Any idea why an artist would be listed twice in an Android media player?
Some of the ones I've tried don't list it twice (Musicolet, Auxio, VLC) and some of them do (Gramophone, Fossify). It's always the same albums listed in each group, too.
I double-checked the metadata using both the Apple Music app on my MacBook and Picard, And all of the tracks have the same track/album artist without any extraneous characters.
@alisynthesis @reillypascal hm...could it have to do with 'composer' maybe? i've also seen some distinctions because of tracks listed as part of a compilation versus not.
@tsrono @alisynthesis update: I saw a suggestion to try changing the artist name then changing it back, and this seems to have worked! I don't think the metadata is any different than before, but it's now sorting correctly. Go figure!
@reillypascal @tsrono makes PERFECT sense 🙄
@reillypascal could it be that some things have both artist and album artist, and some only have one or the other?

@reillypascal seems appropriate that it's Autechre somehow. They probably planned this glitch to mind fuck us 🤣
