Update 16.06.2014 01:24 01:24 I tried to verify that '/'-behaviour of the media player app with some AC/DC albums. Interestingly, AC/DC shows up correct in the arists listing and even the corresponding albums are files under that artist. So, I played a bit with the ID3 tags of the initial artists albums changing the name from 'incite/' to e.g. 'incit/e', just to see if the positioning of the '/' has any impact on the behaviour of the media player. In fact it has: changing the name in the ID3 Tag to 'incit/e' resulted in the media player artist listing into something like 'incit;e'. See the '/' being replaced by a ';'. Although, the corresponding albums are not either. I even changed the ID3 artist name into 'ac/dc' (note: lower case letters) which resulted in the absolutely same behaviour: '/' becomes ';' and no albums shown. However, deleting my test files and copying the original files now finally messed up the media player at all - the app now lists one of the incite/ albums under AC/DC which is definitely wrong, and the other incite/ album is still not shown. This is really weird.
