Subsonic not reading updated tags

[billz68]

Problem Description: I have been updating my ID3 Tags using EasyTag. I have gotten about 35% through my collection and decided to force a rescan of my music files in Subsonic to get it to pick up the changes. But the changes are not showing. When I select an album I've changed and click "edit tags" it still shows the old tags (the ones it displays anyway - it doesn't show Album Artist so I don't know if Subsonic even recognizes it.) But I changed genre for all tracks on one album, for instance, from "Religious" to "Contemporary Christian' and subsonic still shows "Religious." My player (XenoAmp on android) uses tags to sort albums and am using "Album Artist" to keep tracks with different artists together, but it's not working because the tags are wrong.

Troubleshooting Steps:
1. Restarted the Subsonic service and forced a rescan
2. Removed my Music folder from settings, restarted the service, and doing a rescan. No change.
3. Found instructions here to delete my database. Did that, re-added my music folder, did a rescan. Still shows old tags.

Playback Application and version: XenoAmp beta for Android. However I don't think it matters since the wrong tags are displayed in the Subsonic web interface.

Subsonic Version: 4.9 (build 3819) – January 23, 2014

Server Version: jetty-6.1.x, java 1.6.0_30, Linux (141.7 MB / 145.0 MB)

Hardware Platform: Linux Mint 13 "Maya" 32bit

Java Memory Limit: Don't know how to find this.

Problem Filename: Many. For example "11. El Shaddai.ogg"

As you can see, for example, it shows the updated Genre. Subsonic still sees "Religious."

Any help would be appreciated! Also, does Subsonic use more tags than the ones shown on the "Edit Tags" screen?

This issue is my first post in this forum and so far not a single reply. I love subsonic but am finding it difficult to get help with things that aren't addressed in the documentation. I'm going to try pointing it to a folder with only one track, removing the music folder from settings and cleaning up the database so that it removes the existing tracks. Then I'll switch back to my music folder and do it again. It just seems like reading tags during scan would be a basic function.

Hi -

I'm not sure which version of the Subsonic server you're running, but I'm running SubSonic Premium 5.1 beta, but I've had this issue since 4.7 for OS X.
What I've had to do is trash the database and start over. It is suspected that this issue can occur if there are multiple instances of SubSonic running, but that wasn't the case for me.

I quit the application, then browse to /Library/Application Support/Subsonic/db and trash the subsonic.backup and subsonic.data directories. Then I start the application back up, go to settings, and let the software scan my library again.

Best of luck,
Matt
