amarok sometimes displays the wrong artist and album for songs in the playlist and playing

[Conan]

As can be seen in the attached screenshot a lot of the information displayed by amarok is wrong...
It shows the tracks from the Blues Brothers Soundtrack with the artist as "The Clash" and the album as "Tenacious D"
This is definitley not a property of the files...

I've just experienced this today for the first time (well, this is the first time that I've noticed it anyway). Very confusing!

When I open Amarok's tag editor the genre matches the location, the genre is from a different song and the artist is from a different song again! I guess it could be related to rescanning the collection, adding songs or editing tags within Amarok.

Whatever it is, it's pretty confusing!

It's also happening to me since I started using 2.0.x and is still happening with 2.1.1. I haven't been able to find any related bug on bugs.kde.org. I tried deleting the config and the database ans starting from zero and still happens. It's strange than couldn't find more info about such a noticeable/visible bug, seems that it's only happening to (very) few of us.

# amarok --version
Qt: 4.5.0
KDE: 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2)
Amarok: 2.1.1

Apparently it's fixed in svn : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178973

Fixed upstream at revision 985896

Just out of interest is this fixed in 2.2.1?

I restarted amarok and it seems to have corrected itself.
