It also seems to ignore your genre divisions and creates its own. If you happen to use the the otherwise excellent VLC media app (which provides a drag and drop means of getting music onto an iPhone) you might find a few artwork issues in list view. Then there’s the year of release (or year it became a hit or when you first became aware of it) which can vary from US to UK. You need to decide how many genres you need (male, female, pop, rock, rock n roll, classical, children’s, electronica, folk, soundtrack is about the minimum I can reduce it to). If you have lots of classical, I feel for you.’Īfter you’ve made sure the song and artist titling is correct and consistent, (and have done a backup) you still need to watch out for a few things. That is just a made-up example, but I want to say that arranging the library becomes a year-long chore and you may be tempted to straighten it out. ![]() Been there, done that, would do it this way this all the covers are done, you may notice that The Beatles and the beatles are filed separately and may end up in different folders. I would copy all I have to FLAC and only then start adding covers, arranging names and nunbers, etc. There is no real guarantee all of them will transfer although dBpoweramp does a decent, if not consistent, job with that. Not so much with WAV and not so much with AIFF.īe careful not to do all of this "cover work" and then convert to FLAC. ![]() Virtually any car these days will play FLAC from SD card or USB drive and it displays covers. I used AIFF initially because it does take cover art more or less well. I converted (actually copied) from AIFF to FLAC. I second mapman’s thoughts about WAV and FLAC. If you have lots of classical, I feel for you. Once all the covers are done, you may notice that The Beatles and the beatles are filed separately and may end up in different folders. Now, when you started your project of tagging, you will be in it longer than you think, I am afraid. In fact, it is worth checking even song titles, etc. I abandoned automated retrieval of cover art from the Internet. Check if it is every time with the same song. Could it be that it simply takes a little time for the machine you are playing it on to digest and figure everything out? It does happen on one of my players, but I am talking about a second or two and even that not every time. It is interesting that only beginnings of WAV songs are not displaying covers. I prefer mp3Tag for tagging, but conversions and other things in dB poweramp have been worth the purchase price over time. ![]() I have no explanation or remedy except "sorry".ĭBpoweramp can also tag, but it can convert, rip, and a few more. For me, it happened exclusively with WAV and even that not all the time. It is there but sometimes the program does not see it. ![]() The issue is that some of the programs/machines you may be playing the files with cannot digest the artwork if there is more than one picture attached, or they may decide to show the one you did not want.ĭo not be surprised if some song/album that you attached the picture to does not show up once being played. I have made that mistake of "deleting" without saving enough times to be embarassed to admit. I am repeating myself, but if you want to change the picture that already is in the file make sure to delete it first (right click on the picture in the left lower corner), save that (click on "save" diskette up left) and then put a new picture in and save. Mp3Tag is actually quite simple, after a few attempts. Sorry for the late response, but I am glad it worked.
