Don't see media titles in your playlist of your media player. Chances are the title meta-data isn't set for those files. This blog post is a recipe to fix this situation, assuming you're a developer :)
Today, I tried to extract some of the media content from my old CDs so that I can play them in my computer that is devoid of CD drive. Who uses a CD drive these days ;-/
When I tried adding them to my media-player, I found that I don't see the names of the songs in my playlist. This kind of disappointed me.
Here is what I did to fix this situation.
Step 1: Install taglib in your OS.
Step 2: Install the taglib-ruby gem [Note: I've Ruby installed in my system.]
Step 3: Save the script modify_title_metadata_tag.rb to my directory containing the said media files.
Step 4: Run the script from terminal like below:
$ ruby modify_title_metadata_tag.rb
For quick peek, the above mentioned Ruby Script is below.
Hope it helps you as well. Cheers!
