<title>Zortam Frequently ask questions (FAQ)</title>
<description>
 How can I enter and play karaoke or midi files with Zortam?

There is an option in menu Add Karaoke File. You can add .kar or .mid file directly to ID3v2 tag. After adding kar file to the tag it will appear in Karaoke folder. You can select .kar files to play from karaoke folder and play it with your favorite karaoke player. So you can save karaoke files within your Mp3 file and play either Mp3 or Karaoke file.

Updating Artwork and Lyrics / iTunes / iPod nano sometimes doesn't work I can update lyrics and artwork on the zortam listing, and each time I get back to a specific song, inside Zortam, everything seems okay. The problem is when I go back to Itunes; over there, songs that have artwork and lyrics, dont get the lyrics recognized; only songs that have only lyrics do. When I go to the ipod (nano), some songs that have artwork, do not show; yet the lyrics of those that show correctly on itunes appear on the ipod screen. If I open a song, with artwork but without lyrics, in Itunes, and paste the lyrics, I am able to see both artwork and lyrics on the ipod.

This problem has been fixed with updated version of Zortam Mp3 Media Studio 5.95. You can download updated version from our web site.

All my MP3 files have Album Cover (I can see it on Itunes and Ipod 5G) but I do not see any of them in the dedicated Zortam window (ID3V2 tags) ? I can obviously add a new picture but I do not want to redo that for 3500 songs (even if Zortam is really powerful) The rest of the tags are ok ? do you have any idea of what might be the problem ?

We have resolved this problem with iTunes in version 5.95.
iTunes by default saves Album art in ID3 picture tag called Others. In Zortam Mp3 Media Studio go to ID3V2 tags ans select [All Pictures]-[Select Photo], and choose from combobox [Others] and you will be able to see album arts saved via iTunes.

ID3 standard has values for picture tags:
0 - Others
3 - Cover Album Art
4 - Back Cover
etc.

For some reason iTunes saves album art to "Others" picture tag.
So all pictures from iTunes are visible in Zortam Mp3 Media Studio at "Others" Picture tag in ID3V2 view.
Zortam Mp3 Media Studio saves picture to "Front Cover"(3) picture tag and also to "Others"(0) picture tag, so Album arts are visible on iPod and any other portable Mp3 player.
We recomend to use Zortam for batch entering picture arts and lyric to ID3 tags.
All arts and lyric entered by Zortam are visible in iTunes and iPod and any other portable Mp3 player.
If you save arts with iTunes it will be visible in Zortam as "Others" picture tag.

What is difference between Zortam Media Studio FREE and Zortam Mp3 Media Studio PRO?

Zortam Media Studio FREE has all features like Zortam Media Studio PRO for 3 days.
After 3 days you will need to purchase Zortam Media Studio PRO version in order to continue using PRO features (normalization, etc).

We did it this way, because we wanted for our user to be able to see what we offer in PRO version before giving money for it.

Once you enter license key for Zortam Mp3 Media Studio PRO you don't need to download program again. All Zortam Mp3 Media Studio PRO options will be available for you!

Of course Zortam Media Studio FREE doesn't have any limitations and you can continue to use it as a freware program.

For list of all FREE/PRO features go to: Zortam Mp3 Media Studio.

Sometimes there are files I can play but cannot change anything (even the tags). Those cannot be changed by another tag editor neither. I had to resample them with some prog. ?

The best thing to do to resolve this problem is to delete the tag entirely and enter information again. Sometimes tags are just corrupted. So you should use the option [Options]->[Clear All ID3 Tags]

Do I need to upgrade from Zortam Mp3 Media Studio 4.00 to Zortam Mp3 Media Studio Pro 5.00?

I would like to clear all comments or replace Album name for some of my Mp3's. How can I do that?

Select files you want to change, click on "Change" icon or in main menu select "Change/Clear/Replace Any Tag" , and check "ID3 - All" checkbox, and check chekboxes of tags which you want to change.
For example if you want to clear all comment tags check comment chekbox and leave it empty. That will set all comment tags in selected Mp3's to an empty string.
When you want to replace some other ID3 tags in your Mp3 the procedure is the same, check the specific checkbox and enter into edit field data you need.

I would like to drag and drop Mp3 files from my Mp3 list to exsisting Playlist
How can I do that?

Just select files you want, press the mouse button and take the the files to the playlist you want.
If playlist doesn't exsist it will be created by the name of artist. If artist exsist files will be added to the exsisting artist playlist.

I would like to change genre for example to "My Rock", or I want to change some other tag information from selected Mp3's.
How can I do that?

Select files you want to change, click on "Change" icon or in main menu select "Change/Clear/Replace Any Tag" , and check "ID3v2" checkbox, check "Genre" chekbox and enter in genre field new genre or select from genre list whatever genre you want.

How come that ID3v1 tags have limited space for song name, artist name etc. and I can't add my genre?

ID3v1 tags has limitation to only 255 available genres. Artist, Title and Comment tags length are limited to 29/30 chars. ID3v2 tags don't have any limitations for length of tag, so use insted of ID3v1 tags ID3v2 tags.

What does maen green track on my Mp3 file?

It does mean that file contains lyrics or some pictures inside of your Mp3 file in ID3v2 tag.

Why I can not see picture in my Mp3 tag although some other program are showing that picture?

First it depends which program are you using.
Zortam Mp3 Media Studio uses for saving tags and pictures officially ID3v2.3 standard defined at http://www.id3.org for saving pictures implemented through Id3Lib library(Id3Lib Library). So every picture that is saved from Zortam Mp3 Media Studio should be visible without any problems, because Zortam Mp3 Media Studio supports officially ID3v2.3 standard defined at http://www.id3.org

Why Mp3 Media Studio help doesn't work?

To see programs help file you need HTML help installed (it comes with MS Internet Explorer 4.01, Win98 and higher) or you may download the latest version here: Html Help (773 Kb). If you use Win2000 or WinXP Html help is already installed on your system.

Are the pictures that have been added to the ID3v2 tag strictly a feature only useable within MP3 Media Studio?

Mp3 Media Studio uses ID3 standard which is defined at http://www.id3.org.
So every program that uses ID3 standard can see the pictures entered with Mp3 Media Studio.

When I move the mp3 files to a different folder, the database entries now point to a file that does not exist. I can't delete those faulty entries from the database, that's not good. I think there should be a way to be able to delete entrys from the database, even if they point to a file that does not exist.

There is a way to refresh mp3 lib database. Just go to menu options "Search Media" and check "Overwrite library file" checkbox. That will rescan your media drives and create a brand new mp3 lib database.
You can also check checkbox "Check if files exists when program starts" in "Program Options" general tab. If this options is checked it will remove all none existing files from the library.

When I try to play files listed in my Mp3 Media Studio library they do not play.I highlight the track/song and double click and nothing happens. I have windows xp.with winamp and music jukebox.any ideas?

Go to Menu - Options and press General Tab. There is an option called Mp3 Player Path. You just need to enter there a path of your favorite mp3 player. Mp3 Media Studio supports all Mp3 players who can play M3u playlist.

How to refresh folder tree in case if new folder is created outside of Mp3 Media Studio?

There is a small green icon on the folder tree that does refreshing of folder tree.

What operating systems does Mp3 Media Studio support?

Windows 9x
Windows Me
Windows NT 4.0
Windows XP
Windows 2000
Windows 2003

How to select files from the Mp3 list?

To select file using keyboard use Ins from the keyboard.
