Title: Lost library tags...not sure why
Post by: musicmahn on April 24, 2022, 11:46:42 am

So I'm not sure what happened.  I have all of my music separated into folders by giving them the JRiver "Grouping" library tags.
Music is on a NAS and JRiver is running on the PC.  I also use a Windows tablet in my living room to select songs etc.  Yesterday when I played some tunes I noticed that a ton of my music has lost it's "Grouping" tag and is sitting in an undefined folder.  Any clue as to how that could happen?  I was thinking perhaps some weird sync between the MC running on the PC and the Tablet, but I don't do any of my tagging work on the tablet ever.

I can rebuild all this so it is what it is, I'm just wondering if I did something to cause it.
Also wondering if I should try a library backup restore, is there really any harm in trying?  I just don't want to make matter worse for myself.
Thx!

Any ideas?
Especially wondering if I can try to restore a library backup without harming anything.
thank you :)

Yes.  Make a backup before you do it.
