@ToñoSecundino If you are editing the ‘comment’ tag of your mp3s using an external program, it may not work. I wrote a script using php-reader-1.8.1 from the Zend PHP framework to add the file system location of each of my mp3s to the Comment field. No matter what I tried, the comment I added did not display in itunes. I used the php-reader tools to discover that multiple sub-comments exist in the mp3. There is the comment that my external tool wrote and there is the comment that iTunes writes. They are two different comments.

Hi Chinto

I just wanted to hear if you managed to find a way to fix this query – http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=754dc244e094269d&hl=en

I’m having the same issue. I changed the password on my desktop @ work & now can’t sync anymore.

Thanks

using iTunes 10 on a Mac, I found I had to make some change to metadata to force an update. i examined the fields available and determined since there was no valuable bpm data in any of my 50k+ tracks, I would set bpm to a value of 1. it takes time to update of course, but if i wish i can set it back to nothing again. if i use an external program to calculate (and write) bpm’s, i’ll need to use a different field in the future.

Thanks, Jason. That worked for me, though it takes some time. But, at least it shoved the stubborn iTunes into action. None of the other solutions had worked for me and I don’t really care about the ‘date modified’ field.

Stubborn tags will update…. wait for it…. when you play the track! – just updated 400 tracks in 2 mins by tapping down arrow and return keys! safe and reliable!

• select all
• right-click
• select “convert ID3 tags…”
• check the box and select the latest version
• click “OK”

This will cause iTunes to refresh your ID3 tags (even in iTunes 10).
Beware: your “Date Modified” field will be updated to reflect the time of the refresh, so if you need that data, take note of it first.

Can’t get this to work in ITunes 10 in windows, even when I have updated the comments field.
