I have about 1,000 songs which I converted from my CDs to Mp3 and WMA files for the past few years which I have used on my Creative Labs Zen Micro and Zen Vision:M with no problems. Some CDs were compilations I made of songs that I like. I have had no problems with any of the tag info on either MP3 players.
I have copied about 500 songs over to the PS3. I have no problems with the MP3 files. All the tag info is carried over to the PS3; artist, album name, genre, year, track number, track name etc.
But with most of the WMA files, the only tag info that the PS3 recognizes are the artist and track name. It loses the album title, track number, year and genre fields. I have used a couple of MP3/WMA Music Tag Editors and all the fields are filled. I also made sure that the tag file version is ID3v1 and ID3V2 compatible (the latest versions). But the PS3 loses all of that info.
But for some reason, some of the WMA files retained the information. The really weird thing is that from the same (commercial or retail) CD, some songs have the information and some songs do not. :confused:
Has anyone experienced this problem? If so, have you been able to resolve it? TIA.
P.S. some info, I have only used Nero Burning ROM to rip the CDs to my PC. I use WMA format now since it supposedly loses less info than MP3.
