Hi,

Just started this mp3 lark, when i change the tags in MJ it works fine but if say i go into windows explorer nothing seems to have changed, even if i chage the name in MJ tags, is this correct or is there a way to change the tags then update the file??

Sorry if this is a stupid question but i am a complete newbie.

Check out Settings / Options - General and the tagging options in the middle of the right pane - make sure they are all checked.

Also you have to be using a version of Windows that shows tag info in Explorer (XP?), otherwise what you see is the file name, not the tag.

Tag = info about a song that is part of the song file.
File Name = The name of the file stored on your hard drive.  Ends .mp3, .wav, .oog, etc.

MJ can help you make your file names make sence.  For instance it can rebuild your file names from tag information.

Thanks AlonsoN 2 questions, how do u make XP explorer show tag data and how do u make MJ rebuild my file names from tag information??

2 questions, 1 answer.

I was under the impression that Win-something would/could show tag info in explorer.  I'm running NT and not the guy to ask.

As to the other, select some files, r.click and select Properties.  Then under Tools you will find plenty options to fix/clean up/replace etc. tags.  A very neat and powerful tool.

Hint:  Make a COPY of a handful of files and muck with them until you get it figured out.

there is a fix in the latest MJ, it seems a media tag MJ was saving windows XP explorer did not like it, so it was not showing the tag info.

if you update mj, and then go to the files that do not show, or all and re-save the tags it might\should clear it up.
