Description Andrés G. Aragoneses (IRC: knocte) 2008-09-01 15:17:01 UTC
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
