Song Titles Are Now Artist Name?

Post by pperesada »

Hello,

I may have a very simple question and I apologize if I do. Some of my metadata was missing from my music, hence why I got Mediamonkey. However, now all of my music thinks that the song title is the artist name. Did I do something wrong? Also, how do I go about fixing this? Thanks guys!

I presume you're using the desktop software and not the App from the Windows Store?

That was likely caused by Infer File Properties guessing the empty tags from the folder/filename. Tools > Scripts > Swap Artist and Title could fix this or Tools > Auto-Tag from Filename allows you to manually re-tag from the filename.

I've found RegExp indispensable.
Swapping values between two fields (eg, Artist<>Title) is just one of may built-in functions.
Instructions & Menus are rather convoluted, but worth the effort.
