Title: JRiver Conversion Cache and tags
Post by: Vincent Kars on November 11, 2013, 02:22:54 am

Due to all kind of problems with the sync to my Android phone I decided to make a fresh start.
Cleared the SD on the phone
Cleared the JRiver Conversion Cash

After this I synced a playlist to my phone.
Closed/Opened JRiver and opened the device
This starts a check of the sync

Much to my annoyance, tracks already on the device are reported as “In Queue”

Much to my surprise, the genre tag is changed.
Does a conversion to MP3 changes the genre tag?

Might this be the reason why the sync reports the same track as “In Queue” and as “On Device”?

Using an editor, I opened the MP3 on the Phone

ID3   _vTIT2   4   Sonate En Si Bemol H513 (Wq77) - 1Allegro Di Molto TPE1      Amandine Beyer Edna Stern TPE2      Amandine Beyer/Edna Stern TALB   ;   Bach CPE: Sonates Pour Violon Et Pianoforte; Beyer, Stern TRCK      1 TPOS      0 TYER      2005 TCON      (03.07) Chamber Music>Duet TCOM   (   Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel (1714-1788) TPUB         Zig-Zag APIC

No "Dance" for genre in sight

There is also a  JRInfo.xml on the phone

Here the genre is Dance and this is what is displayed in the sync panel in JRiver
Can it be that this explains why JRiver does not sync but tries to copy the entire playlist each time I try to sync?
