Hi there,
There's an odd bug in MC 18 (v. 18.0.212) that I can't figure out. I display my albums using thumbnails and the text underneath is Album Name on the first line, then Album Artist on the second line. On a few of my albums (about half a dozen out of 900), the last character gets dropped. So, for instance, "The Fray" is displayed as "The Fra". This only occurs on the text underneath the thumbnail. When I open up the album to display the tracks, the full name is always displayed and it's always displayed correctly when I look at the Tag info. I tried deleting all the tracks, re-tagging the files with the full name, then re-adding the album, but that didn't change anything. The really strange part is that some Album Artists are inconsistently displayed, where most of the time I see the full name, but there's one instance of dropping the last character. For example, most of the time I see "The Fairfield Four" but one of the albums has "The Fairfield Fou", or I have three albums with "Talisman A Cappella", but one has "Talisman A Cappell".
These names aren't running out of room on the line ("The Fray" is a short name) and the characters being dropped are not special characters.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a fix?
Thanks,
Dave

Can you show your Thumbnail Text entry (via screenshot), after using Cmd-A to Select All in the edit box (see attached screenshot).
-
Here's a screenshot of the window showing the thumbnail text (in general) and a specific instance ("The Fairfield Four" and "The Fairfield Fou") on the same screen.
Thanks,
Dave

Silly question, but have you checked your Album Artist that is missing the last letter?
-
Yes, I checked the tags on all of these files and the Album Artist is correct in the meta-data. Also, when I select "Tag" from the drop-down menu on a track, it shows that the Album Artist is correct. Here's a screen shot of "The Fray" becoming "The Fra" on the thumbnail text (top, under the album thumbnail), but being correct in the Tag (on the lower left).
Thanks,
Dave

Ok, that's interesting. Maybe someone at JRiver will comment soon...

Just checking back to see if anyone at JRiver has seen this before?
