Audio players read "Chromatics" as "The Chromatics" from ID3v2 MP3 tags I've got an album by the band Chromatics in MP3 format with ID3v2 tags. On my computer the band's name appears as "Chromatics" in any audio player (foobar2000, VLC, MP3Tag). On Android, Shuttle Music Player and the default music player display this artist's name as "The Chromatics". Either Android is guessing that it should add the "The" prefix automatically, or there are hidden, incorrect tags somewhere in my files.

The files initially contained ID3v1 tags as well but I've deleted them. I don't know if the error comes from my files or from a database stored by Android. Most importantly I don't know how to fix it. I've already tried deleting the audio files and rebooting, and clearing the data of the "media storage" app and rebooting, but none of this worked.
I've found the problem; I had just one track by this artist in another album, and it was tagged "The Chromatics". "Chromatics" and "The Chromatics" were probably (rightfully) considered as the same artist, but Android didn't pick the right one out of the two to display. I've edited this track's artist tag and now every track by this artist appears correctly tagged.
