Windows 10: MP3 metadata such as Album name can't be modified

Hi, for the recent months, I have been facing a problem when editing the metadata of my MP3 files. When I try to change any of the file's metadata, such as the album name or artist, it says the following:An unexpected error is keeping you from applying properties to the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem:Error 0x8007000D: The data is invalid.I tried changing it inside Groove Music, and it says that it can't be changed due to an unexpected error. This is what it says:I also noticed that all of the MP3 files I downloaded s

MP3 Metadata Problem...Can't Edit Without Deleting Other Values

Here are some ideas about programs I used to sort out the MP3 metadata to ensure my car displays track details correctly.

1. Use the free program Tagscanner TagScanner - The Ultimate Tag Editor to check and edit the MP3 file metadata for artist, album art etc. The same editing can be done in iTunes but Tagscanner is much easier and faster. Check both the artist and album artist fields are completed, the song name & album name are correct, track number & disc number are set and that embedded album art is present for every track. Note multiple tracks can be selected and edited simultaneously.
2. Use free program MP3Test Willkommen auf Shivan's Homepage to quickly check and test for MP3 file errors. Correct any simple errors using Tagscanner.
3. Use the free program MP3Diags MP3 Diags to perform a detailed check of MP3 files and correct errors. This program has a learning curve and some experience to use.

 

Albums not appearing in album list yet songs are listed?

When you rip a music CD the information is available for the metadata/mp3 tags, so the album, song and artist information is included in the metadata. When you put it on the phone it displays as expected.

Sounds like your CD was your own music so the only info that was available was the song name. There are programs available to edit/add mp3 metadata/tags so you can enter the song artist and album information you want and will dispaly on the phone.

The phone depends on mp3 tags to list music by album, artist and song.

'Unknown' is displayed if the mp3 tag information is not there.

 

Can't edit mp3 tags from explorer

I had a hard time a few weeks ago compiling MP3 files to play on MZD Connect on my Mazda. There were various tagging and data integrity issues which I fixed as below. My approach may be overkill for your needs!

MP3 File Analysis

1. MP3 files store music metadata (ID3 Tags) which can be in several formats. ID3 Tag v2.3 has proven to work with MZD Connect. The ID3 Tags can be converted in iTunes by viewing the tracks in Library / Songs view then selecting File / Convert / Convert ID3 Tags, then select v2.3. An alternative method is listed in step 3 below.
2. Use the free program Tagscanner TagScanner - The Ultimate Tag Editor to check and edit the MP3 file metadata for artist, album art etc. The same editing can be done in iTunes but Tagscanner is much easier and faster. Check both the artist and album artist fields are completed, the song name & album name are correct, track number & disc number are set and that embedded album art is present for every track. Note multiple tracks can be selected and edited simultaneously.
3. Check the tags for each music file are correctly set to v2.3 in Tagscanner. Cut the tag then paste it back in the same place to set v2.3 if the incorrect version is set.
4. Perform a Google image search for the artist and album name to find a JPG file for missing album covers. Save a suitable artwork file size c. 300x300 pixels then add the album art for each track in Tagscanner.
5. Use free program MP3Test Willkommen auf Shivan's Homepage to quickly check and test for MP3 file errors. Correct any simple errors using Tagscanner.
6. Use the free program MP3Diags MP3 Diags to perform a detailed check of MP3 files and correct errors. This program has a learning curve and some experience to use. Inexperienced computer users may prefer to skip this step and just rely on step 5 above.
