Crashes after media scanning: IllegalArgumentException: about auxio HOT 3 OPEN

Have you tried disabling "Intelligent Sorting" in Settings -> Content? You should be able to do this before it crashes on a fresh install that's still taking awhile to load music @fungs. This would allow me to confirm what I think it is, that apparently the name comparison code that I do have really does require me to ensure that the comparison and equality results are 100% consistent.

@OxygenCobalt, I can confirm that the intelligent sorting (excluding articles etc.) option seems to cause this issue. I disabled it on a fresh install, not running into that issue and enabled it again, which caused the same error.

Alright, this implies something I feared would happen. The issue is that intelligent name comparison plays a tad loose with the sorting contract. If you have a name like "FooBar" and "Foo Bar", the comparator will consider those equal, but the actual equality check won't. I thought this was okay after reading the comparator contract documentation, but apparently not. Thanks for reporting this @fungs.
