I know some of you use Ephpod with Ipod's. For my 20GB Windows version, Ephpod stops during the synchronzation for about 100 of 800 songs and brings up a dialog box to modify the tag. When I look at the fields, the common thing for these 100 files is that the Artist is missing. I have everything tagged in MJ and set to update tags. Also, when I look at these files in Explorer, the Artist shows up fine. But, still Ephod stops, asks to modify and Artist is blank. This makes for a very slow transfer of songs and there is no way in ephpod to skip this modify dialog. It stops and prompts 100 out of 800 transfers!
The common attribute I see with these songs is that the Title tag has a "-" in it. For example the Title tag = "Bruce Springteen - I'm on Fire" and this would choke during import, bring up modify and the Artist field would be blank even though Artist in MJ reads "Bruce Springsteen". I am going to try to use MJ tonight to remove the "-" somehow and hope this works. Again, it just appears to be songs where the title has a dash in it. Lastly, I seem to be able to import only ~800 songs at a time even though the folder contains ~2500.
Any comments on what is going wrong here?
Thanks,
Joe
