I use my iPod Classic just for video documentaries (mostly archaeology) downloaded from my DVDs. How can I either get rid of the phrase "unknown release date" or fill out that release date.
iPod classic, Windows 7
Some of those fields you can't modify in iTunes. What you need is a "metadata tagger." I don't know of one for Windows, but if you search on something like "metadata tagger itunes windows," you may be able to download a free app that can do the trick.
I found Auto TV Tagger, but when I entered one of the .mp4 files and hit "process" I got a fail message saying "object reference not set to an instance of an object". No idea what that means.
Don't know what that means. Sounds like the app doesn't work properly. Any other choices?
Got MetaX, which works! Use the original m4v-file from the computer. When entering date in MetaX, do it like 2013-04-28. Then enter the file in iTunes. Then when transferring from iTunes to the iPod, it changes to April 28, 2013. Perfect. Great product for only $9.95.
Thanks for reporting back with the outcome. It may help someone else who has the same question...
