it seems like this is probably my tenth thread on this here over the past 5 years or so, maybe venting is therapeutic. i seem to be endlessly fighting with squeezebox (my touch this year) to correctly recognize tags. i made a compilation cd tonight. i erased all existing tags and retagged with mp3tag. now, laughably, instead of one cd with 16 songs in it, i have 16 separate cd's of one song each. all the tags have the identical artist, album name, blah blah blah everything is correct.
now the reason why i started this thread is not that i need help fixing this. oh no, i will be able to fix this after spending YET ANOTHER night of futzing with it. instead of actually, oh i don't know, spending time with my family or something. the question is this: if i load this same album (or other mistagged albums) into anything else i can find - winamp, mp3tag, itunes, bliss, subsonic and probably 20 others i haven't yet tried, they ALL CAN READ THE TAGS PERFECTLY!! but squeezebox touch? absolute fail, time and time again. why/what is the fundamental difference that squeezebox is using to decipher tags that gives it such a hard time when almost every other source on earth can do it without a problem? is this being looked into by the coders because this has been going on for years now. -- ratso Salk HT-2TL's - Odyssey Khartago - Supratek Chardonnay Preamp - Slim Devices Touch - Panamax M4300PM power conditioner - Cables by Me! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ratso's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11493 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85771 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
