I've loaded quite a bit of mp3s into MythMusic, and I've subsequently edited their id3 tags (artist/track/album info) using another program. When I re-scan my collection, the changed information in the id3 tags doesn't show up. I even deleted everything from the musicmetadata table, and re-scanned... it sill shows the old id3 information. Is it cached somewhere else? What do I have to do to get the new info to show up in MythMusic?

After some digging, I seem to have found the problem. I was editing the tags using iTunes, which only changes the id3v2 tag... it leaves the id3v1 tag as it was. If I remove the id3v1 tag using the command below (then remove from the myth db, and re-scan,) it fixed the problem.

# id3v2 --delete-v1 myfile.mp3

I then removed the v1 tags from all of my mp3 files using the command:

# find /myth/music -name '*.mp3' -exec id3v2 --delete-v1 {} \;

(note - I don't remember if the program "id3v2" came with the KnoppMyth distro, or if I installed it myself)

30.2 it was not installed. So just
apt-get install id3v2

works like a charm!!

Thanks!!
