[help] id3 tags in itunes

Ok heres the situtation:

I have iTunes which i put all of my music into. I want to convert all the id3 tags to match what is in itunes, but when I do convert id3 tags, sometimes some really wierd stuff happens and it adds numbers to the titles which I don't like. The reason I want this is because I have a Zen Touch, not an Ipod but I like how iTunes is organized.

Let me know,

John

Here is a screenshot of what it does - This is after converting from AAC to MP3 because my Zen Touch doesn't play AAC and I download all the music from my friends.

The convert ID3 tags thing is used in situations where the titles in iTunes are messed up.

For example, you add your library to WMP, play a few songs, then next time you open iTunes all you titles are messed up. You use the convert ID3 tags button to return them to there previous state; not messed up.

However I'm also looking to find out the answer to your question, because I also would like to update the ID3 tag info in some of my MP3s (with the info that's in iTunes of course), so Foobar can display them correctly.

Well, I still haven't found a plugin that will go the other way, but I did find MP3Tag4 which is very good software that allows you to easily edit the tags in MP3. I'll keep my eye out for that other plugin.

What appears to be happening is that the track numbers are being added to the track name. Why that's happening, I certainly don't know. What version of ID3 are you converting them to?

It no longer happens, but I used to include the tracknumber while converting AAC to MP3 because i have a zen touch, not an ipod) and then it wouldn't carry over the mp3 tag (which is stupid in my opinion) so all that would be left was like (02 Purple Haze, Artist: Unknown, Album: Unknown, etc)

I'm using MP3tag4 to change them all
