Switcheroo22 0 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 After the Switch Sound Format Converter completes the conversion of WMA files to mp3 files, I usually don’t input any tag into the Genre field. Nevertheless, when I don’t input a tag and when I later view the converted files detail using Windows Explorer, the Genre field will show “(148)”. What does (148) mean? How can I prevent Switch from automatically putting this “(148)” tag into the Genre field when I want the field to be blank? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N_C_H_josh 0 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I've never seen that before, but there are exactly 148 predefined Genres. Under Options-->Automatic Tag Writing, do you have "Copy track information from the CD database into the output file audio tags" checked? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Switcheroo22 0 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi, N_C_H_josh. Yes, under Automatic Tag Writing, the option for "Copy track information from the CD database into the output file audio tags" is indeed selected. I never concerned myself with that option because I haven't been dealing with CD's when using Switch. So I went ahead and un-checked that option, and then converted 2 other WMA files to mp3 files, while leaving the Genre field blank. Unfortunately, "(148)" is still showing up in the Genre field in the final mp3 files. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spockroc 0 Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 I get the same. I have found that it populate GENRE with "(148)". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
