Question

Help multiple copies of the same genres...???

Feb 28, 2012 10:09PM PST

My genres on my mp3 split into 2 sometimes 3 or 4 of the same genre...so say I have 300 songs under the rock genre...when I sync my mp3's I end up with 3 genres all labeled "rock" with my mp3's split between them. How can I just get 1 genre and all the mp3's to go into the same genre. I use a program called mp3 tag and in my itunes and windows media player everything is tagged correctly and under 1 genre...can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong??

I have my mp3 files stored in itunes for my IPOD and I plug in my IPOD and sync...when I go to the genre section I will see 3 genres for lets say the "Rolling Stones" (nothing is any different with spelling) so the tagging is OK. In itunes there is only one genre of the "Rolling Stones". This is only happening during the sync to the IPOD...its so confusing. It has also happened on my Creative Zen. But other genres are fine...its only some of them it happens too. So I reset my IPOD and cleared all my music off and did it again...this time "Rolling Stones" genre was fine...others had multiple genres that were fine before. I also did it to my Zen and the same thing happened...is it meHappy
