How do I delete an entry I can't open?

[Jared Breland]

Tellico's collection files (.tc) are simply zip files containing an XML 
file, which holds the data.  You can open that file in any editor, 
search for the problematic album, and delete the entry.  For example, I 
have an album named "A View from the Top of the World" that looks like this:

   <entry id="586">
    <title>A View from the Top of the World</title>
    <artists>
     <artist>Dream Theater</artist>
    </artists>
    <SNIP>
   </entry>

Just delete from <entry> to </entry>, save the file, update the copy in 
the tc/zip file, and you should be good to go.

If you're not used to editing files like this, definitely recommend 
making a copy of your original tc file first and testing on that.
