Manual Workaround is to go into each artist and update the "Title" to remove underscores. This can take a lot of time for a large music library.

Can't reproduce with this folder structure.

testmusic/Marina_and_The_Diamonds/Electra_Heart/02.Primadonna.flac

However, my music is fully tagged. Can you confirm that your music is ID3 tagged?

[rwrozelle]

There aren't any tags. My music library is created using abcdef on my Linux server. I've traced the issue to this. When the Artist metadata was auto-created, the Title attribute has underscores. But when the Album metadata is auto-created the People attribute (a list) was created without underscores. So my fix was to manually remove the underscores from the Title attribute. Also found that "-" also has to be updated in Title to get the album match. I've had this library for a while, so not sure if this is an original issue, or showed up as part of unstable.
