[QUOTE="rtv, post: 101967, member: 12309"] While MP is not running you can use the SQLite Database Browser.exe to view the music database. The underscore is always added if illegal chars are detected in filenames. These might even be "invisible" in your current encoding. A common case are <LF> or null-byte-characters in the Artist tag. The artist thumbs itself are only populated from last.fm lookups in Playing Now screen - I guess TomTom21000 can tell you about an intersting way to fetch those ;) If you check the "create artist / genre from 1st file" option only the embedded album art of the files will be used - which is pretty useless for what we want - but some user submitted a patch for that...
