I would strip the garbage from them, change lowercase, and make the file name simply Artist - Song Title Recently I realized many discographies have live albums, and, when I play them on my computer, or want to sort them as they are on the CD, I can't because they no longer contain the track number. Some time ago, I used Magic File Renamer to rename the files. I can understand if an entire discography has file names of a specific format, but each directory is different. Had I read the preceding messages in this thread beforehand, I would have looked at the other fields, as well as the Artist and Album categories on the Fuze to see if they were in error as well, bit I didn’t.My gripe is the people who rip the CDs have horrible file naming convention. Maybe there is a problem with handling the numeric type genres? (Both formats are legal in ID3v2.3, in fact they can be combined as “(2)Country” ). Again, peeking inside shows MP3Tag writes the genre as the full text string (“Blues”, “Classic Rock”, etc.). Running them through MP3Tag (no changes, just select the files and hit the “Save” button) fixed them so they work fine on the Fuze. WinAmp reads these fine, but the Fuze did not. Peeking inside with a hex editor, I noticed that the ID3v2 genre field used the “(xx)” notation (xx is: 0=Blues, 1=Classic Rock, 2=Country, etc., same values as ID3v1), and the files had a proper IDv1 tag at the end. I noticed that all songs I downloaded from get dumped into the “unknown” genre. Message Edited by Corilof on 06-05-2008 05:56 AM The problem is, they are tagged (in both ID3v1 and v2) with an artist name AC/DC, but only the AC shows up on my fuze. I have no idea what’s causing this problem or how I fixed it…Īnother problem I have, I don’t know if any of you can help me with this, but I have a few songs by AC/DC that I want to put on my Fuze. I just went in Winamp, copied and re-pasted my tags and it displayed fine in the Fuze after. ![]() I had the same problem with a couple of sings and I did the same thing to fix it. all it seems to require is a minor change, like type an extra letter into the track and album tags, delete, and save. No dice, even when using the id3kill on the tags via MSC… but i found that if i go in and hand edit the tags via MSC/winamp, it reads them correctly. I’ll try id3kill and hopefully that’ll solve my problem. I have the problem that my Fuze displays ID3v1 tags (and cuts off song names and artist names due to its limited size) instead of using ID3v2 tags. try a program called “id3kill” and remove only id3v1 tags. I believe that if there is a conflict between id3v1 and id3v2, the fuze will not display properly, as it does not know which id3 version to take priority with. I’m just wondering if anyone else has seen this wrote: i haven’t done any deep research into what connects the “bad” tags to each other (the AutoTag feature, maybe?). everything plays fine, just the albums and track names are messed up (artists listed correctly). after uploading some of these revised MP3s this morning (through MSC), though, i noticed that some albums are reading as “Unknown” on the fuze, and after looking at individual tracks, i notice gibberish characters (and some japanese, oddly enough) for the track name. ![]() i’m using winamp (5.63, current version) as my comp’s MP3 software, and sometimes use it’s “AutoTag” feature to fill out the tag info. In the past week, i’ve been slowly going through my collection to edit tags on songs so that they suit my preferences (taking “the” from the beginning of artist names, etc.) for easier search on my fuze. so this is my first player that uses MP3 tags for organizing by album, artist, etc. ![]() ![]() my previous player was an old sony walkman (~4 years old) that sorted uploaded files by the windows file structure i had them in (ahh, the old days…).
