Weird stuff with music on USB

[weasel1]

Bunch of music loaded on my USB. I did some cleaning up on the album titles ( so that everything is near the same format ) and dealt with a few spelling mistakes. Here's the weird part. The changed don't show up in the Ranger. All I did was edit the album title and corrected the spelling of one song. Shows normal on my laptop, but nothing changed in the truck. I thought it might be an indexing issue. Found the menu for that, but it doesn't seem to work unless I am somehow doing it wrong. Any other ideas??

I've experienced similar issues and it seems that it just doesn't like "modification" of files...I found that if I want to change up the files on the stick, it's only works if I compose my music on my hard drive first...then format the stick and copy the new folder entirely onto the stick in one shot...hope that helps...

Maybe it's displaying the file name instead of the track title in the metadata, or vice versa?

Try switching off Gracenotes management in SYNC. I had trouble with some of my lesser known artists not showing up correctly. Turned out Gracenotes was displaying wrong info instead ot using Metadata in file.

That's a distinct possibility. Forgot about that. I'll have to take a peek and see what I find.

Damn it. Its the metadata. Now I have to figure out how to change it.

You were sort of right. It was displaying the metadata of the files instead of the file name. Once I changed all the metadata in the folder, the folder then displayed correctly. A little weird, but it worked. Thank goodness that I could change the files in bulk rather than one by one!!

Though about that. Not likely a lesser known artist in this case. Rush has been around for a bit...

I do appreciate all the ideas folks! Hopefully this will help out some others in the future.

Glad you found a solution for your problem. It was just a thought as I have had Gracenotes overriding the metadata in the files.

I'll come in here late, but I found that if you go to
SETTINGS > MEDIA > RESET MEDIA INDEX
this helps with a lot of gremlins, esp voice recognition of new content.

I'll have to try and remember that one. Who knows what will happen as I add to the stick.

First thing I tried. Once I looked at the metadata I found the smoking gun. I did send up having to do that once I got everything "fixed".
