Problem Reading ID3 Tags

Postby a06lp on Fri Apr 07, 2006 2:17 pm

I know my music all has proper ID3 tags.
But for some reason, when I import my music to the DB (using the music template, selecting ID3, View: Artist > Album), some of the track info does not show up when I select a track in the DB (Database Tab > Edit > Selecting a track).

For example: albumname never shows up, in ANY of my mp3's. I never see year either.
The most I get is: tracknumber, trackname,trackfilename, and artist

Why is this? Could this be why my sorting isn't working out properly?

I used MediaMonkey to tag all my files. All tags worked correctly in Meedio, in Winamp, etc.

I am using xlobby2prerelease1.zip, downloaded yesterday from XLobby.com.

You should also be sure to download the latest xlobby2.exe file. They are updated very frequently.
I'm not saying that this will solve your issue, but in general you want to be certain you are running the more recent .exe

Just tried. No success.
Does anyone have mp3 files that show, when clicked in the db, albumname ?
If so, could someone send it to me, so I can compare it to my mp3's?


Yay!
Steven implemented better ID3 tag reading which solved this!!

SOLVED!
