aye, RPS all the way. that one on ebay is only rated for 350bhp which isn't exactly mega hp.

it's correct! :confused: but when i drag that exact same file into a WMP playlist its as if it ignores everything and decides to call it what it used to be (eg. 'Track 07/Unknown Artist') i found an option under 'Tools' that said 'Apply Media Information Changes' so I clicked this and it churned the harddrive for 5 minutes. ah I thought this is it, guaranteed. guess what, same problem, pmsl!!! WTF?

you can drag and drop the MP3 files directly but when you list the tracks on the MP3 player it reads the ID3 tag and not the filename and so it's like ('Track 01', 'Track 07', 'Various Artists', 'get the latest ringtones', etc.) the way to do this properly according to the user guide is to create a playlist in media player and import it over. this will also import the MP3 files themselves, which works ok (except the tags are still wrong). WMP is reading the tags but gawd only knows where its getting the info from. the filenames of all my MP3s are simply artist - title.mp3. when i view 'properties' from a normal explorer window on the MP3, the tags are CORRECT (after being batch-generated correctly by the free software). but when i drag them into a WMP playlist theyre wrong!? :confused: its as if there's a buffer somewhere of old ID3 tags and WMP is reading these instead of reading the updated ones. I could use Winamp to edit them, but ive got thousands to do and im not a patient man :p

my new player isnt an iPod tho mate its a Sansa - plays MP3 and other stuff tho. what do you mean by itunes? the web site or some software? like i say though im sure that my batch converter is actually working and renaming the ID3 tags correctly, but Windows Media Player isnt reading them properly, it still lists them when i create a playlist as 'Track 04', 'Unknown' etc...

what, posing naked on her Corsa? "let's see Blue Steel Dave... thats great, one more looking over your shoulder....perfect" :rofl:

fingers crossed for you all :)

thanks Dave for organising this. I had a real good day and was good to meet some new faces, Stangman, FastredZ, Speedfreak, good to see Mgh again, and the usual lot (Ivan, Chris, Nick, Dave) and sorry to those I didnt get a chance to meet. Thanks to ZedWorld for hosting this for us (and thanks to that farmer who turned up to get his tractor to find about 10 Zs and a half-naked girl on his laaaand :rofl: ) sorry I had to dash off I didnt get a chance to say goodbye to everyone. :(

I bought myself a fancy little MP3/video player from Amazon and it arrived this morning. i want to transfer my MP3s over but first I need to refresh all the ID3 tags so they're correct (as in not saying 'Various Artists' or 'get music from www.blahblah.com' etc) I downloaded a nice little batch converter called ID3 Renamer, which would update the ID3 of each MP3 from its filename. so if the filename was: C:\my\music\mp3\trance\amara - pulse.mp3 ...then it would set the ID3 Genre to 'Trance', the ID3 artist to 'Amara' and the title to 'Pulse'. sexy bit of kit and absolutely free. i batch convert some files to test them, and when i right-click on them in a normal explorer window and hit Properties, it's worked fine - the ID3 info has been updated by the sexy little program. however when i create a playlist using Windows Media Player 11 (freshly downloaded) and drag the files over, theyve retained their old ID3 tags!?!? :confused: :confused: so instead of listing them properly, it says 'Track 3', 'Various Artists', 'Unknown', etc. it's as if WMP isn't reading the ID3 tags correctly!? can anyone suggest whats going wrong cos when i upload the music to my MP3 player it just says whatever WMP has in its playlist (as in "who shall I listen to next, 'Various Artists' or 'Unknown Artist'... hmmm...").

ssshhhh.

Happy Birthday matey :duffer: twenty-what was it?

1000 posts is a disgrace Steve :nono: in three years you should manage thrice that! :x:

yeah they removed the animation that was supposedly causing the problems. would love to see what it looked like. maybe its on youtube

ive heard on the news that the official 2012 olympic website has had to pull its opening animation because it made epilepsy sufferers have seizures! and not just that but people have been saying that just looking at the logo makes them feel genuinely nauseous. and the bookies are laying down odds of 10/1 that the logo gets pulled by the end of the year.
