I noticed that some albums become sluggish when skipping from track to track and some are not. So I thought this could be a tag reading issue.
I tried removing all the tags of my select songs using mp3tag and then update the tags again thru windows media player.
The player became snappy again.
Hi,
I had same lag issue with all my previous WP8 phones (HTC 8X, Lumia 920 and now Ativ S). On Ativ S it was even more annoying, because of class 4 SD Card. I decided to try to rewrite tags again, but for 11GB collection it wasn't an easy task. Tried different mp3 tagging applications, and ended up writing this little dirty "MP3 Tag Rewriter" tool. :smile:
This tool scans folder (incl. subfolders) for mp3 files and, for each file, removes mp3 tags, then writes tags again. It preserves only most important tags: Title, Album, Genre, Artists, Performers, Year, Track# and Cover Art (front cover only).
It's super easy to use - just point to a folder, and click Start.
Make sure you have BACKUP of your music.
After running this tool on my mp3 collection, there is no lag on wp8 music player anymore.
If this tool is helpfull for you, please let me know in comments.
@mjess_key Thank you for idea about mp3 tags.
