the bug had a large scope, but by the end of it, ie. the last handful of comments, it was mainly about files with no tags at all, since that seems to be the remaining problem case. perhaps wavs are handled differently or perhaps they were close enough for your values in "guess tag formats" in settings to pick them up. OR, maybe andy fixed the code as per my suggestion, which was to simply use the whole filename for artist / title if no tags at all were found and guess tag formats failed, although i knida doubt he did this. but in my experiments with files with no tags, the scanner scans them, but then does not display them anywhere in SBS. i don't think i tried BMF to see what happened if one did that on a tagless file, would be interesting to know.

I possible out of wav files for the moment. > > My collection is not broken enough for this kind of experiments Andy made a lot of fixes to the way tags are looked at by SBS, so he fixed a lot of the problems i found, however the TOTALLY tagless issue still exists. thats why i found your post curious... if the wav was truly tagless, assuming wavs are treated like mp3s and the like, it should NOT have shown up at all, (again assuming guess tag format didn't work), and it would be interesting to me if the reason it did show up was b/c of browsing the music folder, as opposed to a traditional scan. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbr (parent's home) - sbs 7.5b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 35k mp3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72923 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
