Make any other changes that seem sensible to you: make sure the track numbers are in order, etc. Highlight them all, make the Genre Audiobooks. That’s Windows text display, different from Apple. Open each one and choose ISO-8859-1 for text encoding. Under Tags you’ll see Tag 1 and Tag 2 tabs.

Install it, open it, go to Settings and Configure Kid3. Since you are in Mac land you should probably get kid3, a free tag editor.

So take them off the Sansa and fix them on the computer. You could fix them one by one with Get Info. ID3 tags are the electronic labels in the file that name Album, Artist, Track and, most importantly for you, Genre (Audiobooks). Unless you scroll down Music and go to Folders, the Sansa reads ID3 tags, not filenames. I do know what tagging is as I have used it when listing Etsy products.
Kid3 not reading tag how to#
Many Thanks, and please no snide remarks, I have been using computers for 20 years and am on my 5th player, own an ipad and an iphone and know how to use them so don’t presume I am a complete idiot. All of the answers presume a familiarity with the process which I do not have.Ĭan someone please provide an Idiot’s Guide to doing this? Picture me a toddler who is given the keys to the car and told to put air in the tires - Step one, Open the car door, step two, put the key in the ignition. I have searched the forums for an answer to this question and all of the answers seem to lead back to “retag the files.” I honestly don’t know what this entails or how to do it. I check the files in Finder and as far as I can tell they all have the same information, so I don’t understand where or what tagging info I am looking for. I have tried moving the book folder out of Audiobooks entirely, no change. I tried moving the book folder to Podcasts, no change. I tried renaming the files with 01 sequence but it had no effect.

Today I downloaded 2 books and they both ended up there with the files alternating. Periodically some of the books will download properly but when I transfer them to the player (using a Mac) they get placed in the Music/Audiobooks/Unknown file. I use my Clip+ to download and listen to audiobooks from the Overdrive libraray.
