Title: Tags Keep Changing
Post by: cricks on December 19, 2003, 12:43:27 pm

Another newbie question...
I am pretty picky about the way Im organizing my music and editing my tags.  After ripping my CDs organizing my tags in the format I like, sometimes I notice that some of the song's tags have changed to a different format.  
For instance, I will rip and entire cd and the tags will be organized correctly.  Then I notice later that in the song name colum the song name will be artist-song name and its for only a few songs on the CD?  Is this a bug or do I have an preference set incorrectly?
Thanks for any help.

Cricks,

It's a longtime bug in MC/MJ...it doesn't write the MP3 tags correclty sometimes when ripping, but does store them correctly in its internal database.  The way to make sure your MP3 tags have what you see in MC is to select all the files you just ripped and do a right-click Library Tools > Update tags (from library) each time.  This will insure what your are seeing on the screen (in MC) is what is written to the MP3 file's tag data.

Good luck!
