Why Do a String of Numbers Appear in the Titles of Some Ripped CDs?

[blinkstar]

When I put some of my ripped CDs onto the Rockbox, they're titles are listed like this: A4010000_The Jam ...

Anyone know why or how I can change this?

Are your files ID3 tagged correctly?

That's usually a symptom of loading in MTP mode. The installation of Rockbox causes the player to default to Autodetect which usually picks MTP as the transfer mode.

Unload the affected files then go into the OF and be sure you're in MSC mode. When you reload the player the files should appear normally.

lol at my post, good catch skip252, guess I always had changed it back before loading tunes ...

Thanks for your responses, guys!

So I changed the OF to MSC mode, but now when I hook up Fuze to my PC, the "album" folder, which is where I like to put my music, no longer shows up ... ?

Am I doing something wrong?

Check the radial button for show hidden files and folders under folder options on your pc in Windows Explorer.

Edit: just in case, it’s under “tools/folder options/view/hidden files and folders”

I checked, and I already have "show hidden files" checked in that folder ... and "Albums" still isn't showing up ...

The reason I want to do this, if it matters, is so that I don't have to do a lot of scrolling to find my music--if it is under Files/##Music #/Albums, then I just click three times and I'm there.

That Files/##Music #/Albums item is folder that's created by the MTP mode of the OF. It's best to just ignore that and create your own folder structure. In Windows Explorer right click and create a Albums folder of your own. Put your files there.

You can also create directories in the Context Menu on the player. Check the manual on the Context Menu.

skip252--thanks for responding!

That's exactly what I ended up doing. I made a folder, and named it "##Audio#"--that way it shows up first, before "##Music#" and accomplishes the same thing as using the "Album" folder ... I wish there were a more elegant solution, but it is what it is.
