Zune Boards - View Single Post - Possible Fixes for common Zune2 software issues

I've got album art and metadata in general showing up in all the wrong places. I've deleted and rebuilt the entire zune app data folder several times now. I've installed the Zune software on a seperate machine running Vista (XP on my main system) that I clone my music to using SyncToy. In all cases the data is at least 25% wrong. It's wrong in exactly the same way on both computers. For example, U2 - Elevation ALWAYS shows up under Alien Ant Farm's Anthology (U2 isn't even listed as an artist anymore). That album in turn gets some random album art. Which wrong art is chosen seems to be the only variable.

Is there anything at all anyone has heard to try beyond deleting the data stores in the Zune's app data folder? I'm not even going to TRY and fix the havoc wreaked on my smart playlists (in that they don't appear anymore) until after this gets fixed.

Thanks for any insights you may have.
