database : showing trackname whith no id3 given

<< < (6/9) > >>

Llorean:
In their metadata databases, or on the playback screen? They're two entirely different concepts.

Being able to "browse by filenames" is not the same thing either as having a metadata database that indexes filenames in the place of tags. You can already browse by filenames in Rockbox. Please, try to limit it to the most comparable circumstances possible, and explain exactly what screen/list you're referring to.

For example, iTunes's situation is definitely quite different from Rockbox's database.

motorbit:
i did all tests with playlists and bibliotheks, where the players behaived als written.
jetaudio will show the filename in "now playing" when no tag is given (and the tag if one is given) but no filename within the playlist or bibliothek if no tag is present.

there is an update, the windows media center

Llorean:
Please, use English. I have no idea if you mean "library" or "database" or simply "music browser" by "bibliothek."

Our playlists, for example, always show the filename. That's why I wanted you to be explicitly clear about what screen you're referring to in what program.

Also, does it tell you it's the "title" or just "track name" or "name" or what? Are they explicitly "metadata databases" or "music libraries" or what?

You're making broad generalizations, but not actually explaining anything.

evilnick:
I think that you misunderstood Llorean.

He explained that it's quite different to display the filename as the music is being played back (which Rockbox currently does, at least with the default theme) than it is to assume that the filename is the title of the song within the database.

motorbit:
i did the  testings as far as i understood your question, an i think i tested what you wanted me to test:


itunes: afaik itunes has only *one* libary mode... where it shows metadatas. but it will show the filename there, if no metadata for the filename is set.

wmp/wmc is doing it pretty much like itunes, altrough it looks fundamental different.

foobar: i only tested playlists - these show metadata as default and filename only as fallback. sry, i dont want to spend 2 hours configure foobar to a way i dont want it to get a libary working that i dont need. im quite sure it wuld do just like it does with playlists now.


D2: when browsing by the database (ie: by artist, by album, etc), the d2 will show the filename when no tag for the filename is present within the metadata.
it always shows the filename if browsing by filestructure, no mater if a id3 tag is present.


gogear: this pmp is doing pretty much asame, exept he can not browse by filestructure but will always sort tracks by a metadata based libary.

non of the above players interface change when no filename is present within the metadata. they will just show the physical filename where else the metadata-file-name wuld appear


jetaudio is doing it just like rockbox. it will show the filename for the track "now playing", but no entry for the filename in playlists/libarys if no id3 tag for filename is given.
