(Solved) Music player

#1 Post by geordiejohn »

Hello someone gave me a cd with all the beatles lps on it,but the titles were abbreviated,I managed to change the titles to the correct name,they were in wav form but I converted to mp3,I put them on my Acer 32 bit chromebook book but when I play them it does not tell me the group or titles does anyone know of a Linux music player that would do this please?
Thank you.

Both Clementine and Strawberry will show the titles and much more, *IF* the mp3's have that meta info in them.
*QSI = Quick System Info from menu (Copy for Forum)
*MXPI = MX Package Installer
*Please check the solved checkbox on the post that solved it.
*Linux -This is the way!

As CharlesV says, Clementine is awesome. You can right click any entry to edit it. It displays title and artist when playing.
That makes it great in case you have more than one version and want to display that when playing.
One thing though, make sure you back up because it is a real sad experience if your forget and do something that looses that info after all the work of inputting it.
And no, I didn't forget to back up, but I have done the dumb things and messed up my playlists and was sooooooo happy for backups.
I love all the options for organizing multiple playlists of the same collection with various requirements. I guess you can tell I kinda like Clementine????

Many media players will, you may first want to find if it contains that metadata.
Would mat2 determine that specifically enough?
cd to directory, then mat2 filename, or include path.

There's probably and easier way to determine it, I'd search the interweb. :p
