The end result was that, in the Google Play music app on my phone, the songs were represented in a number of different album folders, making it necessary to constantly switch between them if I wanted to listen to the compilation from front-to-back. Much to my dismay, the ID3 tags were formatted in such a way that Google Play did not recognize the 16 songs as belonging to the same album.
MP3TAG LEADING ZERO ANDROID
I put the album on my phone in order to listen to it via Google Play, the built-in mp3 player on the Android system.

I was given a compilation album (the first volume of the Punk-O-Rama series) in mp3 format. The goal will be to harmonize meta-data for all mp3 files which belong to a single album. Specifically, I’ll be using Python to edit the meta-data (e.g., the ID3 tags, which contain information on the artist, album, song, etc.) attached to mp3 files. In this post, we’ll still be dealing with data, but less on the analysis side and more on the management side. Typically, on this blog I write about data analysis. Thanks for any help.In this post, I’d like to do something a little bit different. I earlier cleaned all my FLAC file tags up using MP3Tag and specifically do not use leading zeros there much less 2 leading numbers.ĭoes anyone know what I am doing wrong and how I can correct this? I would like to synch from MMW to MMA but it just creates more frustration and work for me since I don't know what I am supposed to do to get the numbering system I prefer.

Synching gives me a 3rd digit to add to the 'leading zero' (I don't want either).Īn album with 100 tracks that I synched from PC to Android now has "101, 102." to 118 then, the thing goes to "219, 220." so that by the time I look at the 100th track it is numbered "900". This way the numbering system only shows one digit below 10 and does not add a 3rd digit. I have been trying to have numbering on my phone without leading zeros and had to resort to copying albums over from computer and then getting MMA to find them. Specifically MM persists in adding a 3rd digit to each track. I have been having trouble with MMA when synching from MMW. Now I have to see if MMW and MMA, both updated with proper file discipline will successfully sync. I know this is pretty windy but it might save some poor soul several frustrating hours trying to set up MMW and MMA which are great programs. At least that is what happened to me in MMA and in the past in MMW. Many may already know this but I'm putting it out there for those of us who have been satisfied with blissful ignorance.Īnother thing is to make your file structure match in each folder so MMA or MMW can more easily set up your database.Īnd lastly I think when I have the 3 digit files eventually MMA infers the proper numbering and applies it. If you wag your cursor around in the list you will still get all the files but numbering will start where you click "copy". click on 40 press and hold "shift" then scrape up to 1, stopping on 1 and right-clicking "copy".

Next I found at least in Windows 7 that if you click one file then hold "shift" and click the last file you want to include, you must start at the ending file and end at the starting file. I copied individual folders over to my Android phone and MMA picked them up no problem during "check for changed media" in 'Options' when you hit the 3 dots upper right. I'm learning some things here I have successfully avoided for years.
