"Show Artists With 7 Songs" What's This?
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to get my head around this "Show Artists With 7 Songs".
I am assuming this means exactly what it says, but
when I refresh my 'Album List' the list starts with 01 and the Album Images for 01, then it Lists 02 and some Album Images. OK but When I scroll
down I have to pass a long list of 01 01 01 01 01 02 02 02 02 02 02 02 02 02 03 03 03 03 03 03 03..... etc... 19 19 19 19
19 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20
......like this until I keep scrolling down to the first 'A' Album list. Is this meant to be or can I change this look so that when I select 'Album
List' I get the 'A' Album images at the top, straight away.
If anyone knows what I mean, can they please help?
Keep up the good work Audiosoft!

The 'Show Artists With X Songs' option only deals with the artist list and makes it only show the artist name when there are X songs or more by the
artist in the database. For the album list equivalent you can change the 'cover art with at least x songs' under the album list 'Options' button.
The 01 02 03 etc is showing up because some of your songs currently have the artist name as 01, 02, 03, etc. To correct this you can edit those songs
with the eJukebox editor and delete them (from eJukebox) or rename them to the actual artist names. Start by clicking the 01 in the album list to show
all songs with the artist 01..now right click the first song name title in the songlist and Edit the song. In the eJukebox song editor look at the
filepath or play the preview and figure out the correct artist. Then rename the artist or delete the file from eJukebox. Then refresh your artist and
album lists and the 01's will be gone.

Thanks Audiosoft and thanks for the quick response.
Your answer is very clear but I am still confused.....
Before I started using eJukebox my ID tags were not that clean. I understand now that most media players and mp3 Jukeboxes will read the ID tag inside
the mp3. I have now learned to keep my ID tags as clean as possible ie.
Artist, Album, Year, Genre, Track No. Track Name.
In Windows Explorer, for the file name I use '01 - Song title.mp3'
In the ID tag, I obviously only use 'Song title'
These days I am constantly and painfully checking my ID Tags to make sure they don't contain any UNICODE (advised by Pirk) or any eJukebox
un-friendly characters.
This is where my confusion lies..
None of my Artists' names have the name as 01, 02, 03, etc.
and, only certain artists are affected by this.
As you suggested - I've examined these files in the eJukebox song editor and strangely it shows 01, 02, 03, etc. as the Artist name (for some - not
all).
I am comparing my eJukebox settings to my actual mp3 files and observing for any obvious pattern(s) that might cause this to happen but nothing is
jumping out at me. I have rebuilt the database a few times already and am considering a clean re-install of eJukebox.
I just can't see what's going on!

If the artist name in not in the mp3 tag and the file is named 01 - Song title.mp3 eJukebox will not get the artist when you build the music database.
To correct this; you can edit those songs in eJukebox and it will save the artist name you enter in the mp3 tag or you can rename those files as track
- artist - title.xxx or artist - title.xxx and then rebuild the database.

Sorry Audiosoft...
....but none of my mp3's are missing Artist names or have those numbered Artist names. I will come back to you on this.
Thanks again. ollielaroo

Hi Audiosoft,
I had to re-install and that's done the trick. Sorry to put you through that. My .asn file is now down to half the size it was, now 134MB. :-)
Don't take offense, eJukebox is brilliant! but I'm wondering are there any future plans to provide an option to remove/hide some of the items from
the Menu at the top, while in Kiosk mode? eg: could I take out 'Home' and 'Tools'?
Keep up the good work Audiosoft!
