![]() ![]() I can't find any pattern from viewing the files/tags in iTunes as to which files have issues in mp3Tag (and the funny thing is that when I load the same library in the Mac app tagr, everything seems fine except a dozen of tracks with missing artwork). The Tag Columns is just empty, and this seems to affect m4a files The Tag column simply says "(!BAD ID3v3)" or v2, v4ģ. ![]() ![]() mp3Tag in the Tag column says "ID3v1 (ID3v1 !BAD ID2v2)" or some other combination (v2, v3, etc.)Ģ. I've found that the problems materialize in three different ways:ġ. So this leads me to thinking that perhaps it is tag issues that cause the incomplete indexing? As suggested by Not Bob, my iTunes library does seem to have hundreds of files that when opened in mp3Tag clearly have problems. If I use Browse Folders to look inside the Music folder, the tracks are listed using their file names (01 Title, etc.), and if I play a track, the info screen (although showing the artwork) also says Various Artist, Various Album. No matter which Search category I use, no list is generated, it just says Various Genres, Various Artists, Various Albums, etc. Indexing not completing: However, even after deleting these hidden files (and the DS Store files), iDrive seems to get stuck in the indexing. They also seem to be generated only for AAC files perhaps it's the Mac's way of somehow ensuring that such files can be played by other OS/apps? The strange thing is there are no such files in the Music folder of the iTunes library, so they seem to be generated when copying music files to the drive. Looking at the drive connected to my Mac (using Windows in Fusion) I found hundreds of these hidden files. Hidden files: After loading the new drive with some music, I again found that the car would not complete the indexing, and with these "._xxxxx" tracks appearing under Browse Folders. USB Drive: I've bought a new fast Seagate drive, so at least any speed issues should be eliminated I'm trying to move this USB drive solution forward, but as I make some progress, new questions/issues arise. ![]()
