Log entry I cannot explain

[Klaus57]

Hi Simon,

In my log file, I found an entry I can't explain:

"Scanning directory András Schiff
Scanning directory Franz Schubert_ Sonatas & Impromptus
Warning: Ignoring conflicting custom value for ALBUM_ARTISTS tag 'András Schiff' in file András Schiff/Franz Schubert_ Sonatas & Impromptus/01 4 Impromptus, Op. 90, D. 899_ 1. Allegro molto moderato.flac
applied sort value is 'Shiokawa, Yuuko'; conflicting sort value is 'Schiff, András'"

When I edit the album with Songkong, I only see András Schiff, regardless of the role.
With the LINN App I cannot find this album with Albumartist = Andras Schiff but only as an artist = Andras Schiff.
Minimserver is installed on a QNAP NAS (HS-264)
Controllpoint is a iPAD with LINN-App installed.

Attached are the simple log, the detailed log, my configuration, and two excerpts from the Songkong editor.

Thanks and best regards,
Klaus

This message is telling you that this file:

András Schiff/Franz Schubert_ Sonatas & Impromptus/01 4 Impromptus, Op. 90, D. 899_ 1. Allegro molto moderato.flac

has an ALBUM_ARTISTS tag 'András Schiff' with a sort value 'Schiff, András' applied by an ALBUM_ARTISTS_SORT tag in this file. Some other file in your library that was scanned previously has an ALBUM_ARTISTS tag 'András Schiff' with a sort value 'Shiokawa, Yuuko'. It isn't possible for the ALBUM_ARTISTS tag value 'András Schiff' to have two different sort values applied by the tags in diiferent files in your library.

In this case it appears that the tagging of the file

András Schiff/Franz Schubert_ Sonatas & Impromptus/01 4 Impromptus, Op. 90, D. 899_ 1. Allegro molto moderato.flac

is correct and it is the other file that has an incorrect value for ALBUM_ARTISTS_SORT.

Thank you, Simon. This information will help me search for the cause more effectively.

Best regards,
