Incorrect Artist Identification / Search Results

[Rumzzz 73]

Hello, 

I have had a long time issue with incorrect/duplicate artist identification, they are most obvious in search results.

The most common example is when searching for Kanye West:

Clicking on the first artist will show a Lil Wayne biography, and will show a single track he is credited on:

For that single track, here are the tags where "Lil Wayne" is credited on:

However this single-track Lil Wayne page is completely different than the "actual" Lil Wayne page (that has 1000+ songs).

This is revealed when I play "See You in My Nightmares" and click the Lil Wayne artist link, which takes me to his full page:

Not sure what tags/credits are causing Emby to create a separate artist page/credit, but there are a lot of these instances.

Differences in spellings or different music brainz ids.

Well what's odd is that all 3 artist IDs are the same between the single-track artist page and the "correct" artist page (MD, AudioDB, Discogs). I did not see any spelling differences on the album tags.

On the file itself, there are no artist IDs (only MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID). 

Running the files through Picard, saving them, and forcing a rescan in Emby does not fix the incorrectly identified artists in the search results.
