'Unknown' Tags when ID3V2 tags are present

(1/3) > >>

J.L.C.:
Hi,

   With some albums I seem to have problems with Rockbox reading the ID3v2 tags.

   I have used a tag editor (MP3Tag and dvPoweramp) to set the tags (ID3v2.3).  The info showing up in the tag has the same fields, and same tag types as files and albums that are showing up in the database without problems.

   But, for some reason, these albums always end up in the untagged folder.  The albums and track names are showing up fine in the Sansa firmware, it seems the tags are just not being read by Rockbox.  This is with several versions of rockbox (digibuild, Chris', and the 'regular' rockbox).

It's a pain having to boot into the Sansa firmware to listen to these 2 or 3 albums.

Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?

   

MarcGuay:
Rebuild the database?  Maybe it's holding on to the old information even if you're updating the files.  Check out the database settings menu...

Mikerman:
I've had this occur very infrequently over the years, with a handful of files.  I could never figure it out, and "fixed" the issue by re-ripping the tunes from my CD.

Lear:
A test file or two could be useful, to see if it is a bug (or maybe a lack of bug-compatibility) in the ID3V2 parser in Rockbox.

Hi, this is my first post on the forums... I got Rockbox recently and am loving it more and more (with the help of the promising Cabbie 2.0 theme and my current read-through of the "f*cking manual" as it's been referred. Just thought I'd say that this happens to me as well, with more than one format of audio. Lear, I can definitely provide sample files if you'd like them... if this really is a bug I'd love to help crush it!
