Hi Noah,

I had the same problem last week and Linus investigated it for me and found
it was related to my ID3 tags - specifically the year. He fixed my
particular problem and committed it to CVS.

Try a daily build, and if that doesn't fix it report back to the list. I'm
sure Linus is interested in tracking down another one!

Cheers,

c0utta
