Won't play music from a certain artist

(1/3) > >>

fransea:
I sync my 5G 60 gig video ipod using itunes and then it won't play music from the artist "the b foundation" no matter what i do, the name will not come up on the list of artists anywhere on the ipod. I don't know how many other songs may be like this also on my ipod. I deleted all of my album artwork to see if that was the problem, and ive re-initialized my ipod numerous times.  
Please help me figure this one out.

ColdSphinx:
is the music in a rockbox readable format?
also are the files taged? because itunes wites the informations about artist and so on in the appledb on your ipod....

Chronon:
Yeah, I would suggest going through your files with a proper tagging program to make sure that they are tagged properly.  Apple has sought a less and less standard way of doing things lately.  Another example is album art.  They used to store it in the ID3 tag, but now it gets stored in some database.  This makes iTunes managed music non-portable.

fransea:
What kind of ID3 program should i use?

Chronon:
There are a bunch out there.  Here's a freeware one that can edit most of the file types that Rockbox supports.  http://www.mp3tag.de/en/
