Summary0004275: inferring properties from filename: Artist like '02' should not be inferred.
DescriptionAccording to what I read on the forums lake that:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24647
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24689
Users often complain that if filename is in the form of
"02-Amor_y_celo_c209530e.wma"
the "02" is inferred as artist. I think that MM should be more smart in the way to not consider numbers as an artist, because most often it means rather track number. Usually there are not artists called '02' or '05'.
i.e.
Only artists that are not a numbers should be inferred.
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build1135

Assigning to Petr since he'll work on the sources of the routine responsible for this. It probably isn't too urgent, but in case of an easy and safe fix, it could be made.

I think it is quite urgent, because when I firstly scanned my library I was wondering why tens of tracks have artist "02" and why another tens of tracks have artist "03" and so on. Now, I know why and I had this problems 2 years ago when I was using MM 2.5.
I guess that fix should not be too hard and that effect will be great.

Btw.
I don't know any artist called '02' or '2' or '05'.
i.e. Numbers from interval < 01, 20> should not be inferred as artist in my opinion.

Fixed in 1135. I've added new mask %T-%S, but current users will have to delete SongsMasks section from ini file (to recreate default).
