I have seen a few posts in this sub forum about some people having trouble with GB ROMs not reading MP3 tags properly. (The_Chief , monsterenergy22 and bjamerican specifically) I came across something this weekend that you might want to look at.
I just flashed LGB 1.6 and in the process did some cleanup of my SD card including the music I had on there. When I launched the new music player I noticed a few of my songs were "unidentified" and had no artwork associated with them. Knowing these same files had worked before, I figured it was the same issue mentioned by those above.
There were 2 full albums that were incorrect and a single song from a 3rd album as well. I went into iTunes and checked them all, tags and artwork were there. I recopied them to the phone multiple times and deleted the music player's data multiple times and could not get them to show up properly. I tried converting the tags to different versions, didn't work. I even tried the old music player, the MIUI player and Power amp as well, none worked.
Later on, by chance, I happened to notice when iTunes was bringing up the artwork for the 2 full albums it took a few seconds. Most other albums loaded immediately. I then realized, back when I ripped those albums, I could not find artwork online for them and has scanned the covers myself resulting in rather large .jpg files. I went online and found new artwork that was much smaller (300K vs 3.2MB). I once again recopied those files to my phone, deleted the music player's data and magic. The files from both albums were read correctly. I also checked the one individual song that was incorrect and found I had 3 copies of the same artwork on that file. Deleting 2 of them fixed the issue there as well.
So, I'm, wondering if any of you who have had issues with GB ROMS reading MP3 tags could take a look at this and see if this fix applies to you?
