Wrong Artist Name

Issue description

The Artist Page and Album Artist Page for Volbeat is in Japanese (I think) signs. However the text beneath the albums and titles when searching or in the player is correct. I tagged my music using Music Brainz Picard.

Append is a screenshot demonstrating the issue.

I’d like to give you on of the music files, should you need that in testing. Please tell me how I can do that!

This is probably the composer tag, your logs does not include a full sync.

I uploaded new Logs under my name Henikx, with a full sync

The new logs show the cause: “Temple Of Ekur” and “Wait a Minute My Girl” have their artist and album artist tags set to ヴォルビート. Only their sort names are set to Volbeat.

Those files share the same MusicBrainz artist ID as your other Volbeat tracks, so the Japanese name is used for the linked artist, while individual tracks can still display Volbeat.

Change both files’ artist and album artist tags to Volbeat, save them, and run a full sync. No sample file is needed at this stage.
