Mp3 Tag Tools 1.2 Problems Zen Mi

So i just recently download mp3 Tag Tools .2 seems to work great! So i was going to tag and organize all my songs on my computer then download them to my Zen Micro so they would be organized. So i opened up my directory which was my music folder on my computer. I Put tags on them organized them and everything. I opened up the Zen explore to upload them to my aen micro, and they hadnt changed at all they stayed the same.

Ive tried playing around with the tags to get both to work or copying v2 to v or vice versa but it wouldnt copy the tags? Am i missing something? or is there another free program that i can use that works better.
I find MP3 Library really straightforward and easy to get to grips with. It's a pretty no nonsense program, but makes light work of v > v2 transfer, as well as other various automated functions.
I've never had an issue with tags while using this.

Mp3 tagging song info rename revert PROBLEM!!!

Hi guys,
I can see that there are loads of people who have the same problem as me. That is... that itunes is a mp3 tagging nightmare. The problem is simple. after editing song information in itunes. sometime later, itunes will happily revert or change the info back to the original file name or only display a portion of it. Im sure you guys know what im talking bout. Someone suggested that u edit the ID3 tags with an external program. However, what i dont understand is that, my itunes last time had no problem whatsoever displaying the correctly edited song information. Suddenly, now it decides to randomly change whatever it feels like. Also, it is extremely troublesome to externally edit the song info. The whole point of itunes is to make it convenient and simple to use. What is the point of having itunes only to have to use another program to edit the info??? I have seen numerous other threads with the same problem as me. What frustrates me is that... why is Apple not doing anything bout it? and why arent they posting any solutions or answers as to why their fantastic software is behaving like a spoilt kid. Why are there no answers. It is NOT a small program. I have about 10000 songs and countless CDs. You cannot imagine what a headache it is to have spent months and months of carefully and meticulously editing the song info in itunes to perfection, only to start it up one day and find that 5000 songs are incorrectly named.
For Apple, this is just simply unacceptable.

Hey guys, i got this from the WMP help file...
"Update my music files (WMA and MP3 files) by retrieving missing media information from the Internet
Specifies that the Player automatically obtain and update missing media information for music files that are added to or are in Media Library, if the information is available. By default, the music files in your My Music folder are added to Media Library.
The Player attempts to update any missing media information in your music files by sending data about the files to a database operated by WindowsMedia.com if this check box is selected and you perform any of the following actions:
Use Media Library for the first time after updating the Player
Add files to Media Library by searching your computer
Add files to monitored folders, such as My Music
For example, if you have music files that contain the artist name but not the album name, the Player adds the album name to the file after retrieving the information from the database.
The Player also adds album art to files and music folders in your My Music folder."
In light of this information, wouldnt it be fair to say that WMp will only rename the files if they are physically added by the user in WMP? If i am not using WMP to play my mp3s, then why would WMP still be tracking and altering the file names?

Zen 4GB inoperable after MP3 Recovery Tool

*Zen 4GB inoperable after MP3 Recovery Tool' I was getting the intermittent white screen problem with my Zen 4GB. Tech support instructed me to use the MP3 Recovery Tool. After running the tool, the player is inoperable. It turns on, but the screen is always white or gray and no interface is displayed. The blue light near the power switch turns on. Reset does not help. After running the recovery tool a 3rd time, Creative Zen Media Explorer recognizes the player when connected, and I can browse the media that is installed. I couldn?t even do that on the first two tries. Currently I am unable to play any files because I don?t have a user interface to navigate.
The support email instructed me to create an online RMA if the recovery tool did not work. I have attempted this numerous times and always receive a message that there is an error. No specifics. I tried replying to the original support email, but got no response. I tried sending a new email through the support website several times, but don?t even receive the automated response. It is not showing up in my email service?s spam folder. I have received no reply for the past several weeks, but I wonder if they are actually receiving my messages.
Any suggestions? My warrantee runs out in about a month and I want to get this resolved while it is still possible.

Hello Buckaroobonzai,
Welcome to Creative forums!
This doesn't look good. White screen is a symptom of a hardware problem. I suggest you contact tech support by phone as soon as possible before your warranty expires. Check your PM.

MP3 tags problem? Album list on Touch

When I select Music>Albums, the listing contains the songs on the album, instead of just the album name. Not all albums do this.
I used MP3 Tag to edit these tags. But some other albums I tagged the same way work ok?
Help?

It's not clear what the symptom is, you select the Album menu and you see a list of songs, but not all albums do this? That makes it sound like you see a list of songs mixed in with album names? Maybe you can clarify this ...
In any case, make sure that the albums that you're having problem with have album names -- don't leave Album blank, use "N/A - (artist name)" or something like that.

Updated ID Tags won't transfer to Zen Vision

Not a critical problem, just a pain ...
If I update any ID Tags, whether using Auto Tag Cleaner (which is brilliant if slightly slow) in Creative Media Toolbox or Real Player or Windows Explorer, when I resync all I get is "File already exists" error message and the file stays the same on the MP3 player.
I have a Zen Vision:M version .62.02e.
I sync using the Zen Vision:M Explorer option "Synchronize Media and Outlook Data" V5.20.2, Synch Manager V5.20.08.
Am I doing something wrong or missing an option somewhere. Surely I can't be expected to delete from the player every file that I update a tag on before it will resynch!?!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards.
Jerry.

Do you want to try mp3tag editor instead?

ITunes cannot read ID3 tags written by Perl module MP3::Tag?

Greetings,
Just trying to re-arrange ID3 information in a large set of MP3 files. Before I run the following Perl script, iTunes can read the ID3 tagging information. After writing ID3 inform ation to the MP3, iTunes no longer reads any tagging information from the MP3.
Does anyone have any information regarding this? There is some cryptic information in the MP3::Tag POD regarding setting the "id3v23_unsync" option but that doesn't seem to alter the impact on iTunes at all. Windows and other tag readers seem to be able to read the all ID 3v1 and ID3v2 tags just fine (including the altered fields) after running the following script.
Thanks for any suggestions/guidance anyone can provide.
Description: the following program takes an MP3 filename as input.
Action: It appends the value in the Album field to front of the TITLE Field. That's it! Easy!
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use MP3::Tag;
MP3::Tag-> config(id3v23_unsync=>FALSE);
my $filename = $ARGV[0];
$mp3 = MP3::Tag-> new($filename);
@info=$mp3-> autoinfo;
@albnum = split(/_/, $info[3]);
$frame = $mp3-> {ID3v2}->get_frame("TIT2");
print $frame;
$mp3-> {ID3v1}->title("$albnum[0] $info[0]");
$mp3-> {ID3v2}->change_frame("TIT2","$albnum[0] $info[0]");
$mp3-> {ID3v1}->write_tag();
$mp3-> {ID3v2}->write_tag();
@info=$mp3-> autoinfo;
print $info[0]; //print ID3v1 TITLE field
$frame = $mp3-> {ID3v2}->get_frame("TIT2");
print $frame; //print ID3v2 Title2 field
$mp3-> close();
Thanks!

SOLVED
Changing the config entry (Line 3 in original listing) to:
MP3::Tag->config("id3v23_unsync",0);
fixed the problem with iTunes.
NOTE: This means that iTunes version 7.x still has the synchronization problem alluded to in the documentation (POD) for this Perl module. I just had the syntax wrong to set the workaround parameter.
That aside, iTunes 7.2 works quite nicely with the modified MP3. Artwork (even though this was a modified and obscure (and legal) Bible audio, it found additional information about the MP3 in the online database).
Kind Regards,

Can MediaSource display MP3 file name instead of MP3 tag information? ; Playlist default locat

?I am using Creative MediaSource Player 5.0.38 as an MP3 player on my computer:?. Can we get MediaSource to display mp3 file names instead of mp3 tag information when file is being played as part of a Playlist???2. Playlists are stored in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Creative\Media Database\
or if not logged in as Administrator:
C:\Documents and Settings\[name of your account]\Application Data\Creative\Media Database\?Unlike with Creative PlayCenter, default location of Playlists cannot be changed in Windows registry.?Is there any?way to change Playlist default location?
??3. If Shuffle play mode is selected, MediaSource will still always play the first file on the Playlist? and only then switch to shuffle mode. I found a workaround for this because old PlayCenter 2 had this problem, is this a known bug that they still haven't fixed after all these years???Message Edited by c627627 on 04-6-200706:33 PM

Hi,

A fast automatic tag fixer for owners of Zen and other tag based players

Fast automatic tag fixer for owners of Zen and other tag based players.
I've written a simple freeware utility for fixing mp3 tag discrepancies. It is intended for use before uploading a bunch of albums to a tag-only media player. There's like a million of such programs out there, but this one is based on my exprience with the Creative Zen player, so it could be useful for fellow owners of the device.
First, the utility scans mp3 album folder tree looking for tag inconsistencies and suggesting corrections. After that you can review (and cancel/modify if needed) the corrections and apply the changes.
The detected tag errors can be corrected either manually or semi-automatically with the integrated Discogs search. There's a tuneable compilation processing feature, which helps keep compilation albums in one piece on your player.
You can check the utility out here http://taghycardia.narod.ru/english.html
Feature suggestions, bug reports welcomed.

The free program has been vastly updated since the last post.
Now, it can find and embed cover art for mp3 albums automatically, or it can do the opposite, remove cover images from mp3 files if you need to save space on your player or mobile device. In addition, there is an ability to correct wrong track order automatically and get exact tracklists from Discogs.
The URL is updated, too: http://taghycardia.info

Any good Free mp3 tag editor programs (vista compat)

Are there any 3rd party mp3 tag editors around. Prefer one that does mass processing where it knows the file format "artist - trackname" and adds tags?

Beano wrote:
MP3 Library doesn't fall in?the "good" category IMO :|
Any other app which I should try ?
Tag editors are very much a personal choice. MP3 Library isn't flashy, but it's **bleep** powerful.
Others are listed here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.

Lightweight library for reading and writing mp3-tags

Hi,
I'm currently evaluating libraries for reading and writing mp3-tags. All the projects I found so far where not maintained for a couple of years.
My question:
Is there currently a library, which one could call standard for this purpose
Cheers
Jonny

All the projects I found so far where not maintained for a couple of years.It may either be dead, or it may be so finished and free of bugs that no maintenance is needed anymore.
If you're occurring problems with it and if it is open source you can always consider taking a fork for own development.
Is there currently a library, which one could call standard for this purposeNo one comes to mind.

ITunes mp3 tags

Hi everybody. I've noticed a problem in iTunes since some versions ago. I write all my mp3 tags, but iTunes clear, in some albuns, the number of the last track (track 01 of 16, for exemple). The number 16 is cleaned in all the files of some albuns in the moment I play the music. Do somebody know how can I fit it? Thanks a lot.

Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

MP3 tags work in iTunes 11 but not in Windows 7 - Fixed

I tagged a bunch of MP3 downloads in iTunes 11, but the artist/track/album and other information did not show up in Windows 7 file information or in Windows Media Player.
The fix that worked for me was to convert to MP3 tags to ID3 tags to version 1.0.
Steps:
-Open iTunes
-Find the songs you want to convert in the Songs view
-Right click the songs
-Choose Convert ID3 Tags...
-Check the box for ID3tag version
-Choose v1.0
-Click OK
Your mileage may vary, of course, but this worked for me and all of the embedded info was properly updated. Note that I did not have album art and I don't know if rolling back the version will affect that. Good luck.

Thanks turingtest2.
I tried your None>2.3 path and it appears to be a superior method to my original suggestion.
I hadn't noticed, but the track #s did not come through to Windows using my original method. They come through when converting to None then to 2.3. Your method, as you note, also provides the advantage of longer field lenghts. I am sure there are other advantages to 2.3 over 1, if nothing other than it's closest to the most up to date standard.
I tried converting to 2.4, but none of the data comes through to Windows.
Here is a revised set of steps. Note that this method will clear artwork.
-Open iTunes
-Find the songs you want to convert in the Songs view
-Right click the songs
-Choose Convert ID3 Tags...
-Check the box for ID3tag version
-Choose None
-Click OK
-Choose Convert ID3 Tags... again
-Check the box for ID3tag version
-Choose v2.3
-Click OK
Last comment: There may be better solutions using other software such as id3tagit, but the solution above works right from iTunes.

ITunes 10.5.2.11 MP3 tag import not working correctly

Hi,
I recently had a hard drive crash so I'm starting from a clean install of Windows XP SP3.
Installed iTunes 10.5.2.11.
When importing MP3's into iTunes now sometimes iTunes reads the MP3 tags correctly. Sometimes iTunes ignores the tags and inserts the file name into the artist field as shown in the image below.
The same MP3's worked perfectly with previous versions of iTunes...although they were all automatic updates of iTunes and not clean installs (if that might make a difference). The same MP3 works fine with VLC or WMP with all the tagging correct. Now it is roughly 50/50 whether they import correctly or not. I've run the MP3's through MP3val and they come out clean. I am confident the MP3 files are correctly tagged.
The MP3's were either ripped with iTunes or are bought through eMusic/iTunes. Even with bought MP3's, with eMusic you couldn't be sure the producer would tag the files properly so I have put them through Musicbrainz tagger.
If I have imported an MP3 into iTunes and it has messed up the meta data, I have deleted the MP3s from iTunes, taken that MP3 into Musicbrainz, re-written the tags and then reimported the file. Unless iTunes is restarted it still gives me the corrupted meta data.
However, as you can imagine, with several years worth of eMusic library and my CD collection worth of MP3's, it is a very tedious process to go through each album, retag everything, then restart iTunes and continue until it finds another set of tags it cannot import correctly.
Any ideas what is causing this as it only seems to have been an issue now with this version of iTunes from a clean install?

How can I edit my mp3 tag information?

A few weeks ago we started our first podcast, Your RV Podcast. We've been learning as we go, and "duh," discovered we've been doing our mp3 tags incorrectly. How can I go in and edit my episode mp3 tag info? When I bring the episode up, click on "file" and get the drop down menu, the field for "Get Info" is gray, and I can't even access the info. Thanks for your help!

Drag the local copy of your file into iTunes, so that it will appear in the 'Music' list. 'Get info' should enable you to access the image and other tags; change them there, then re-upload to the server. Note however that when you subscribe to the feed in iTunes the only tags it reads are the image and the duration. All other information comes from the feed.
