No worries. That's one of the inherent hazards of trying to troubleshoot when you can only see a small fraction of what is really going on.

Look at the bright side: you found a bug! Too bad there isn't a bounty.

The bug http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17881 is marked as fixed presumably with LMS 7.7.2 . I just installed 7.7.2 on my Ubuntu box yesterday and the bug does not appear fixed. I am still getting song titles as file names when selecting songs from "Music Folder".
I am getting used to browsing using "My Library" instead of "Music Folder" and I know most people use that method but I found it easier the way I did it before. Is there anyway of reopening that bug?

Did you do a "clear and rescan everything" the damage already done by the bug won't go away otherwise a "scan for new and changed" is not enough to fix it

Thanks...I think the rescan fixed things

Edit: Scratch that. It is still happening. I was at first trying it on Squeezeplay and it didn't happen but I think it is an old version of Squeezeplay (Player Model: SqueezePlay
Firmware: 7.6.0-r9286M) so that may be why. At the Squeezebox Player the problem is happening again with music selected from "Music Folder" displaying as a file name.
I am going to start using "Music Library" instead as everyone else seems to do. I may have to do a bit of retagging but it will work.

Afraid it isn't working for my SB Classic,; still getting file names displayed when I choose tracks from "Music Folder". I was fooled by the fact that it works in Squeezeplay properly but I notice that it is Firmware: 7.6.0-r9286M so perhaps that is software before the bug occurred
I am using "Music Library" more often and looking under artist or album but frankly I found it easier with the Music Folder option

Yes you do, this is normal for the " music folder " as you browse the actual files and not using the tags , they are always presented by file name but does the song name change afterwards when seen in now playing or the web-UI or from the artist album view ?

Filenames displayed _where_? When you are browsing via Music Folder (which is normal), or when you are looking at the current playlist, which should show the info from your tags, formatted as per your LMS settings.

Sorry if this isn't clear.
When I select a track using "Music Folder" and it is playing it displays by file name on my SB Classic under "Now Playing" ; If I select a track from "Music Library" it displays under "Now Playing" by tag title. Also If I select a track in Squeezeplay it seems to work correctly like "Music Library"

If I go to Music Library and select song I get this display:

1. Blacksmith
Elemental (1985)
Loreena McKennitt

For example: I selected using "Music Folder" in Squeezeplay,I get

1. Blacksmith
Elemental (1985)
Loreena McKennitt

If I go to my SB Classic and select via "Music Folder" the same song displays:

1. Blacksmith.flac

Once it is displayed the latter way only a clear and rescan will correct the matter however I choose the track (Music Library or Music Folder)
I had thought this was the Bug that was voted on that I started some time ago . It appears that Bug has been marked as "Resolved"

Has this bug been resolved for other Linux users in LMS 7.7.2 ? Windows users? Or am I alone in this
