database : showing trackname whith no id3 given

You use foobar2000? It's at least as easy to re-tag files in foobar as it is in MediaMonkey.
Try this:
Select a bunch of music in foobar.
Right click, go to Tagging and then Manage Scripts.
You should be greeted with the Masstagger dialog.
Click Add then Guess values from filename....
At this point you'll have to enter in a format for tagging your files based on your directory structure. I don't know how you have your files organized, but for almost all of my files, this format works:
--- Code: ---%artist%/(%date%) %album%/%tracknumber% - %title%
--- End code ---
If you want to post your file organization, I could probably send you a format string that work too.
motorbit:
ok, first to all who tryed to tell me how to put in a id3 tag into my files:
jeah thaks a lot for your replys.
but serious: my tags are not broken and therefore do not need to be fixed. my tags are exactly as i want them to be and as they work perfect with any id based database i ever used. i will not change my sorting of tags for any player, be it hardware or software.
--- Quote from: id3.org ---These are merely Guidelines and as such they are not part of the ID3v2 standard.
1. If anything in this document contradicts the published ID3v2 standard, then the standard shall prevail. The ID3v2 standard always has the final word.
2. These Guidelines are not binding on anyone (whereas the standard is binding, for obvious reasons.) This means you, as a programmer, should never assume anyone else will abide by these guidelines. A protocol designer once said:
*
"Be flexible in what you accept, but strict in what you write."
3. Use your judgement and common sense.

hey, thanks for that link!
sadly, i didt come along with that one. it looks as it wuld allow to configure the database, but i did not found out how to specify whats shown within the "tracktitle field" with that informations.
especialy, as i wuld love to have it as a fallback option only.
if fallback wuld be impossible or verry difficult to realize, but changing the displayed info to filename wuld be quite easy (and im just to stupid to undersand how), any further help here wuld be verry apriciated.

So here's where I'm confused: If your tags work perfect(ly) with any ID3 database you've ever used, how can they be showing up as "untagged" in the ID3-capable Rockbox database?
As much as you insist your tags are "perfect," signs point to something being amiss with them, as the rest of us have had no trouble getting the RB database to read our tags correctly.
soap:
If I understand the story correctly, the problem isn't your tags are "broken" the problem is you are missing a key tag.
What is the harm of populating the track title field? For, frankly, you appear to be expecting Rockbox to support a personal jerry-rig of a system you have created.
You can quote ID3.org all you want, but the facts of the matter appear to be you don't use a tag (which is perfectly ok), yet expect Rockbox to behave as if you do.
This appears to me to be unreasonable. I am open, though, to an explanation of why it is not, or where I am wrong.
Lear:
There is one problem with the argument that Rockbox shouldn't "guess" the track title if not present in the tag: it already tries to guess the track number... ;)
