Incorrect artist name displayed in some songs about auxio

Oh. Do you have music folders named Music and Reekado Banks? I think I may know whats going on here.

I have a folder named 'Music' but I dont have any folder named 'Reekado Banks'.

The 'Reekado Banks' is given to any song whose artist name cannot be determined... like a default.

In other music players... I see "Unknown"

Okay, thats strange. Android will default to the folder name [In this case, Music] when it can't find an album name. I can't change that behavior.

The artist though is really odd. Do you have an song with an artist named Reekado Banks? If that's the case, then I bet that the Artist ID of the Music album is colliding with another artist and is thusly being assigned to them. That's fixable, but would result in a performance hit.

Yeah, I dont have a problem with the album name.

And yes, I have some songs with artiste named 'Reekado Banks'.

I have not dug into your codebase to see how you query the data from MediaStore but on a normal ground cursor.getString(getColumnIndex(cursor, MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTISTE) should return 'Unknown', when no artiste name is found or maybe you can do a check if the artist name is null or something -display "Unknown".

Okay. It seems like this is just a plain ID collision. I'll be merging this into #38 and will try to address it eventually.

Alright... 👍👍

I made a music refactor that I think might fix this issue in the next Auxio release. You can go test it if you want or you can wait for the next Auxio release to try it out.
