I'm a new user of Quod Libet, please be kind. #4531

Steps to reproduce

Quod Libet crashed twice in the last hour, while I was playing Exodus (Marley, Bob & The Wailers) in the Album List view and updating fields, for each track as they were playing. Both times I was presented with a crash report that I sent.

My main concern is that, following the crashes, I've now got three 'Cover' entries for Exodus (Marley, Bob & The Wailers) in the Album List sidebar; one cover has 9 tracks linked to it and the other two have 1 track each (Both these tracks appear to be the tracks that were playing when Quod Libet crashed. When I look at the album in the Track List view: &(artist = Marley, Bob & The Wailers, album = exodus) Tracks 8 and 10 are out of order when sorted (I've sorted in different ways).

How can I get Quod Libet to recognise that there's only one 'Exodus' album?

In my /Music/Marley, Bob folder I've only got the one 'Exodus' folder with 11 tracks in it

Not sure what the crashes are about (yet) so hard to say.

Worth having a look at the slightly related User Guide FAQ question

&(artist = Marley, Bob & The Wailers, album = exodus)

Side note, you can use artistsort for this kind of behaviour [and be better supported], and keep artist for the human-readable one (Bob Marley & The Wailers)
