when an album is using »« in the album tag it doesn't scrobble an album when the track is now playing but once the track has finished it scrobbles with the album.

[vjeranc]

This might have something to do with <albumArtist corrected="1">Gustav Mahler</albumArtist>. Album artist changed from semicolon delimited list Mahler; Leonard Bernstein, New York Philharmonic to just a single entry. The display of the album fails for first request but then succeeds for the second scrobble request.

I think a fix could be to resend now playing if server responds with corrected="1" using the values sent by the server.

It is a bit of a shame that the server you're using does not use its corrections to display "now playing".
