Once you’ve done your initial major loading of the Fuze, you’ll probably just be moving a few albums at a time, and at that point the mp3tag step is easy. See if you can isolate the problem files and just fix them–either before you send them over or in the copy that’s on the Fuze. It takes just seconds per album, but if you have a big library that will take some time. Then click the X to take the images out of the tags. If you highlight all the files and the cover appears, click on the little floppy disc icon, and mp3tag will store one in the album folder as folder.xxx in the same image format (hopefully. png or other graphic formats don’t get displayed by the Fuze). You don’t need the album cover in every file–just in the same folder, named, folder.jpg or album.jpg (sorry. Under View, highlight files that might be giving you a problem and see if the album cover is imbedded. It will also change the tag version to ID3v.23 because that’s how you told it to save them. Leading zeros will give you 01, 02, 03 as track number and make sure they play in order. Highlight them all (in correct order, top to bottom) and under Tools, use the Auto-Numbering Wizard to Add leading zeros. (checkbox during install)Ĭhange the default under Tools/Options/Tags/Mpeg to Write ID2v2.3 ISO-8859-1, the Fuze’s favorite format. Install mp3tag and have it add itself to context menus. I run all my albums through mp3tag to make them Fuze-friendly. If it stumbles over a tag, annoying things happen. When the Fuze loads after you have added or removed music, it reads the ID3 tags, the electronic labels of the files, and makes a database: Artist, Album, etc. That will help you find the problem files. If you can connect to the computer again, take the whole library off and send it over in smaller chunks. For instance, if there are giant embedded images in the tags, or long comments, or foreign characters, the Fuze’s tiny brain may not be able to handle them. Though my guess is that what’s happening is that it’s running into something from your library it can’t read. You shouldn’t be having this problem with a new unit.
