Audio20 USB Media Database Refresh
I've got an annoying niggle with my Audio20 system.
In summary I can't refresh the Artist data associated with a USB stick, stored in my Audio20.
Sorry for the long post.
I transferred all my music to a USB stick, plugged it in and it all looks fine.
When I first searched for artists it displayed some message about searching for Data and gave me a Yes/No option (I haven't seen this message since)
Thats the good news
However when I search for Music via Artist there were numerous Artists with duplicate entries, due to detailing a featuring Artist within the MP3 id3 tag.
For example the Artist list reads
Mark Ronson
Mark Ronson feat Stevie Wonder
Mark Ronson feat Bruno Mars
Mark Ronson feat Andrew Wyatt.
This happens for numerous artists and clogs up the artist list.
So I removed the USB, plugged it in the PC and edited the associated MP3 tags to ensure the Album Artist for all tracks in that Album read just 'Mark Ronson'
Plugged it back in the car.
Searched via Artist, and the list is the same i.e
Mark Ronson
Mark Ronson feat Stevie Wonder
Mark Ronson feat Bruno Mars
Mark Ronson feat Andrew Wyatt.
So I select the Artist name
'Mark Ronson feat Stevie Wonder' and play the track.
Initially the playing display shows the artist as 'Mark Ronson feat Stevie Wonder' then after a few seconds it updates to only read 'Mark Ronson' eg its responded to the updated MP3 tag.
When I return to the Artist list, this has also updated but now it reads.
Mark Ronson
Mark Ronson
Mark Ronson feat Bruno Mars
Mark Ronson feat Andrew Wyatt.
Which still doesn't give me the desired affect
So I thought I would plug in another USB stick with music, in a hope to force it to refresh the Artist list. Which it did for the small subset of music I had on the 2nd stick i.e it only listed the music on the 2nd stick, which didn't include Mark Ronson.
Then I plugged the original USB stick back in, and checked the Artist list and found had returned to the following.
Mark Ronson
Mark Ronson
Mark Ronson feat Bruno Mars
Mark Ronson feat Andrew Wyatt.
So I can't find a way to force the Audio20 to reset its memory of Artist data stored on a USB stick.
All very strange.
