You said you'd tried that using MP3Tag, have you tried my WinXP/Properties method?

dmworking247:
The jukebox is running Win2k, but I've copied it onto a "TinyXP" box and the symptoms come straight across, so I'll try 'fixing' one of the tags using properties of XP on that one.

If you continue to have troubles, you should get a problematic file to Chris to see if there's something he can identify.

Strangely that DID work using XP 'properties', retyping the title and saving it.

I wonder if there is a version incompatibility or something with wincab (eg older ID3 tags, but when I re-save the tag its in a newer format?)

Perhaps I should turn this thread into a feature request:

Could we see a feature in Wincab to enter 'administrator' mode where when you select a song you can edit the ID3 properties and see the full path of the song, and move or delete the file? (it would make cleaning up/sorting the collection SOOO much easier :D )

In the mean time it looks like I've got a LOT of manual tag cleanups to do.

Chris:
The WinCab database is just a text file so you can edit it and change titles and such to your heart's content.
