hmmm. ok. I will have to look into this a bit deeper then. I have over 
60,000 tracks which have all been properly tagged (assisted with Jaikoz) 
and are readable by every media player I have plus MediaMonkey and 
Jinzora. So it is unlikely to be my tags but based on your confidence in 
the reading of ID3 tags then perhaps there is an issue somewhere else in 
the code or my environment. I have noticed the scan finishes too quickly 
(ie. it only takes less than 5 minutes) so perhaps something else is 
failing. It misses half of my genre and resorts to a directory path for 
many files if it finds them at all.

If someone has seen this before then I would appreciate a pointer. 
Otherwise is there a way to raise the debug info in MythMusic so I can 
try and track this down?
