How do I add v3.1 tags to files?
HI there: I am having difficulty with a mix of files, some of which have 3.1 and 3.2 tags, some of which only have 3.2 tags. All these files are stored on a Western Digital, mybooklive NAS that runs twonkymediaserver. The latter ones are all showing up with genre="unknown".
But for some reason, I can't get kid3 to actually create or edit 3.1 id tags such that twonky can read them. If you look at this screenshot you can see that this band has both 3.1 and 3.2 tags, and the 3.2 genre tag is "Brit Pop". because this is not a predefined 3.1 tag, the menu bar in the Tag 1 box is set to blank. But Twonky reads this properly as "Brit Pop". But if you look at this screenshot You see that this band only has 3.2 tags, but the Tag 1 box is totally greyed out, I can't create edit or modify those tags.
What are my options here?
- Do I have to go the command line?
- If so, can ou point me to step-by-step instructions for a novice programmer?
- Is there any other way inside kid3 to create, modify or edit 3.1 tags where there are none?
- Is there any other way to get twonky to recognize id3.2 tags for genre?
Thank you in advance. It's a fabulous product!
