Why are the names of the songs incomplete?
« on: January 25, 2022, 04:53:46 am »
Can you explain this? This happens with lots of albums (haven't tried with all my albums #1361) . First picture is from File Explorer, second picture is from JRiver. As you can see names of some tracks are incomplete. Why?

In what way do you think they are "incomplete" the last column in the 2nd image clearly shows that they are complete.

Looks to me like you import rules are "correctly" extracting the Track Name (column 1), the Artist (column 2) and Album Name (column 3) when they are imported.

The names will depend on what is in the metadata of your files. There is only so much it can do if the data is inconsistent.
But MC has many tools to let you fix the names to whatever kind of format you want them to be.

Thanx Hendrik,

It is odd that some music programs showed the titles ok. Anyway I have now updated the metadata of all my songs. I have used different programs over the years so I can't blame any particular program for the bad data. I have over 1300 albums so it took some time to accomplish this task. Of Course most of the folders (one / album) were updated automatically but still I had to do some manual work too. I hope that everything works well now.

FYI, I use a program called MP3TAG to fix any anomalies I come across but, as mentioned, MC's tagging function works quite nicely as well.

Yes I used it today to finish my job. Most of the albums were updated by program MusicBrainz Picard.
