Rupert Posted Wednesday at 01:36 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:36 PM Build Number: build-967-bundle-play [976004 c2601e58] fill version Hiby R4 - Android 12 Hi! First time posting here, so apologies if I have missed anything or ask any stupid questions. I also couldn't find any prior posts with similar issues so sorry if I am making any obvious errors. I am in the process of setting up Poweramp on my Hiby R4 and noticed that some albums show the track numbers in the song name and the track number metadata section. I have checked on the tag editor in Poweramp and in Musicolet to see if the titles can be editedto remove this from appearing twice, but as you can see in my screenshot - the number does not appear and therefore can't be edited out. You can see that the filename itself includes the number but I can't seem to find a way to edit this either. It's frustrating as clearly the app is removing the number from the editing section of the tag section, but then shows it regardless. Minor issue, I know - but if anyone can offer any advice please do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted Wednesday at 03:05 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:05 PM First, that's quite an old build so I suggest updating when you get a chance. Have you tried a Full Rescan in case for some reason the tag data was not read correctly during the last scan, and the title is being used instead? However in case case I would have expected the same display as if "Filename as Title" was enabled, which would show the full filename including the extender too. If that does not solve it, could you upload a sample file for checking. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted Wednesday at 04:25 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 04:25 PM Oh I didn't realise I was on an older build - I can't see an option in the settings to update, or on the Play store. Do you know how I can update it? Yes - have done many full rescans. The filename as title setting is also definitely off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted Wednesday at 04:29 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:29 PM If this is only happening on certain songs, please could you post an example file directly from your device. Current beta build is 985 by the way, current Play Store build is 976. But I don't think that will solve your problem. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted Wednesday at 05:35 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 05:35 PM I downloaded the app from the website and that has solved the issue - thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted Wednesday at 10:43 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 10:43 PM Hello again Unfortunately seem to still have this issue on some files. All of the same problems as before - but the album looks like the screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted Wednesday at 10:44 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 10:44 PM Here is an example file - was the only one small enough I could upload! 1-11 Smoking on my Ex Pack.m4a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted Wednesday at 11:11 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:11 PM @Rupert That file works fine for me. It's an M4A (Apple) so less well-specified than other formats, but it should still work fine. Do the songs which have this issue change after a Full Rescan, or do songs with the problem always show that way? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted Wednesday at 11:13 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 11:13 PM It works fine yes - plays without issue. My issue is the number showing twice. And yes, have full rescanned a few times today and it still persists unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted Wednesday at 11:38 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 11:38 PM @andrewilley here's another example if that helps at all. Am scrolling through my music and there are quite a few still stuck like this. Still showing correctly in the tags, but showing the extra track number in Poweramp. 1-06 Blue Note Interlude.m4a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted Wednesday at 11:41 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 11:41 PM Not sure if this setting would be relevant here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6b6561 Posted Thursday at 05:37 AM Share Posted Thursday at 05:37 AM I had a go at the most recent file that you uploaded and I can't replicate the double track number issue that you have. I have also looked at the meta data and as far as I can tell there isn't any issues there either. Unfortunately I'm quite new to aac and m4a containers, but I had a crash course on the topic last week when I was desperate with my car stereo and considered to bulk convert my library into aac... Do you happen to have the same issue with some .mp3's? Could be easier to look into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted Thursday at 09:17 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 09:17 AM @6b6561 Unfortunately almost all of my library is AAC so I can't send over an MP3 example. i think I may have found a fix though. By going to settings > library > lists and switching from 'separate number' to 'in the title' and then back again seems to fix the issue. Seems a little strange, but it works!

Seems a little strange, but it works! Strange indeed. I had discounted that setting as being the issue, as your examples already showed the separate smaller number being displayed to the left of the title string. As that control specifically turns off the "in the title" numbering mode, it should not have been possible for both to be active at the same time. Maybe something got stuck from a previous change? We might never know! But I don't think it was down to the files, they do seem OK. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted Thursday at 02:40 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 02:40 PM @andrewilley Annoyingly I am still getting this error pop up on a select few albums (screenshot below as an example). All of the previous issues described ie can't fix this by editing the tags as they are showing correctly in the tags. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted Thursday at 04:37 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:37 PM Could you show more info on that view (zoom a bit so the artist/album line is visible). But it does all seem like a misread of metadate during the initial scanning process. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotleyG Posted Thursday at 05:34 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:34 PM 2 hours ago, Rupert said: can't fix this by editing the tags as they are showing correctly in the tags Are you using a separate program for viewing and editing the metadata? If you could check this on a computer with something like mp3tag (available for free on PC and relatively inexpensive for MAC) you will be able to see what tags are where. It looks like you have a mix of mp3 and m4a files so having errors in both types leads me to think it is something common in your tagging to look at.
