The file name itself doesn't change unless you change it. But SbS/LMS should be reading the tags (the file name is irrelevant). UNLESS you are accessing files using the BROWSE MUSIC FOLDER (which does use filenames). But I don't recommend using this approach. By the way, you can use CONVERT > tag to filename option in mp3 tag to clean up your FILENAMES using the corrected tag data. There are "masks" it shows you that you can edit to make the filename match what you want (i.e., track no - title or track no - title -artist, etc.) I assume you are doing a CLEAR AND RESCAN in SbS after the changes to the tags. If the COMPILATION tag is not in extended tags it means that track doesn't have the tag. If you want to add it, select all the tracks from the compilation CD, then right click, select extended tags, click top icon (page with star) with is add field. Then just type the name COMPILATION in teh field name and put a value of "1" in the value box (without the quotes around the one). -- garym Location 1: VB Appliance 6TB (1.10) > LMS 7.7.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) Location 2: VB Appliance 3TB (2.0) > LMS 7.7.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) Office: Win7(64) > LMS 7.7.1 > SqueezePlay Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controllers: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92290 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
