another zune question haha.

some of my music when i put it into my zune software will catagorize in the "unknown artist, or unknown album" section. i'm kind of a perfectionist and i like my music to be nice and neat order. is there a certain software to edit the mp3 tags? i've tried to change the info in the zune software but it'll refer itself back to the "unknown artist section"

thanks for the help!

 

i use winamp and just update the "file info"

 

or you can use iTunes.

 

mp3tag is a good program if you want to do multiple edits at the same time.

 

ahhh thanks, winamp works great, and i can edit multiple files at a time. i love askin questions here haha

 

Im sure thats what hes gonna do

 

that's what I do and have a Zune 80!

I mean if he already has iTunes (I assumed he did) there's no need to download and learn how to use another program.

 

I actually like the Zune software much better. They have minor flaws, but is usually easy to work around that.

 

im just basis against Itunes.

 

I have the same problem w/ iTunes, apparently it doesnt work. It works with some songs but not with all of them. Also, some do change, but when you double click on them to play them, it reverts back to the old info I have about 6,000+ songs so I just gave up.

 

that's the exact reason i got a Zune, other than it had more features than the ipod. the zune software is great (other than the fact that editing the mp3 tags won't work) but it's a quick fix in winamp and i'm good to go, if i fix the id3 tag just right, the zune software will even download the album art. i try to stay away from itunes or anything created by apple.

 

Cleaning up your MP3 tags using MP3Tag

 

MediaMonkey is another good one. I've been using it to add album art to my mp3's.

So just load all your songs in winamp, edit them, then they should load into Zune correctly.

I have the same problem as you and w/ 10k+ songs it's a PITA. Wish my intunes library could transfer over to my Zune as is.

 

Right click file -> properties -> summary tab -> advanced button -> enter correct info

 

In Vista it's Right click file -> properties -> details tab-> enter correct info.

So wait this is easier to do in Vista than in XP!! NO WAY!!

 

you need to clean your pm box KCPreki11 it's full, so i'll post this here.

you gotta add the music to your library and then once your music is showing up in your library, then select the items you want to edit right click, and then click on edit selected items, and there you will have direct access to the id3 tag



so has anyone had experience with the generic ebay zune car chargers? i hooked up my blitzsafe adapter the other day and it works beautifully, but now i need to find a charging method

 

^What type of car do you have?


And I just download WinAmp and MediaMonkey to try out since I have to edit my entire library (like every song). Which would be better for doing this?

 

i have a 2000 TL. i only used winamp, i'll check out media monkey this weekend so i can get some album art on my stuff.

no one knows about the chargers??

 

Yes i use the blitzsafe too. Love it!!.


But charging is an issue as well. I just charge it at night, but im fucked on long road trips. I got a car charger but that doesnt work.

 

does it plug up and doesn't show the battery charging? that's what mine does. i don't know if it's actually charging or not.

 

I usually do this in my XP machine not Vista, because the metadata fields that Vista comes up are like 50 I don't care about and 2 I do. XP's "advanced" properties shows exactly the only fields I care about.

And I don't know what you people are doing in iTunes, but I use it under XP/Vista and I haven't had any problems in like 3 years.

 

Exact same thing. I also have a wall charger, i havent tried yet but i assume it wont work either. The other thing that sucks, is that the zune website doesnt sell just a car charger. They are attached to FM transmitters, and with the blitzsafe its useless.

 

I needed to do multiple edits at the same time and this program works great for this. Thanks.
