The CVS version of MythMusic is slightly broken at the moment.

It all depends on what version of the musicmetadata table you have
in the MySql database. That depends on whether you have used the
MFD/MDE or not.

All you have to do to fix it is change the value of the
currentDatabaseVersion
in the MythMusic version of dbcheck.cpp from

const QString currentDatabaseVersion = "1001";

to

const QString currentDatabaseVersion = "1002";

then recompile etc. The next time you run mythmusic the musicmetadata
table will be updated to the new version required by the latest cvs version
of MythMusic.

There is a patch from Colin Guthrie that adds compilation album stuff
to MythMusic that also includes some updates to the musicmetadata
table and the dbcheck.cpp file that should also fix the problem once it has
been applied to the CVS.
