Probably easier on your laptop/desktop with something like mediamonkey/tagnrename etc or even windows if its a few files...

Hello,
I transferred several mp3s ripped from CDs with spoken text to my N900. Now all these tracks are shown in the albums list as "Unknown Album" by "Unknown Artist" - yes, separated by CD, so at least I can figure out which is wich by the number of tracks in each of the "Unknown albums".
Now all I want to do is edit that information, entering album title and Artist name, but i can't figure out how.
How can i do this on the N900?
thanks, Ben

Sorry but I don't think you can do that with the current software on the N900

Anyhow, precisely which is the information to edit or the software to use on a windows PC in order for the Maemo mediaplayer to find it? Would i have to put that into the metadata? Because e.g. entering an album title into Win MP will keep that info only there, not attached to the file, so it gets lost once the file is moved...
thanks, Ben

I don't know on windows, on linux programs like "easytag" make a very decent work.

Thanks a lot, finally, this is exactly the information that i was looking for!
So to enable Maemo Media Player to find info about all your audio files all you need is an id3 tag editor (one that works on windoze is here: http://www.nch.com.au/tageditor/)

Any idea how to make it work? is there a different way of editing these? maybe even from the command line? is it possible to access the id3 tags somehow using a simple text editor?
thanks
