Memory Stick Help

pellinore · 06-01-2008, 06:36 PM

I'm having a problem with hooking up a memory stick to the stereo. What is happening is about half my mp3s are listed under Various Artists instead of their proper name. I have narrowed down the problem to the album artwork. If I leave it out the tracks get sorted properly.

Does anyone know of what I might be doing wrong? or fixes?
Thanks

probably need to make sure they have mp3 v2 tags.

are these mp3's with issues oldies?

yes, this is definitely an id3 mismatch.

what software are you using? the easiest way to fix that in iTunes is to select all files and go to Advanced -> Convert ID3 Tags and then select id3v2.3 from the drop down menu. DO NOT select 2.4. It will not work.

I think figured it out. Any artwork that was bigger than 200x200 was showing up as Various Artists. I'm using Tag and Rename and Mp3tag.
