[QUOTE="KevL, post: 175173, member: 11798"] I think I understand why the wav file titles are appearing as "unknown" (if I understand the format of the musicdatabasev8.db3 file correctly (big if)). I opened the database using the supplied sql db viewer app. In the table "song" I see many fields. One is called strFilename (presumably filename string) this is populated with sensible looking titles (e.g. horrible-Tune1.wav) I can see that there is another field called strTitle (presumably the title of the song which is then displayed in the song title field in the MP music player menu). The strTitle field is entirely empty. So if the intention is for the music database scanning program to populate the strTitle field with the string from the filename field, minus the .wav string at the end, when it encouters untagged music files - then it appears (for whatever reason) that this is not happening. Still cant rule out incompetence on my part. Kev [/QUOTE]
