Please describe the problem: It's usual that an iPod user wants to browse her collection library sorting it by Artist. It turns out that current Banshee behaviour with songs without metadata in the album field, after syncing to the iPod it makes the song appear on it with a fake album name called "Unknown Album", and iPod thinks (maybe because a bug) that the album is the same regardless of the artist. Steps to reproduce: 1. Import songs without album but different artist. For example: a) Jamiroquai - Alright b) Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry 2. Drag them to the iPod (iPod now contains only 2 songs). 3. Go to the iPod's main menu and select Music -> Artists Actual results: The main title of the menu is called "Unknown Album" and there are 2 items: - Alright - No Woman no cry Expected results: The main title of the menu should be called "Artists" and there should be 2 items: - All - Bob Marley - Jamiroquai Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
It turns out the patch for bug 528493 also fixes this issue.
Marking FIXED because the patch of bug 528493 was committed!
