Interesting Problem: Somehow I accidentally posted this in the wrong place
leezer3:
To get the information from the clipboard, open up a text editor (Gedit for example), and select 'Paste' from the edit menu.
If you use 'Paste' in Firefox, it ought to work too. It's good that you can see at least something in the tag window, as it means that the tags are in your files, we just have to figure out why MC isn't seeing them.
I'm not sure why the first letters are missing- It isn't on the ones that I've tried here.....
Let's try another basic step first. Please right-click on any of your files with missing tags, and from this menu select 'Update Tags from File'
MC will then try and read the data into the library from the file.
Let me know if this works.
An quick and dirty fix, is to try the option to 'Lookup Track Info from Online Database'
MC will then try and communicate with YADB to find the information for the files again. This ought to get the data into your library either way, but if you've customised some tags this may be lost. I'm not sure if this is a dealbreaker for you, so I don't necessarily want to recommend it as the first resort.
However, I can't currently reproduce this-
All my Vorbis tags are coming through fine, although I don't have anything from as early as MJ8.

leezer,
1st, this problem is with at least Vorbis and mp3 files.
2nd When I updated files from library, I got 1 files updated (0 failures). But nothing happened.
3rd When I "filled properties from file name, it depended upon the file name. For example, my music folder is in the home directory "dick" so when the file name is /home/dick/music/glory of julie london/my darling, my darling I get music as the artist and The Glory of Julie London as the album.But when the file name is /media/dick/windows/documents and settings/Dick/music/glory of julie london/my darling, my darling.OGG
the artist name and album (Julie London and The Glory of Julie London are properly placed.
4th Here is the tag info via clicking on the left icon on the lower pain of the tag info; this is all I got: glory of julie london/my darling, my darling
I probably have several thousand (of around 11 thousand) files with this problem. Where do we go from here? I have notice that those files with the first letters of the tag info are properly imported and filed. Those without are the ones giving me problems. But even the one I fixed still had the first letters missing from the tag info.
Please remember, Windows MC 19 works properly from this same information
May I send you a file or two or, if you are in CONUS (continental U.S.) phone you for some help here? I have a land line which gives me free calling over the US and an android which does the same.
Feel free to PM me if so.
tlcmd.

Nowhere near the USA ;D
Several thousand is better than it might have been, although obviously too many!
Nothing happening when you attempted to update the tags from the file was somewhat expected, but still a pity; The point of that was to test whether this problem persists when you attempt to perform the update process manually.
As you've got the files working in MC19 for Windows, I think the next thing to try is updating the tags from Windows first, then re-reading them in Linux. I think this is probably MJ8 related, but not sure.
So:
Find a file you're sure doesn't work under Linux, and note it down.
Boot into Windows, and open MC19.
Find this file in the MC19 library.
Right-click on it, and select 'Update Tags from Library'
MC will then re-write the tag information in the file.
Return to Linux, and try 'Update Tags from File'
With any luck the forced refreshing of the tags may well kick things into life. If that doesn't work, then upload a sample file somewhere, but Bob (The JR Linux person) needs to have a look at it really :)

leezer,
Please note that I have a music library in the Windows partition and one in the Linux partition. So, before I have a go at this, should I switch the Linux MC21 to use the Windows music files since Linux lets me cross the partitions.
Thanks,

Leezer,
I tried what you said as well as loading these files from the Windows partition Library. Nothing happened. I sent either Bob or Jim a PM about my problem with Linux MC21, which also goes all the way back to the first build I could download of Linux MC19. No response yet. Could you ask him about this. Also, how can I send anyone a file which posts in Windows MC19 and does not correctly post in Linux MC21.0.5?
Two things are a problem:
1) Why is Linux MC21 treating my files differently from Windows MC19?
2) I bought the MC 21 license over this past weekend and would like to upgrade for the $6 USD difference, but cannot find out how to do this since I would like to update my Windows MC19 to Windows MC21.
Any assistance in accomplishing these goals and getting my Linux program working properly would be appreciated.
Thanks,
tlcmd
