This might be a bit off topic but I can’t think who else to ask. (If you can, let me know.) The problem is that my MP3 player (a Philips GoGear with 4GB memory if that makes any odds) has two mp3's files on it with the wrong name. Fine, rename them, you cry. But there's the rub. They show with the right name if I mount it. What can I do? It isn't full, by the way. Bev

You most likely need to edit the MP3 tags. I have found that many MP3 players use the tag info rather than the file name. Nev

Bev, does your player also display album art? Using Kid3, I simply drag a piccy to the appropriate place and it adds it to the file. It does increase file size too of course which might be a problem if the player has limited space. When I download iplayer files, I use a script to add the downloaded thumbnail to the file using something like this :- eyeD3 --add-image $imagefile:FRONT_COVER:Picture "$FILE" -- __ __| |_ __ __ .----------------------------------------------. / _/ _` \ V V / | mailto:alug_cdw@the-walker-household.co.uk | \__\__,_|\_/\_/ |______________________________________________|

How do you mean album art? Album covers, that kind of thing? If so, no it doesn't. Just text. Bev.

Yes. MP3s can have graphics embedded in them, which some players will display when they're playing them. Stupid idea, IMNHO. -- Today is Prickle-Prickle, the 68th day of Confusion in the YOLD 3182 I don't have an attitude problem. If you have a problem with my attitude, that's your problem.
