Hi Stacy,
When I go to the file menu and select save tags or hit control-s,
nothing is saved. Perhaps I am doing something else wrong.
First I put in the artist, album and year. Next I press control s or go
to the file menu and press enter on save. BTW, when going to the file
menu, save is not read by JAWS. But the other menu options are read.
After that, I press control d for the directory listing and go to
another album to edit. Then I repeat the above. Should be that simple,
right? After reloading the folder in the program, the tags do not show
up.
BTW, each time I load the program, it says that it is an old program and
I should go to their web site and check for an update. The version I
have is 2.37a.
Thanks,
Keith

Hi,
I downloaded the MP3 Tag program and now I am working on putting in
the tags. Thanks for the link. What is not clear is how to save the
tags after making them. I selected the folder and I see the edit
fields to put in Title, artist, and so on. But after filling in the
information, I don't see how to save the tags and move on. Now it
would be very cool if they had an automatic CDDB feature!
BTW, what is the title field for?
Thanks again.
Keith

Hi Keith,
Did you get the Braille plus to and the MP3 Tags figured out? I had
this problem when I first started using the Icon. Here is what I
found to work.
I am sure I was not the only person who had problems with the Icon
and MP3 Tags Once I transferred titles to the Icon, I found that it
was not placing the music in the genre that was on the MP3 Tag. It
seemed to instead be using the song writers name as the genre. With
some considerable time and a little help from the list, I resolved
this issue. I thought that the steps I took might benefit someone
else.
I had used Windows Media Player to rip the music, so that might have
been a little bit of my problem. Anyway I hope this helps someone.
Icon and MP3 Tags
1 Before transferring the MP3 files to the Icon make sure the MP3
tags are in ID V 2 and that they are ISO tags and not UTF 16 or UTF
32.
2 If the MP3 tags are not in the correct format, you can convert the
tags using a program called MP3 Tag. This program can be found at

3 After downloading and installing the program you will need to make
the following changes.
1 Select <Options> from the tools menu.
2 From the tree view select MPEG
3 Place a check in both boxes for read ID 3 V 1 and ID 3
V 2.
4 Be sure the write ID 3 V 1 is not checked.
5 Be sure the write ID 3 V 2 is checked
6 Check the Radio button to write ID 3 V 2.3 ISO 889-1
7 Place a check in the Remove ID 3 V1 check box.
8 Be sure the Remove ID 3 V 2 check box is not checked
9 the Remove APE box should be checked.
Hit the OK button and now you can begin editing your MP3 Tags for
transfer to the Icon.
Tagging the files after transfer to the Icon does not appear to
work. I suggest tagging the files and then doing the transfer to the
Icon.
I hope this makes sense. If you have any questions let me know.

Hi Keith:
There are hidden MP3 taggs in the MP3 files. Thus, you will need to
find an MP3 tagger. You might try doing a search on Google to find
one.

Hello,
What is the best way to get music on your B+ and have the artist,
album, and song titles recognized?
I have tried to name the folder by the artist and the album title as a
sub folder and this did not work well. So I tried to name the folder
with the artist and album name, but that did not give the results I
wanted either.
It is not consistent what works. Can anyone help me understand how to
make this work right? I have read the manual but I did not see how to
do this.
I was wondering if there are tags in the MP3 files that ID the artist,
album, and song name?
TIA,
Keith
