I do need help please! I am losing my mind!
I hope someone can help me here. I have looked all over and can not seem to find a answer. Maybe it is me not being able to put the issue into words? Well here I will try again.
I have well over 20k worth of MP3's. Been a DJ forever and a day. I have made my mp3's off my CDs. Here is the problem...I use SAM broadcaster as I am also a net DJ. I go to load up my music and some files are correct. The artist is there, the title of the tune and the album is there all nice & neat. Other times I have the album name in the title field and the album is blank or it has the artist name /album /title all in the title field. I have tried many different products to fix my issue and nothing seems to work. What am I doing wrong? I really do NOT want to go through all 20,000 mp3;s and edit the fields. Can someone please help me?

Some files are showing up this way in MM? Do you have "infer file properties" checked under Tools > Options >
Library? If so, uncheck it and see what happens (it shouldn't cause multiple elements to show up in a single field though).

Re: I do need help please! I am losing my mind!
When U load the files into MM everything looks good. The artist name is in the proper place, the title is there in the proper place and the album is also there in the right place. When I go to load it up into my broadcast software the title/alnum/artist name are all in the same field. Usually under track name with the artist and album empty

How long have you been having this problem? Did it just all of a sudden start happening?
Have you asked about the issue in the SAM forum?

Go to the Files to Edit > Unsynchronized Tags node (in the applicable Collection like Music in the Media Tree) and select all listed files. Then use Tools > Advanced Tag Management > Synchronize Tags. This will update the files with the tag values you see in MediaMonkey.
The problem may be SAM as it may have trouble reading tags correctly. You can check in other software (like WMP) if the files show the same tags as MM or as SAM.

Re: I do need help please! I am losing my mind!
I have tried what has been suggested with no good results. Here is something else that is odd. If I go in, and I edit the mp3 to show only the artist name and the title of the tune everything shows up fine. It is when I edit it to show artist/album/track title when everything screws up. I must be missing something somewhere
Re: I do need help please! I am losing my mind!
Turn off the option in sam to auto tag from the web or from in mm to auto tag from the web.

Re: I do need help please! I am losing my mind!
Everything shows up normal in Sam if I edit the files in MM from Artis/album/tracktitle to artist/track. But if I add edit it back to Artists/album/track title it goes back to all the info being on the title line and the other two lines are blank
Re: I do need help please! I am losing my mind!
Are you referring to editing tags or renaming folder/filenames? If the latter it sounds like SAM is inferring tags from folder/filenames.

Does SAM have anything in its Options/Preferences about tag structure, inferences, layout, etc.?
