As a bit of a techno phobe, with a new C class complete with command due soon. I am after some advice on music track naming and organisation for the hard drive and the usb's. This will be my first car with more than a CD player and I am not an iPod user so have no experience with MP3 files etc. I read a couple of postings about duplicating artists names so wanted to check with the wise? All help gratefully received.
Not really sure exactly what you're asking advice on doing but-
On PC, right click and click rename to edit file name. To edit artist name right click and view properties and you can edit the meta data (track name, artist, track number etc) this would be done one by one though, best off copying and pasting the artist name or whatever if need be
Quicker way if you have iTunes and you've imported true mp3's into it rather than buying via iTunes as the files are slightly different- select all songs and right click, change data at once regarding album name, artist name, year efc. Track numbering would be separate though
That's just how I do it as it takes a few seconds but there's programs you can use that would probably do it quicker. Not sure if that's answered what you were initially asking?
If you're **** like me with correct names, spelling, numbers, albums, order etc for when it comes up in command then the meta data is the one you'll need to edit. This all depending where you got the songs though of course. Paid for music would have meta data arranged, Pirated music will no doubt have some sneaky website plug mentioned throughout the m'data
