Summary	0004944: Artists.Count returns incorrect number
Description	numAlbums = theSongList.Albums.Count numArtists = theSongList.Artists.Count MsgBox("numArtists "&numArtists & Vbcrlf & "numAlbums "&numAlbums) When I put the above in a script which is run whenever the node changes, It always reports numbersrelevant to the PREVIOUS node instead of the new one. It also reports the artist count incorrectly sometimes - It seams that it counts the Album artist and Artist - so if 1 track is in the node with an artist of "Sammy Davis" and an Album Artist of "Various Artists", it will report 2. - this should be seperated into two properties - artists and album artists (or alternatively, only report the artists number and disregard the album artists number).
Additional Information	I have attached my viewMode script which intended to use this. The released version only adds a right click menu to the nodes so you can set default view modes for each node. - But this attached version will give you a message box each time you change nodes withing the library node and you will see the incorrect number reports. relevant code is between
