Mike, DieBagger: we currently have 4 respectively 5 artist properties in WebMusicAlbum and WebMusicTrack, while we read only fields from the database (strAlbum and strAlbumArtist). I think it's better to change both classes to have only one 2 artist properties: string[] AlbumArtist and string[] Artist. Maybe the string value can be kept too, but it's completely duplicate information.
Also, do you use any other communication channel besides the forum for questions like this?

Yes that's crap The main problem are the different naming conventions... Most media center use AlbumArtist as "main artist" field others use Artist...
My idea is to use string[]Artist, string[]AlbumArtist and string shortedAlbumArtist (which is only the first albumArtist)

Our channels are windows live messenger and the forum

Well, I don't think we have to worry about which is used as the "main artist" as long as we pass both. I believe for searching we already use AlbumArtist, which I think makes sense. I think your idea makes sense too, so implementing it

Which link are you using? The one you've posted isn't correct.

Have you already tried to change the path to your music database?
