Media Library Importing - Reading Tags Problem

sparkee · 23rd July 2004, 22:17

I got the same problem as some users of this forum but I haven't found an answer yet. Tell me what should I do to force Winamp to read from TAGS, not from filenames (and folders), when importing media to the library.

Thanks in advance.

Be sure you select (when 'ALL' metadata not found) 'No guessing' at Prefs > Media Library > Media Importing.
Also, 'Read file metadata tags on import if available' should be checked.
You may need to nuke your library (tab Misc.) and reimport your files.

I did it again step by step as you told me and nothing's changed. I received (f.e.):
Artist: /nothing here/
Title: Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Album: /nothing here/

All tags are filled properly...

what else could i do?

Remove/disable the 3rd-party MP3Pro plugin.
You have installed it, yes?
