[QUOTE="jburnette, post: 302225, member: 24356"] That's a bug. What you can do right now is add your artist then, if you have more files for that artist that you need to add, close the manual add box and reopen it. You should see it then available in the drop down box. It's fixed now so that you can't add duplicate artists. Sorry, not really. Allmusic didn't give any kind of unique identifier for each artist. That was one of the biggest problems with it. That's the reason why you aren't able to change the Artists name, because future scans would readd that artist as a new artist with the original name. Artists are now tracked internally by their last.fm name which would require a second lookup to get if you used allmusic's information. The new last.fm grabber is much faster and much better at automatically matching up artists. Good to hear it's working for you now. [/QUOTE]
