Understanding Music Tagging Issues
Have you ever changed the tags of a song but noticed no changes in your music player? Or perhaps you've encountered a situation where two songs with the same album name create different albums? These inconsistencies can be frustrating, especially when the tags of a song do not align with what is displayed in the music player tag editor. But why does this happen?
The primary reason is that some tag editors only modify ID3 tags. In contrast, TagMusic directly alters both the Android MediaStore and ID3 tags. The MediaStore is a database where Android stores metadata for media files, which plays a crucial role in how your music is organized and displayed.
