Pure McCartney on TIDAL, It's there, but tracks are wrong

I see the issue with the McCartney album, and I’m checking in a fix. Should be good in in the next 2-3 days, guys – we’ve done a lot of work on the metatdata cloud services over the last month, and we’re able to deploy these quite a bit faster now.

In Roon, you’re always seeing our metadata by default, and that includes TIDAL content. This is how we can add in all the richer metadata like credits, composer info, reviews and genres, etc, as well as turning nonsense artists like Jay-Z & Beyonce into actual links to the two performers.

Unlike local files, your Core doesn’t have access to the underlying metadata from TIDAL, but we’re working on a number of ways to make this more accurate in the future, including hiring a new developer in the last 2 weeks to oversee this work (cc @VirusKiller ;)).

This was a pretty straightforward equivalence error, which is a separate problem that we understand, and which leaked into TIDAL data in this case. We are fixing these manually right now, but refining this part of our metadata service is one of the major improvements we have planned for the next few months.
