Since I have removed all spaces from folders the band name to look for in airsonic is also without a space.
So suppose I look for AlphaBlondy, I look at that page and at the bottom I see similar artist is Merzbow... No Merzbow sounds _nothing_ like Alpha Blondy.

And now the point:
_What I suspect that is going here: Since AlphaBlondy can't be found on last.fm, returns empty and airsonic doesn't check the empty result and returns something, which in my case is Merzbow._

To avoid problems like these all together organize your collection like this, so add spaces where they should be.

Alpha Blondy/Cocody Rock

If you have an artist with a few albums and some loose tracks, organize them like this:

artist\album 1
artist\album 2
artist\loose tracks\track 1
artist\loose tracks\track 2

Now I have my collection sorted into various genres. That's fine, but I had to create a media folder for each genre.

Pop /mp3/Pop
Metal /mp3/Metal

@tesshucom this is not a question, this is a bug report. In case your band can't be found, garbage is returned.

Sorry. Currently in the process of being sorted out.
No offense, but there may be some errors in the transition period.
We are making improvements in #1707 to prevent this from happening in the future.
