Who the hell is Elvis Crespo? MP3 problems. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi there,

I'm having a little bit of an issue with the MP3 player on my 2014 LT RS.

I have my MP3s all in correct folder names, all correctly tagged with only Artist, Album, Track and Track#. All other parts of the tag are blank.

The problem I have is that some artist names are showing up incorrectly. Example, "The Rolling Stones", instead of "Rolling Stones, The", and "Elvis Crespo" instead of "Elvis Presley". Where Mylink gets Crespo from, I have no idea.

I have checked and double-checked the tags and all is well. I have even moved all the artist folders in a "Music" folder to force Mylink to refresh the cache, but again to no avail.

Any ideas? I wondered whether Mylink is reading a different tag that isn't showing up on my MP3 software, but can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Rob

Answer to the Elvis Crespo question, he is a latin singer.

As to why MyLink is messing up your music, did you purchase the music in mp3 format or did you rip the music from CDs in mp3 format?

Did you manually input all the information or was all info already input in the music?

or did you download it (p2p, etc...)?

I remember downloading music from Napster/Kazaa/Bearshare back in the day, and ALL of the tags were consistently jacked up.

I would venture a guess that it's your mp3 player causing the issue- would think that the comp is only going to display what it is told to by the device that is attached...

LOL @ Elvis Crespo.

I take the 5th amendment on responding to the question of where I obtained the music.

The tags are clean, so far as I can see. Perhaps the car player is reading a different format of tag to that which I have edited and can see on my PC? Is that possible that MP3 files can carry several tags?

Pull the file up on your computer and check the details, make sure that you are also looking at contributing artist. The radio also looks at that too. Make sure you look at any category that could contain information on the artist. I bet somewhere in those details what you are seeing is in the file information. More than likely you are only seeing the default information. I think you can right click on the bar that the categories are displayed and you can select different information.

This is driving me absolutely mental now. I used MP3Tag to completely wipe the tags, then retagged from the file names. Plugged the USB drive back into the car, 10 minutes of indexing, bloody Elvis Crespo comes up, singing Jailhouse Rock. Ugh...

Better question.... Why the hell are you listening to Elvis in 2015? I'm from his hometown and I don't even listen to his music lol

Because even 60 year old Elvis music is better than the crap being passed off as rock music today.
