Hello All... Been a SB user for many moons and have started to experience a couple of extremely frustrating things after rebuilding, compiling and sorting my library.
I just finished getting my entire collection carefully archived and tagged with album, artist, genre, etc. and I've got the newest version of the server software and when I do a rescan, everything just gets crazy. Some of the songs show up as No Genre and/or No Artist and/or No Album which indicates to me that the tagging must be bad. I've checked the tags (and retagged to test things) with a number of different tagging programs (The GodFather, MediaMonkey, Moosic, Winamp's tagger, etc.) and everything looks good. ALL the files that show up as No Genre, etc. simply won't play and the SB returns a "Can't Open File For:" error. I can play every single file using Winamp, but Windows Media Player won't play them and I get the Codec error. Additionally, iTunes won't import these same "No Genre, Artist, Album" tracks and simply skips them. I am beginning to think that the problem is a codec issue, but why can Winamp (and Helium Music Manager which I've used to catalogue all music) play these tracks and interpret the tags, but the SB and other programs won't. I've converted (MP3-MP3) some of the songs to test things and that seems to fix the problem, but I really don't want to have to convert (literally), the 1000s of 'bad' songs. Any help would be greatly appreciated and would save me from tearing out all my hair. Thanks much in advance... -- pedaler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pedaler's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2398 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18347 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
