I think it's Amazon that sucks.. Here's the issue.
When you download an album from Amazon it places the files into folders by Artist name. Normally this might not seem like a problem, except that say an artist has a featured guest. Assuming you buy Timbaland's Shock Value, you get something like:
\Timbaland\Shock Value
\Timbaland_Feat_Nelly_Furtado\Shock Value
\Timbaland_Feat_Justin_Timberlake\Shock Value
ugghh...
To make matters worse, the library system on Android - or at least all the players I have tried - seems to use the folders over the MP3 ID3 tags.
So now you have 3 albums called "Shock Value" in your Album List. Each containing one song.
Now to know why this is a major pain for me, consider that I made the mistake of buying 4 albums compiled by Amazon. Each of them are named something like "The 99 Greatest Classical Songs for ....".
Beacuase these are compiled and have different artists performing the songs, I know have close to 400 albums contining 1 song each when I should only have 4 albums each containing 99 songs.
Has anyone else run into this and/or how to you deal with it? Is there a better player that can manage this smarter?
