I installed v9 and now my library has double entries for certain artists....and here is the weird thing....some songs on some albums end up under one artist/album and other songs end up in the duplicate artist/album. Still other songs are completely missed. Here is a screen capture of the phenomena....notice that for 10,000 Maniacs, Alcatrazz, Barenaked Ladies, The Allman Brothers, etc, there are duplicates:

I had the same problem, multiple artist listings, it turned out to be trailing spaces that appeared during my first import. Select all your files, right click and choose Tools-->Clean File Properties, then set the operation to clean leading and trailing spaces for artist and album fields. That saved me a bunch of manual moves
Also, if you have a bunch show up in (multiple artists) category, do a search on the board for tips on how to clean that up, spellings, album names, etc. can trip it into thinking it's a compilation album.

Matt,
Could i possibly suggest that trailing and leading spaces are simply ignored as this might catch a lot of first time users out and I cant really see any particular use of anyone to have a space before or after an artist name.

Add my vote for Nila's suggestion :) It makes no sense at all to have leading/trailing spaces...if you don't count human errors that is :)

I'll vote for that too.
