Hi, This is probably basic stuff but as a pretty non technical guy I need some help! My Sonicorbiter did not recognise the new Rolling Stones CD (Hackney Diamonds) on CD import (and still does not - retrying the import does not work as the album is seen as the same unidentified album) and decided it…

Load all the files into MP3tag. Select all the files. In the tag panel: fill all the fields that get the same data (probably ALBUMARTIST, ARTIST, ALBUM, YEAR) and save the modification. If the tracks are already in the correct order, apply the track numbering wizard. Finally, select each file in…

Thanks ..will try that tomorrow!

Hi, This will seem a silly question...but here goes. I have followed your steps, using MP3Tag to correct the data for the unidentified album...but how do I put this data into the files in the Sonicorbiter? Have I missed a step or is there something else I need to do? In the Sonicorbiter this is st…

If the player does not show the metadata but MP3tag does, then I think this is mainly a problem of the player. It could be that the player does not support the file format at all (flac). Or the player needs a trigger to update its library and re-read the files. Some kind of cache sometimes interfe…

From my first post you will have noticed that all the music files in the Sonicorbiter are FLAC. Inspecting the album/track names in Sonicorbiter database shows the format "name" (not the quotes) for these. Looking at the Sonicorbiter data shows logged at the time of editing in MP3Tag. So I have inse…

See the documentation on how to change (also) the filename and folder name: [image] Rename Files and Import Tags from Files Documentation Mp3tag provides a variety of possibilities to get tag information from parts of the filename or to rename files based on the informatio…

I don't think that adding the underscores to the metadata contents is necessary. Also, usually the file extension .flac should not be part of the title field. You can open one of the identified albums in Mp3tag and see if the fields are formatted in such way. Once the metadata is in the correct fo…

Florian, That is helpful. I will go back and re-edit the MP3Tag for the unidentified album. Below is the format for an identified album... [image]

Yes, it's without the underscores in the metadata. The format string I've mentioned above for renaming and moving the files to the flac folder uses Mp3tag's scripting function $replace to substitute all blanks by underscores — only while renaming, so the resulting filenames have the underscores but…

Many thanks...that worked and the files are now in the Sonicorbiter! All correctly tagged etc.

Provide names for Unidentified Album and tracks
