Hi, I’m having some issues when I search for some artists in Spotify. In some cases, album contents seems mixed with no separation, so some albums seems to have 25 songs, and then it has only 8. Example: search for Kasabian (Artist). You have the album iTunes Festival that from the album view begins with the song Underdog. But when you click in the album, begins with shoot the runner in the 13 position.

At first sight, seems it’s mixin g two different records

Selecting a specific album will look up the Spotify album url and grab exactly those tracks. A search or artist lookup will potentially find tracks from a bunch of different but very similar albums (special versions, re-releases, regional ones etc). The javascript code that then groups them into albums isn’t sophisticated enough to do this quite right.

I’ve noticed it too, it’s a bit annoying but not sufficiently so to fix it yet - sorry. Feel free to file a bug at [https://github.com/woutervanwijk/Mopidy-MusicBox-Webclient/issues](https://github.com/woutervanwijk/Mopidy-MusicBox-Webclient/issues) if you want to get the ball rolling. It’s actually a bigger problem in the upcoming new version of mopidy-spotify so it needs addressing ([https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy-spotify/pull/31#issuecomment-78315542](https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy-spotify/pull/31#issuecomment-78315542))
