I look at them as tools to help you thoroughly inspect your tags and then you can clean up the tags. iTunes also lets you view and edit tags, but mp3tag is much more thorough and powerful, especially for looking at large chunks of your library at one time. AFAIK iTunes only lets you do it a track at a time, and it doesn't even show you all the tags.

Normally the tags are _in_ the music files, and I assume that's where yours are. And yes, the scanner is only trying to read the tags, not the audio portion of the files.

That last scan was a disaster, and any database produced in the end is useless. It looks as if there are some things about your files that the scanner doesn't like. Certainly some (and likely all) of the problem is the tags, as shown by the invalid replaygain tag error. Fixing that problem means fixing the tags. So you can edit the tags on 20 files, rescan those 20 files, and see if the errors go away. If they do, then apply the same changes as needed to your other 25,683 files, and rescan the whole lot. If the tag edit doesn't fix the 20 files, try a different solution and rescan to see if that fixes. Basically until you know what's actually wrong with the tags/files it's an iterative trial-and-error process. Doing the trial and error on all 25,000 tracks instead of 25 known problem tracks is simply masochism. And doing it on a ReadyNAS Duo is purely nuts. And if your scans were working on 7.5, you may want to just go back to that until the dust is completely settled with 7.6 beta. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87448 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
