Hi, I thought I would post this one on the forum to see if others have had the same problem. When I started ripping music I used Windows Media Player to rip to MP3. When completed the tags "looked ok" and complete. However, since I have put my music library onto a Windows Home Server Version 1, I have noticed that the tags are not correct. I use the W.H.S for my library together with Muso as a front end, so anyone on my home network can use it. Muso found an anomoly that I hadn't seen before; when using just the players (3 x Classic, 1 x Duet, 1 x Touch). There appears to be a 30 character limit on my early tags. Now whether this is a common feature I don't know, but if accessing the music files on the server, the title/artist etc all appear complete, but on playing the files, Muso and the players only see the first 30 characters/spaces on those tags. I have now started to re-rip those early tracks. I have used dbpoweramp for a few years now and there does not appear to be the character limit on those tracks I ripped to MP3 and latterly Flac. The reason I hadn't noticed before, was because the music played correctly and I didn't regularly look at the player in use. Having Muso full screen, made the recurring errors easy to see and going back through my library has shown that early Media Player tracks had this limitation. I suspect I am not the only person who has suffered this problem. I hope this is of help to other users. To rectify the problem, requires a re-rip. I did try to amend the tags, but it didn't work.
