I experienced the same problem with multiple dashes in file names (of WAV-files) [perhaps only with spaces around the dash].
So it seems that
MM doesn’t support file names with more than one dash in it, like: “<artist> - <first part of track title> - <second part of track title>”.
Also,
MM doesn’t support track titles with a dash in it, like: “<first part of track title> - <second part of track title>”. See
http://www.songs-db.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2134.
I experienced problems with dashes when ripping a music CD (when there was a dash in the track title), when using freedb (when the track title of freedb contains a dash), when editing track titles (when adding a dash to a track title). In these situations, even when the tracks are saved to the library, the information of the tracks in the library is being changed automatically by MM (when removing the track information from the screen, and after that looking at it again; or after closing and reopening MM). This all is very annoying, because I have many track titles with dashes in them. (Earlier I thought this was a minor problem, but now I think MediaMonkey is rather useless for people who have dashes in their track names.)
It would be nice, if the way in which MM interprets dashes in file names and track names, could be changed in the Options of MM. Then, the current way in which MM interprets dashes could be turned off to solve the problems which are discussed here.
