zircon Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I just reinstalled my operating system and my favorite media player, Winamp 2.95. However, for some reason it's now displaying all of my tagless songs as "-" on the playlist, instead of "filename" (which it should be doing - and was, on my last Windows install.) I can't find the option for this anywhere. Halp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Well I don't have Winamp 2.95, but I know in Winamp 5.xx that option is under General Preferences > Titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Just out of curiosity, why are you using Winamp 2? Winamp 5 with the classic skin (which is what I use) looks and behaves essentially the same as the older version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Preferences > Plug-ins > Input > Nullsoft MPEG Audio Decoder 2.96+AAC > Configure > Title/Tags > Title Formatting Default > %7 (i.e. File Name) If that doesn't work, dunno what else it would be. Just out of curiosity, why are you using Winamp 2? Winamp 5 with the classic skin (which is what I use) looks and behaves essentially the same as the older version. 2's not bloated.

zircon Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thanks, Larry. And yeah, Winamp 2 runs WAY better and faster than the latest version. Edit: OK, now the problem is that if I change the display to filename, my properly-tagged MP3s don't display the artist/title like they should. The problem is that tons of my MP3s have ONE tag (like date, or encoded with...) but not artist/title, so I guess Winamp reads them as having a tag anyway. Is there a way to get it to display filename IF and ONLY IF there is no artist + title? This is definitely how my old Winamp 2 was set up, and I don't remember how I did it.
