Hello. Iam having a problem with the taggng of my music. Iam using a Nas server where my music is stored. Iam using the skin, aeon mq4. I putted up my Music folder, but i found out that the artist name had the be in the Music File's name, so i used a progam called Mp3tag to do the tagging for me. everything is working with this program. No issues, every music file has the Artist name in it now.But here comes the catch. When iam going to Xbmc again and going to my music i just tagged. the name is still in its old name. I don't get it why it is not applying. Hopfully somebody has the answer to my problem

Have you verified that new tags were saved? Re-open files in MP3tag and see if still have new info or old.
FYI, in case you haven't realized it yet: When using MP3tag make sure you select a file on the right and then change its info on left. Once changed how you want you must SAVE icon to apply changes. If you select another track before saving currently selected one, you will lose all changes.

Well, if tags are correct and its a XBMC issue, afraid I can't help you. I haven't used XBMC yet myself. Still trying to get my file structure set up before I install XBMC. So I'm not familiar with how XBMC works and its settings yet.

Can we go back to your initial post. The filename is pretty irrelevant to XBMC except when you're browsing outside the library. I use mp3tag and a nas like you and have no problems. You just need to ensure that the title, artist, etc, fields are complete and then when you scan it should work correctly. To get filenames in mp3tag I just use the tag-filename option using track/title. As the previous poster said when you want to update XBMC both re-scan the folder you've updated and do a library clean in the music settings page. It should work as it does for me. Let us know how you get on.
