Artist Equivalence Issues


Wrong artist:

Should be this guy:

Wrong Genres:
R&B instead of something like Electronic, House, Euro House.

Hi @BlackJack. Thanks for this report. One of our metadata providers appears rather confused regarding this artist; we’ve requested some corrections. Once these are made and built into our metadata, we’ll take another look to see if anything else needs doing.

Hi,

the album

is linked to a band called “The Shanes”.

The description of the band says:

The members section in the screenshot, the web link and Wikipedia link are pointing to the German band “The Shanes” (which is correct)

The description, the formed and disbanded section refer to a band which was came from sweden and was active in the 60s.

Hi @papa.jay. Thanks for the report. An edit has been made; please get back to us in a week if the bio isn’t fixed. Note that incorrect artwork will not be updated.

It seems there is some confusion on the metadata front between Maxim (Keith Palmer, previously known as Maxim Reality) of The Prodigy. Also author of Hell’s Kitchen (2000)

and a german pop singer named Maxim


Thanks

Thanks for the report @Marcor and apologies for the inconvenience. An edit has been made for Maxim. Please wait for up to a week for it to take effect.

@Niccolo_Terzi Thanks for the reports. Edits made for Denis Charles and Staatskapelle Berlin. As usual, these may take up to a week to take effect.

Is it possible to “batch” identify duplicate artists like this? I come across them all the time.

@Tony_Casey Yes. Virtually every artist equivalence issue which has come up in this thread is fixed automatically in code which we are now testing; or more accurately, the new code doesn’t generate these issues. Any edits we’re are making at the moment are simply interim fixes until the new code is live.

Look forward to it. If I understand correctly the fixes will propagate through to existing libraries without a need to notify roon? Is that correct?

Yes, should be automatic.

wrong bob thompson

as it is said in the bio:

the bob thompson of the composition is not this one… it should be

M , -M-


the bio says this “M” is Robin Scott, aka -M-.
but the bio of -M-

says he is mathieu chedid, so i guess another person.
they are both credited in:


but i guess the correct one is only -M-
