Songs with No Artist/Title Information

I have synced my .wma files on my computer to my phone (onto the microSD card) and 81 of the 301 songs I transferred came over with no title or artist information. The songs still play, but not information. I have checked in Windows Media 10 and all the information is there.

The other 120 songs display correctly. I am guessing something about filename lenght or something, but I would think the copy would not even work if that were the case.

Any one else run into this? Any suggestions?

Thanks...

OK, not to answer my own question, but... in case anyone else runs into this. I messed around until I figured it out.

Evidently when the songs were synced to the phone, the "Library Database" was not completed properly.

Anyway, to fix this...

Got to "Get it Now" on the menu

Then Get Tunes & Tones

Then "Manage Music"

Then choose a song by artist, genre, whatever

Select "Options"

Then choose "Reinitialize libary database".

This will then re-pull all the tag information from the files.

Hope this helps someone else in the future.
