What's the secret to get the music player to display songs as Artist - Title??

« on: September 25, 2008, 12:52:57 AM »

Some of my songs display as ARTIST - TITLE, others are TITLE - ARTIST which annoys the heck outta me!

I took two songs from my list:

Sean Kingston - Take you there
Rihanna - Disturbia

BOTH have the filenames as shown above. The TAGS on the mp3s have the artist's name in the ARTISTS section and the title in the TITLE section and shows up fine on winamp. BUT on my instinct the Sean Kingston song shows up properly but the Rihanna song shows up as Disturbia - Rihanna!!

I've also have some cases where two different songs both don't have any Tags, but they still show up differently on the player....

I'm so frustrated because I have a lot of songs and a lot of them aren't listed as ARTIST - TITLE makes it confusing when looking for a particular song....

My god I can't believe all these little issues with the instinct exist.

For example, the photos for the camera are arranged by filename or something because when I moved old pics onto the card the order is wrong and all new photos appear in the middle of the pics and I had to rename them all to get them in chronological order....

Let me take a guess at your carrier... Telus?

im having a similar issue.. ive organized all my itunes with proper track titles and artists (capitalizations and everything).. ID3 are correct... file names are "Artist - Title.mp3"... yet... when i transfer to memory card and then open on instinct.. i get sometimes just title all one word with no spaces... or Artist - Title.mp3... its really annoying.. im OCD.. can you tell? lol.. suggestions? any other players available that read ID3 tags or make it look like iTunes?...
p.s. im on a macbook and ive used synctunes and regular copy and paste with a memory card reader.

No I'm with Bell.
I was gonna leave Bell but I got the Instinct when it came out because they offered me a discount on the phone + retention add on and of course I had imagined that it would work almost flawlessly.

The browser sucks, music player freezes sometimes, phone resets sometimes, screens lag, especially when typing an SMS, loading up photos lag, the video recorder doesn't record in AVI as I had hoped, the email feature is crippled thanks to stupid Bell. THE TEXT MSG time stamp which I noticed almost right away is hours ahead of the correct time resulting in threaded sms problems. Applications dont work becasue of the keyboard issue.....and now I can't even get my music in the music player to display the artist and title properly.

Stupid Bell, the sprint version is MUCH better, at least GMAIL and the threaded SMS WORKS FINE.

I'd much rather have the Diamond but there's no cheap data plan. I have a corporate plan which gives free browser so I have no choice but to stick with the Instinct. But stupid Bell really pisses me off.
It's stuff like this that brings me very close to getting my friend to hook me up with the Enbridge plan even though I'm not eligible (he's working two jobs, bell is part-time so he has nothing to lose in case anything happens - which wont) but that's a different story...

Now Bell's gonna cripple the GPS on various phones in order to get ppl to subscribe to GPS Nav?
wow

sorry for the tangent, but yeah if anyone knows how to fix the display on the music player that would be awesome. (I miss my A920's music player which was not only fast but displayed the titles properly)

I have similar issues with the Telus Music player. I've been spoiled by the far suprior Nokia player on my old phone!

I've been looking around for a decent alternative. Haven't found one yet. Really wish Winamp would make a Java version for mobile devices! Cheesy

If nothing else, my Instinct is causing me to go through all my MP3s and ensure they all are named the same and the ID3 tags are accurate. Ugh....80GB of tunes = a LOT of time and effort! A labour of love, I suppose

yea well, im with sprint, but at least 5 albums on my micro sd dont even show up in the MUSIC PLAYER LIST. no in ALL SONGS , not under ALBUMS, no ARTISTS. but if i have the player playing at random, it'll play those songs. The only way i can single out and find an album/song is through the email settings. .OFF TOPIC? yes, and sorry but i like to get supid syked on certain songs at the gym, unfortunately ....my carrie underwood, taylor swift, B.G, and metallica albums are the ones that im having problems with!!! lol hHELPP
