01 01 Ducks in the Rain
02 02 King of Pain
03 03 My cloths are Stained
04 04 Ride the Train
(Here I go again, telling you how to do your job...) Would it make sense to make Smart crop just chop off the first 3 characters of the string for a no hyphen option or the first 5 characters for the hyphen option? Or is that too simplistic?
Does Smart Crop take into account some crazy burners that load
"Artist - album - year - track - title.mp3"? If so, my suggestion would not work.

SmartCrop looks for the last hyphen followed by a space, so "Ride My See-Saw" would not get cropped and "Artist - album - year - track - title.mp3" would be cropped to "title".
Of course, SmartCrop should only get called into play when the ID3 tag isn't read for some reason.
As far as the rest of this post, I need to look at it in more detail at home...

OK... So it was my buddy Cory, but together we have narrowed the problem down. Essentally, all heck breaks loose when the
StrictAlbum1 = *
is used. At that point all of the album orders get scrambled. Remove this line, delete data files, reload and about 95% of the albums are correct. I must look at the tags in the remaining few and verify them. But 95% correct is a big step from 100% wrong!

Looking at this tonight... I think I've located the problem, but I need to work through my thought process as I didn't document this section of code well.
