Just song title.

Post by DBen1969 »

How do I get MMW to display only the song title instead of Artist then song title when synching to MMA? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Then how is it that when I synched my music I get the following: Song Number, Artist, and Song Title.mp3? I just want the sont Title. I think there is something in the settings that can solve this issue.

If you're asking about filename, you set that in the Device Profile. You can use just <Title> for the filename.

Ok now it is making a folder for each induvidule album. It has Artist, Album, # Artist song. So for Kiss it has Kiss- Dyatroyer, 01 Kiss - song. Then another folder for Kiss - Hotter Than Hell, 01 Kiss - Song. This goes on for all the artists. How do I get it to be Artist - Album - Song, with all the albums under the artist? Any help would be greatly apprciated. Thanks in advance.

<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Title>

Note that Album Artist is generally recommended instead of Artist.

So would this put all albums under the artist?

Now for something else. Is there a way of having the songs after synching have the same directories as on my computer? For example: Music; Country; artist; album; song, then Music; Easy Listening; artist; album; song. This way when I am done synching I can check to make sure all songs were synched. I ask this because I synched my playlists and some songs were not transfered and I am having a hard time figuring out which didn't go. Any help would ve greatfully appreciated. Thanks in advance.

See: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... ormats/5.0 You have <Path> <Folder> and < Filename> to work with.

Anyway Sync should inform you what didn't Sync at the end if any files failed to Sync.

My system is Windows 7 so I am working with Mediamonkey 4. So would your suggestion work for it? Also it is not telling me what wasn't synched. So I am doing a guessing game. Also on one album it showes the artwork from The Beatles Revolver but it is from Brian May's Another World album. Everything is correct on my laptop, I even checked the properties and nothing is wrong there. What could be the issue and how can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

It would work the same.

MediaMonkey Syncs 1 Artwork per Album, so generally when the incorrect Artwork shows on a Synced device it means that the files have the same Album and same Album Artist values (this is what makes an Album in MediaMonkey).

In the properties it has Brian May as the Artist and Album Artist and Another World for Album. So I am confused.
