Album and Song text not transferring to iPhone X

Postby eiger3970 » 07 Feb 2024 03:59

Hello, my Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia Cinnamon Music folder has a folder named: Album.
This album has 19 songs with text named: 01. songName - Artist Name.ogg.
The music plays, but with text Unknown Album and 1. Track 1.

I have transferred 12 other Albums and songs over to the iPhone's VLC app. Works fine except for songs' images https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=164008.

Any suggestions please?

Maybe I should rephrase the question?

Perhaps I should upload Desktop music files to a cloud, then try the VLC Download option?
VLC Version 3.4.9 (550) -> Network -> Downloads -> http://myserver.com/file.mkv -> Download.

How exactly do I use this VLC feature on the phone please?

How do you transfer your files to your iPhone at the moment? With WiFi Sharing or by downloading them from a NAS on your local network that you are browsing with VLC?

Well, Dad is in a music group, so I ripped (Asunder is best by far) his CD files onto the computer.
The data text naming songs is fine on Linux Mint, but messes up on VLC's presentation.
He's a tech learner, so the digital option should enable him to enjoy the songs with ease, if I can make a clean UX.

Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia Cinnamon 64-bit -> plug in USB cable between iPhone X iOS 16.7.7 -> desktop opens an iPhone window with various apps -> select VLC app -> drag desktop files into empty window.

RaspberryPi5 doesn't open this window to drag and drop the files, so looking for a new way.

Solved via Wi-Fi network and unlocked phone.

Additionally, text entered on VLC 3.0.20 Vetinari (Intel 64bit) on a MacOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6 doesn't transfer saved text to phone.
