport setup?

Yep.

Another (possibly) related issue. I have some albums which consist only of one song each, so its cue files look like this:

Quote

REM GENRE "Heavy Metal"
REM DATE 1994
REM DISCID 02013101
REM COMMENT "ExactAudioCopy v1.0b1"
CATALOG 4988029075048
PERFORMER "Dream Theater"
TITLE "Awake"
FILE "awakejpn2.flac" WAVE
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    TITLE "Eve"
    PERFORMER "Dream Theater"
    ISRC 000000000000
    INDEX 00 00:00:00
    INDEX 01 00:00:32

And all these albums are imported EACH autoimport cycle - it reproduces 100%.
