I have a perfectly tagged music database finally, but when trying to retrieve artist data, Mediaportal seems to "cram together" short words when matching, so that artists beginning with "A" or "The" aren't matched correctly.

Example:
Artist/Group: The Ting Tings | results in MediaPortal: Thetis Sealey
Artist/Group: The Stooges or The Stone Roses | results in MediaPortal: T. Hester, Theston Inby, theSTART, Thestar69

Examples of other music not being matched properly are: Björk and other artists with ÅÄÖ in the name.

The fanart handler, from Cul8er matches artists phenomenally, perhaps his name logic could be adapted into MediaPortal's music scraper?
