I’ve bought a Fuze+ because sadly, my old Fuze (I miss the scroll wheel, alas!) broke after 18 months – the headphone jack didn’t work anymore. When I put back on my music I was a little annoyed that the tags of some files of some albums weren’t recognized anymore at all, and also: Why the heck are all .ogg files sorted as TIST=$ARTIST_NAME?! Is there any way to make them sort with the rest of the list? Updating to the most recent firmware doesn’t seem to fix it. Also resaving the tags as id3v2.3 doesn’t help (it did for the MP3s that weren’t recognized, though).
Sorry to say, but if there already were a Rockbox version for this player, I’d put that on it, because on my old player it solved my trouble with improper reading of tags and weird sorting of songs.
Yes. I said it didn’t help. Or do I have to delete the files from the player first, then update the database, then put them back on? When I updated the tags of the MP3 files I had to do that because the player didn’t recognize the changes I’d made.
NINJA EDIT:
OK, that worked indeed. So:
Make sure all ID3 tags are formatted as ID3v2.3 iso-8859-1
Update firmware
If files aren’t sorted/tagged correctly: 1) move the updated files in question from the player to somewhere else outside of the player and disconnect it from your computer, 2) restart the player to update its database, 3) connect the player to your computer again and copy back the files you’ve just moved, and disconnect again, 4) restart the player to update its database.
