likehellican Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hi guys. Just grabbed the ocremix library via torrent and am pondering the best way to organize this within my Zune library. Basically my problem is that everything is tagged by artist with the ocremix url as the album. What I would like to do is find a program to take a batch of these files and change the artist tag to 'ocremix,' the album tag to the 'game name' and credit the remixer in the song title. This would allow me to sort these mixes out of my normal collection, and be able to browse by game on the go. Such a program might not exist that specifically to my needs but doesn't actually sound that far-fetched. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

likehellican Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Excellent. I did do a quick search but only saw zune vs ipod threads so I gave that up quickly. Will delve deeper before posting next time. Giving this a shot now, thanks a bunch guys =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millman Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 So I have had issues with the Zune software storing remixes properly. The big issue being that some songs tend to 'overwrite' other songs. For example I try to add both FFVII Aeris Lives (Kevin Lau) and FFVI Seized with Fury (housethegrate), but only one is added. The software says its found 2 new media items, but only one is added to my OCR album (Areis Lives), and I cannot ever find the other (Seized with Fury), even by browsing every song, album, and artist. When I try to re-add Seized with Fury it can be found in the OCR album, but now Aeris Lives is nowhere to be found. If I reattempt to add Aeris Lives, it comes back to the album but Seized with Fury is gone again, and so on. I have downloaded MusicBrainz to make sure all the the ID tagging is correct, and it all checks in fine. Album Artist, Artist, Year, Album, etc., it's all what it's supposed to be. The one thing I HAVE noticed, is that most of the songs that overwrite one-another have similar time lengths. In this case, Aeris Lives is 5:59 min and Seized with Fury is 6:00 min. Other overwrites have similar times as well, but some are a little more drastic than others. Has anyone else with Zune software had a similar issue? Oh, and we please not make this a Microsoft hate thread? We definitely have more than enough of those already. I just want some help here, thanks.

starla Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 My Sansa behaves as a mass storage device. I have yet to flash the bios, but once I do, I will be able to play mods. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theory of N Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I hate the Zune software because of the fact that when you try to search songs by artist, it searches by ALBUM artist rather than individual song artists. That's really annoying with OC Remixes because there's so many of them and I have to put "Various Artists" for the album artist in order for it to be under one album rather than 375898 albums of the same name. So I can't search remixes by artist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xac Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 well actually you can you just gotta change the setting so the artists show up in the artists area for the album and the artists you have set to the song as for your thing mill I haven't had this prob before and i havent used the zune software anytime recently cause a my dad took my zune and b the software stoped working awhile ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 You guys are always talking about hate. Let's talk about love. Alright. Zune software loves to hate OCR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I would love my Zune except for issues like this, and the fact that multi-artist albums are all separated by artist in the album view. Also where the fuck are the asian fonts, half my Zune is full of squares :V Also, it likes to draw info from the weirdest fucking places. "Album Artist" is somehow preferred over just "Artist." Okay, so basically, Microsoft has a problem with organization. If I were allowed to sync my Zune with windows media player, another microsoft product, which I did with my non-microsoft MP3 player [Zen], it would already be perfectly fine. Boggling. I wish Creative were still making high capacity Zen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xac Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 you to i wish i had my zen but that got taken away to, i had a creative zen sleek photo, i accidently burnt some piece on the inside but it seems to work fine still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCetra Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 So... it looks like this issue has been brought up once before, but I don't think there was any solution. I'm having a problem with the Zune software and certain OCRs that tend to conflict with one another. It seems that they are both recognized by the software, but only one is ever in the library at one time. For instance: We've got Chrono Cross Another Inspiration (by Scott Peeples) and Chrono Cross Time Voyager (by Chronosis). Two separate songs, two separate files. Only... in the Zune player, it thinks these songs are the same. It's a strange problem, and a little hard to explain. Has anyone else had an issue with this? And, more importantly, did you find a way to fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGON Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 So let's say I have an OCRA but it has different artists in it I wanna play the whole album but it seperates the album by artists. What do I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 an annoying idiosyncrasy of the software to get around it, highlight all the albums in the software, then highlight all the songs in the song bar and drag those over to one of the album clones that should consolidate them all into one album I've pulled my hair out over this multiple times, myself.
