Title: Yahoo Music not saving tags correctly into MC
Post by: tomslaya on December 06, 2006, 12:33:28 pm

I have a scheduled task to run to import all music saved in Yahoo.  This is a problem because I only want to use Yahoo to buy the songs and MC for everything else. 

All of the tag info is getting copied from Yahoo but some of the Genre's are not getting copied at all.  This is only happening on about 50% of the songs saved.  If I go into the "Edit song" menu in Yahoo and click the check box next to the song genre, then go into MC and update Library from tags it appears.  I know this is a problem with Yahoo but didn't know if anyone had seen this or had a solution.

Thanks

i figured out what it was.  Yahoo only exports the WMA tag.  So if there is no Genre in the WMA tag, its not present when imported into MC.  But if you check the box next to the Field(Genre) in the YMJ edit song screen, it converts the WMA tag to mp3.

maybe it does not chnge the wma tag to mp3, but it may add id3 to the file.

I wonder is there now a wma tag and also a mp3 tag.
