| 171185 | 2003-08-28 10:36:00 | Since downloading winamp tonite to see what it was like, almost 1000 of my audio files have changed their names. The all now have the name :Beatles All you need is love (1) Beatles All you need is love (2) etc etc thru to about (954) I can manually change them back to the original name but this will take ages. Does anyone know why it occured and what is a quick fix method of repair. System restore had no effect. Normally my default player is music match. and if it was winamp that was the problem I advise people to stay clear |

| 171186 | 2003-08-29 00:42:00 | I downloaded and have been using WinAmp 2.91 since it came out, and have followed WinAmp since the early days when it became freeware! I've also downloaded the v5 alpha pre-release, and havent had any troubles. You never mentioned which version, but regardless, Ive never heard of anything at all like this. Has it only afftected your ID3/v1 and v2 tags, or has it actually Re-named the files? It could be you simply need to hit Alt + 3 to get the Tag editor in WinAmp and remove the tags?! |

| 171187 | 2003-08-29 03:34:00 | Winamp and Music Match seem to have different ideas. I had a similar problem. I shot Winamp. (I have to use the other because my portable player needs it.) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 171188 | 2003-08-29 21:58:00 | It's the file name that has changed. Not the tags. The interesting thing is that winamp recognises the original title (in place sequence -not title) in the alphabetical playlist even 'tho it shows the renamed file title in it's display eg all Bob Dylans titles are in their correct sequence even 'tho the title says "Beatles All you need is love (123)" it appears to have copied the Beatles title big time and applies it to other songs |
