I've also had significiant problems with albums that are tagged well enough for iTunes and Windows Media player, but don't show up in the Slim Server except by song name but No Artist, no Album. This was not an issue with the previous implementation of Slimserver.
Since iTunes organizes the files with their names, Slimserver can figure out the song name based on the file, but it has none of the more detailed tag info. This is the case on my Windows XP box, but when I use the exact same files (on an external drive) on my Macintosh, Simserver works as intended. I therefore think there's a problem in the Windows implementation that's not present in the Mac version. Most of my MP3's were all ripped on a Mac using a LAME encoder. Why some of these work on the PC, and other's don't is beyond me. One thing I've noted is that lost MP3 tag info happens more with albums that have multiple disks. I have a habit of identifying the disk in a series in the tags, (e.g. 1 of 2), but I also include that information in the album title (e.g. "Physical Graffiti (1/2)" which gets translated in the file folder structure to "Physical Graffiti 1_2" I also took a look at the ID3 tags, they are v2.2 or v2.3. DB Power Amp sees the tag info as well and I don't have multiple tag versions in the files like other people have mentioned. --Matt -- mattnadler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mattnadler's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7797 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27848 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
