Loving RockBox but need some help

<< < (3/3)

linuxstb:
Rockbox doesn't read id3v2 tags from AAC files - it reads the native tags which exist within the MP4 container.

You should remove any id3 tags that have been added to your files (maybe foobar can do that, but I don't use it), and check that the actual MP4 tags contain a genre entry.

If they do, then it would be helpful if you could make such a file available for developers to test and debug - e.g. upload it to a website and post the link here.

It's been made clear that rockbox will not support itunes or the ipod firmware directly, so you need to rely on third party software to create m3u manually.


--- Quote ---* more importantly, rockbox seems not to recognize some of the genres i have in itunes. This is a HUGE problem. It is recognizing some but not all. It is marking these songs as having the genre "untagged" on my ipod. It is over 2000 songs in 3 different genres, so it will be very difficult to rename all. Does rockbox only recognize conventional genres (rock, jazz e.t.c)? I need a fix for this badly.

mp3tag can adjust tags and strip different versions

Lear:
I'm not aware of any documentation on the tags written by iTunes, so it is entirely possible the genre reading code doesn't handle your files correctly. The current implementation is based on looking at files in a hex editor. Not the most reliably way of doing things...

As linuxstb said, a test file could be very helpful. However, it is possible I've found the reason, after some experimenting with MP3Tag. I'll try to get a fix into the next daily build.

By the way, the Limits setting is completely irrelevant to this.
