Hi All,
I am new to MP3 Tag, my home music is stored in a NAS and streamed to my Hi Fi, I have a usb stick with MP 3 versions for my car, I also have some real time recorded albums using Audacity them run through MP3 to tag, one of these album files is a problem, I can see it on my PC also on the usb stick but when I use it in the car and search Rolling Stones the album is not in the main folder but if I search the album name it shows up plays and displays fine, I have tried to attach a screen shot of the tracks.
Any help would be welcome.
Steve

If you can find the music files on your USB stick (attached to your Windows-PC), there is not much that Mp3tag can help you.
You would have to search in the manual of your car radio modell if you can find any hints about allowed subdirectories for example. Or if it tell you, what kind of information the car radio modell can read from your music files.
Then you could compare a file that works fine as you expect on your car radio and compare it with one file from your Rolling Stones album. What are the differences if you load the two songs into Mp3tag and press Alt + T (View -\> Extended Tags)?

I would check the files for consistency - Audacity sometimes produces strange files.

Hi All,
Thanks for the advice, I found the issue was in Album Artist :Rolling Stones, The: but in Contributing Artists :The Rolling Stones: so a quick name edit and all albums are in the same folder.
