Bingo - thanks! I hadn't realised that mp3tag had such an option... even now, I missed it first time round, and only checked the "wrong" APE box - there are two in the prefs dialog, and I missed the one under "mpeg". Once I could see "Anouar Brahem", I simply changed it to "Brahem, Anouar", and saved. And it didn't work - until I -also- set the option to -write- APE tags too. (This seemed easier than wiping and restoring the non-APE tags.) I went through and replaced every "little-endian" artist this way. Rescanned SS, and it seemed to work.

At random, I used dBPowerAMP to look at Ralph Towner's Solo Concert; and was dismayed to see the artist listed as "Ralph Towner". So I went back to SS: no "Ralph Towner" in the Artist view; great! But when I zoom into an individual track, I see it listed as by "Ralph Towner & Towner, Ralph". Hmm (again). Maybe I will have to clean out those spare tags after all! But it will have to wait - I've closed mp3tag down and can't be bothered to wait for ages while it scans my music hierarchy again. (I couldn't see anything in the prefs to stop it from doing this each time it starts.) -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27848 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
