I'm using Mp3Tag do edit Id3 tags in my mp3 files.
In the editor everything looks ok, but in my iTunes, some of them just ge messed up. The artist isn't read, Album Artist doesn't show up, this kind of thing. It's just random, some are messed up, some aren't.
How do I "debug" this problem? How can I check what is written in my mp3 metadata, if possible, running all my mp3 in a batch (since I have >100gb)? How do I know if there are "garbage" in the metadata section along with information I correctly edited?
Answer
As the previous posters have mentioned, use id3v2, preferably v2.3.
Sometimes, tracking down problems with tags can be quite painful and in some cases it's easier to remove all the tags and start fresh. That said, one of the useful features of Mp3Tag is it's export function. I've used this several times to find the problem in the 'raw' data.
Essentially, export a well formatted track and one that has a problem, either to csv or txt and compare the two. Using this method shows differences that aren't displayed in the standard interface. You can fix the problem and then re-import.
