I don't think it will help, but please feel free to test it.

Change your write settings for id3v2 to id3v2.4 UTF-8 and save your changes again.

If you use Mp3tag and ensure that you write your metadata in one of the ID3v2 versions I don't see why this should not work for you Android App. Please make sure that you are using either the ID3v2.3 or the ID3v2.4 version for your MP3 files in File -\> Options -\> Tags -\> Mpeg:

Please let us know if SONOS support responds to you or releases a new version displaying your ALBUM content.

Last thing you could test is changing the filename and load with sonos again.

We had a thread about a car stereo which had various ways of showing files.

> I opened the sd card in the car and it is totally out of sequence. However when I open the sd card on my computer it is in sequence!? Images above are the file from the sd card as seen on my computer Next one is the original file from my computer Here is the images when the sd card is opened in my car Totally out of order. Is there something I can do with mp3tag to get these in order or do I need to use another program??
Could it help to change the player's display category?

Like most players, they keep a library of information about your music files. Sonos shows that this has to be told to update if you make any changes to your library outside of the Sonos environment. Have you done that after making the changes in mp3tag?

I update the library. It makes no difference whatsoever.

Well we can see the data is clearly there in the file. And on your PC the Sonos app is working correctly. So for whatever reason the Sonos app on Android is not working correctly. I would report this back to Sonos and wait for a fix. Not much else mp3tag can do in this case.

I thought that we had established that earlier. I think Sonos need to review this issue but from the dialogue I have had with their support team, I doubt it. They are telling me I have to make sure my tag fields are properly poulated....hence my query to mp3Tag to see if you knew what they are talking about. I'm sure I don't.

If the player has a function to add an album as metadata, then it would be easiest to check this file with MP3tag.
Does any file show an album title at all?
If so: what is the difference between this file and the others?
