A lot of the information in my music library is either wrong or in the wrong place - ie Unknown artist or album title or track numbers rather than song titles. Could anyone please tell me if there is such a thing as auto tagging and if so how do I go about it. Ive been told all the correct info is embedded in the album but Im old and silly so I dont know about such witchcraft. Thanks in advance.

You might have bad data in the albumartist tag which would cause some things to show up incorrectly. In the scanner in GMMP, you can try running a clean scan with the "Ignore albumartist" option checked (be sure to check delete database to make sure everything is cleared first) if things are still looking off.. i can recommend a tagging program to help ensure all your music is tagged properly. www.mp3tag.de/en/there are plenty of other tagging utilities out there if the one above isnt to your liking

I have no affiliation with Bliss but I really cannot recommend Bliss enough for sorting out tens of thousands of mp3's AUTOMATICALLY! give it a go, its a free trial!

I have a little issue with album arts tags in FLAC files: I use MediaMonkey to look for covers and disc info and even though they show fine in WMP (with FLAC support plugin) and MM itsself, many of them have no pictures shown in GMMP. Are you thinking (maybe...) about some automatic albumart (HD pics only? ) discovery via internet? That would be killer as well.

Could you send me one of the files where the tags dont show up? I just took a look at the code and it seems that I dont check for Xiph comments in flac files. Most likely your files have the artwork in those tags
FLAC can store album art info in id3v2 tags, flac tags, or xiph tags.. so it can get quite confusing
GMMP has had automatic album art discovery since the early alphas (prefs -> general -> album art preferences -> Auto download album art). It'll do a bing image search for "Artistname Albumname" and choose the top result.

well i been staring at the binary of the file you sent and another flac file i have that works in gmmp and the big difference i am seeing is the file you sent me has the width and length bytes all set to 0.. so thats probably why it doesnt load.. because it thinks the image is 0x0. The question is.. how do other apps read that image in so it works?

can you Pls make an option that gmmp will ignor all tags and will show only the file name? i dont look at the info in the tags, thay are Full of errors, Mostly files downloaded from the Internet. thay put the name of the uploder or names that very long. in "now plaing" window, the "next song" show tag name and not the file name.. in the playlists list the songs shown as tags and not the file name???
