problem with IDC tags

[laurie-ky.livejournal.com]

Just when I think I've got them figured out...

The problem is that I have 4 Mp3s for a podfic, labeled as 1_Hell of a Town, 2, 3 and 4. That part seems okay. For the album I have Hell of a Town_The Sentinel Slash Podfic. And numbers 1 and 2 are together under that album name. 3 and 4, though, I had initially just typed The Sentinel Slash Podfic, and when I realized my mistake I retyped it so I matched number 1 and 2.

However, each time I try and synch it with Windows Media player onto my Mp3 player, 3 and 4 are still coming up with The Sentinel Slash Podfic, not Hell of a Town_The Sentinel Slash Podfic, even though that's what it says on the IDC tags. I've erased that line and retyped it and it still is coming up wrong. So my story is split into two different albums, meaning it won't flow from 2 to 3. Very annoying.

Any theories? It's like Windows remembers the earlier versions and keeps insisting on using them, even though they've been corrected.


ETA: FIXED. But I'm leaving the post up in case anybody else has come across this or will in the future. Remember when I wrote earlier that it was like Windows remembered the earlier versions and insisted on using them instead of the corrected ones? Well, that was it. I checked with search on Windows Media Player, and yes there was the older, incorrect versions, so I deleted them from the Media Player library and dragged the correct ones onto the synch list and behold -- the damn thing worked.

Try using Winamp for it? I find it's a lot more reliable.

Thanks, I've got Winamp but I've mostly ignored it. I figured out what the problem was,and I thank you for giving me another suggestion.

*nod* I alternate between the two, most of the time, but I find Winamp deals with ID4 tag changing less awkwardly than Media Player. Glad you figured it out, and you're welcome.
