Hi Joel,
Sure enough. As soon as I mounted the remote
volume, used iTunes to change the version of
the ID3 tags to v2.3, and restarted the play-
list, the artist and title information got
displayed correctly.
Now, it will display this:
Let's Stay Together - Al Green
as opposed to this:
01-Let's Stay Together.mp3
All of my .mp3 files are currently tagged
with v2.4, but this is a minor inconvenience
to me since I always convert these files to
a lower bitrate for streaming anyway. While
I look forward to a fix (whether it be on
the server or client side), I am just happy
to have a workaround.
Thanks for the help and suggestion, Joel!
Jeff
