I decided to shorten my original Post down to something manageable and easy to understand.
I have a problem after having the stereo system upgraded in my car. It can play music from a Thumb Drive so I copied a lot of files over I originally ripped with JRiver 26.
The files were ripped with these settings:
“Song Name- Artist”
And that was all I wanted the file names to say.
Okay, here is a one of my problems:
Each song file was ripped and labeled like this using jRivers settings : “Our Lips are Sealed- The Go Go’s”.
But when it comes up in jRivers Explorer’s Name Category or in the car it comes up as “CD Track 01”.
But the album art is still right.
So it is playing a song with the right name and artist as its file name but comes up as Track 1 on the Display.
Or take the file “TAKE A BOW-MADONNA.flac”.
It shows up as "Take a BO(Bedtime Stories)".
Or the File “Venus-Bananarama.flac”, it shows up as “Track 1” in spite of the fact the album art is correct and it is PLAYING a file named “Venus-Bananarama.flac”,
Or take the file “Walking On Broken Glass-Annie Lennox”- it comes up as
“Walking on Broken Glass ( The Annie Lennox Collection (CD 1))” .
And that is in spite of it being listed in the name column on JRiver Explorer as simply Walking on Broken Glass.
The list goes on and on.
Simply, in a lot of cases the name listed in jRivers Explorer either doesn’t even know the file name of what it is playing or the Name listed in Windows Explorer and what JRiver displays is totally different.
And that misinformation is what comes up when the song is played.
So the problem is both JRiver and the car stereo are reading the tags of the files instead of the file names themselves.
This was never a problem on the Computer since I would click the file in Windows Explorer and play the song and never noticed what JRiver was displaying.
But the car isn’t reading the file names but the tags.
So how do I clear the tags from these files and have them only contain the Name of the Song, the Artist, and the appropriate Clip Art?
