Absolutely! So I gave it another shot. I can't run Mp3tag on OSX (can I?), instead I tried deleting the ID3v1 with MediaRage's data changer tool. Selected the directory containing all 3 albums belonging to the missing artist (Sting), checked the Id3v1 tag box, set the option to "none" and clicked update. It said all files were processed. I then deleted and rescanned my library in Slimserver. No change. I tried everything else I could of to remove the ID3v1 tags but no effect. Any other suggestions? Maybe an easy way to confirm that I deleted the tag info. Am I missing something? I guess my next step will be to simply delete the files and rescan them with itunes. Would that make sense? -- crane ------------------------------------------------------------------------ crane's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5791 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34690 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
