Denon HD songs and artists mixed up?

[Abbey Lane]

I've put songs onto my Denon HD2500.

However, my songs titles and artists don't match. (ie: I have the Stones singing old country.)

What is the problem? How do it fix the problem?

Sounds like a tagging issue. Did you create the DB in their music manager program or just copy and pasted your files to the HD2500?

 

[Abbey Lane]

Copy and paste.

 

[jokerswild]

Copy and paste.

Check the original files and see if they are tagged right.... you can use Dennons music manager or something like media monkey.... my bet is the tags.... but who knows.

According to their website you can either use thier media manager or copy and paste... I used their media manager even though it took more time to copy files over but, it also creates the DB for you too.

Is there a way to erase everything and start over including the database?

Yes, you can actuall just reformat the drive through the unit itself in it's utilities menu... I forget exactly how but the manual takes you step by step on how to do that....

I'm going to create a new "database" through Music Manger and see if it helps.

I created a new database and the songs and artists are in sync.

Sweet... good deal!

Glad you did that. As soon as I saw the OP, I recalled the time it happened to me and I reformatted the whole drive when simply creating a new database would have solved the
trick.

It's been suggested by other DJ's to use Media Monkey over Music Manger.

If you tag them properly & create a database in Music Manager, it will work perfectly. Works great for me.

Properly tagging every single file is the key to everything working properly.

I can create a playlist. I can save it.

When I click on transport playlist it opens a box asking me to choose a drive. I choose a drive and press save and nothing happens. The box stays there until I press cancel.

Am I sending the playlist to the 2500 the wrong way? How do you create and move a playlist to the 2500?

What is "Transport to Device" used for?

Transport to device is for Copying files to an external drive etc.

You don't use Transport for play lists.

If the play list has been manually copied to your internal drive you would use the IMPORT PLAY LIST function selecting the play list you just copied and it will get registered to the MM database.

It should then show up as a selectable play list on the Denon

This is usually cased by a mis-match of HD2500 firmware and Music Manager.

Your HD2500 firmware should be: v1400
Your Music Manager version should be v133 (dont use the disk version)

In most cases, you don’t have to re-load your music, just create a new database using the music manager.

If you are a new owner, please read this updated thread on how to get started with the HD2500 system.
