Front Row shows artist names twice

Hi,
I seem to have a re-appearing problem. I have an artist that has his name appearing twice in the Front Low artist list although in iTunes both of the albums (2 altogether) are under one artist name. I checked the actual files in iTunes folder and there is only 1 folder with the artist name..puzzled ??
is there a preference or something like that, that could cause the Front Row
so the artsit name twice ? Is there a way to check what artist names are
in a list that iTunes checks when it "guesses" what artist your about to write
in the data field ??

Thanks

I doubt this and why I doubt is that it clearly shows fine in iTunes..both albums are in one folder. The strange thing is that I already had this sorted out but the trouble came back and I have not added anything to that artist's folder.
It's like Front Row has a mind of it's own 🙂 or rather checks some preference of it's own. Does anyone know if there is a way to see what artists names that are listed in the database iTunes uses ? so that one could check if there are multiple names for one artist (mistakes) ?

I do have an iPod but none of these albums are synced there.
The Front Row list is my whole collection on a seperate account.
In fact I'm sure that the reason I have this trouble is this account as
I'm constantly mirroring my whole collection on 2 different Macs. I keep ripping on another Mac and then transering the audio files + the 2 iTunes data files
to the other Mac. I don't think it is misspelling AFAIK this should lead to two almost identically named artist folders and I have only one. Also like I said, I already sorted this out a month ago or so but now it seems to have re-appeared
in Front Row.
