But as soon as the title it changed from within iTunes, iTunes stores the edited title as a tag.Voice Memos may be the most easily ignored, but actually a very useful feature on our iPhone. When importing a new voice memo, iTunes apparantly stores the title ONLY in its database therefore, the title is not stored as a tag and MP3TAG cannot read the title. So it seems that iTunes is programmed to automatically apply one of two different ways of storing voice memo titles. I have updated my original posting with the following edit:Īfter another attempt I did get MP3TAG to read a voice memo's title after I had edited it in iTunes. They recommend to use the "convert ID3 tags" function. If you google a little, you might stumble across something like this:

APE is usually a bad idea), you could check the files for integrity with MP3val or MP3diags. Just to be sure: you could go through the whole business of checking which tag versions you find in the files (e.g. How should MP3tag change this behaviour in iTunes. You found yourself that any data entered with MP3tag is represented in iTunes. I'm confused as to how MP3TAG handles all this and how I can use MP3TAG to present the tag contents I'm looking for.Ĭould you ask Apple about this? Mp3tag duly tells you that there are some fields filled but others are not. However, this doesn't work the other way round: MP3TAG doesn't show any change in the title made with other programs (Explorer, iTunes) even after I close and restart those applications and MP3TAG.

Strangely, when I manually edit a voice memo's empty title tag in MP3TAG, this is automatically updated to the memo's name field in iTunes as well as to the title tag in the file properties in Windows Explorer. Titles of my iTunes music tracks are shown perfectly in MP3TAG. This seems to be the case only with voice memo's.

I expect that any title that is presented in iTunes, will also be shown in MP3TAG, but this isn't so.

I cannot use MP3TAG to append my descriptive title to the file name, as the "Title" tag shows empty for every voice memo. Now, as many of my voice memo's are of a confidential nature, I need to save them outside of my iTunes library, but still be able to search through the descriptions, meaning titles. I would like to use a tag editor such as MP3TAG to append (add) the descriptive title to the file name, making it one combined file name.Īfter importing such voice memo's to my Windows PC, my iTunes library presents each memo recording and uses my given title as the "name" of the track. The descriptive titles I add are helpful whenever I'm looking for a certain voice memo in my archives. This file name is generated automatically, consisting of date and time. Whenever I record a voice memo on my iPhone, I save it with a descriptive title. On my Windows machine, MP3TAG doesn't show any titles of my voice memo's.
