Hi Guys,
I am running win 7 - build7100 and am having problems loading the clip up !!!
If I drag an audio book across for instance, when I open it up on the clip, its not in a folder, but shown in lots of disks rather than a folder, so as when I have 3 books on there, there all listed as disks, not individual audiobook folders.
When I drag mp3 music albums across to the music folder, it shows as individual albums, but when I disconnect my clip and look in the music folder, they are listed as continuous tracks and not albums and also I cannot access some of the albums. When I plug back into the pc and look through my computer, there all there.
What am I wrong ???
and my shuffle IS turned off !!!
any help and advice appreciated ---- thanks
Thanks for the quick reply Milkerman, could you explain the ID3 thing in a more user friendly way please, you got me on that one , Im a noob, sorry
cheers mate
Most modern audio file formats allow all kinds of meta information to be present, including album, artist and track number. For MP3, they are stored in so-called ID3 tags. Normally the CD ripping software should obtain the required information automatically from some CDDB/FreeDB location on the net (in some cases you need to set this up explicitly, and it seems this is one of them). There also is special tagging software around (e.g. MP3Tag) which may allow you to tag things afterwards and tends to be useful in keeping things consistent in larger music collections.
The Clip only goes by metadata, which is read out every time the file system has been changed and then kept in an internal database.
a massive thanks for the tutorial, I think that will help me sort my ID3 tag issues from now one
a very helpfull forum here, good job guys and cheers
