Twonky 4.4.9 doesn't pass Artist name to DLNA device (Onkyo)

I've got the trial version of Twonky 4.4.9 install on a Linkstation Live. When my Onkyo amp plays back my mp3 files, the artist name always shows as "Unknown". The same file via my PC (WMP11) is fine. Any ideas?

I have had the same problem with a Zyxel DMA1000 ever since I had it.

I don't believe there is or ever will be a fix. Hopefully someone will prove me wrong but I doubt it.

With new 5.0.46 they really fix the problem (!) of unknown artist name - but with this version comes other problems (navigation tree not customizable) :(
