Here goes. iTunes only alters your tags if you choose a couple of options (and, at least for me, the default upon installation/upgrade has always been off, i.e your tags not touched)
Open iTunes preferences (Ctrl + , on a PC). On the playback tab, untick sound check. then under advanced untick keep itunes music folder organised. then it cannot and will not alter your tags. It sounds to me like you've got more than one tag scheme present in your files, and always have had - I guess what's happened is itunes has simply saved your tags using its default tagging scheme (I think that's id3 v2.2 for itunes) Try this - ditch tag & rename, it masks your tag types, and won't display everything that's truely there. you need to remove the sound check tags from your files - use mp3tag for this - as they'll screw up SC's handling of replaygain. then set mp3tag to read all tag types (id3 v1, id3 v2.3, ape) but only write id3 v2.3. test this on a small section of your library before doing the whole lot, and "clear library and rescan everything" SC to see if it's fixed it. And, if you don't already, back up your files so this sort of thing doesn't matter! -- moley6knipe WinXP Pro SP3 > dBpoweramp Reference 13.1 > SqueezeCenter 7.4 24614 > Squeezebox 3 > ears ------------------------------------------------------------------------ moley6knipe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10014 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64799 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
