Hello. I am having problems/need more education on dealing with mp3
tags. Recently I have begun ripping my cds to a large hard drive. A
lot of those include cds that I made from mp3s I had downloaded or
bought or whatever. So the cd had 16 songs by 16 different artists.
I am having an issue with these cds and WMP. It seems that whatever
I try to do, WMP still connects the songs on a specific cd together
even though I want them displayed as separate artists. For instance,
I'll rip a cd and break the actual files up into different folders on
my hard drive based on the artist. At this stage I am able to change
the artist, album name, etc. Then I'll jump into WMP and get the song.
In WMP I am also able to edit various tags of the song.
At this point because I want the album photo to display I will
right click and find album info. Then I find the correct artist/album
and I think that song is good to go. The problem is that every song
that was ripped on that cd is now tagged with the specific song I just
edited. So if I update a song from the rip as a Pearl Jam song and tag
it appropriately, then every song that ripped now becomes a Pearl Jam
song even if it is Faith Hill or Pantera. If I go to the Pantera song
per se and update that tag as Pantera, then every song on that rip now
becomes a Pantera song.
Anyhow, perhaps I need a little education on how mp3 tags work. I
have found freeware programs that supposedly allow my to edit and
remove mp3 tags but I am not sure how this plays into WMP reading the
edited file.
Any advice you could throw my way would be greatly
appreciated.
