ITunes and iPhone Explicit Tags

So I have been annoyed with this problem for quite some time. I get all my music from CDs, but like seeing that Explicit tag. I use a tag editor to manually put the "Explicit" tag and logo on the explicit songs. In iTunes it works perfectly and everything is displayed as if it were bought from the iTunes store. But on my iPhone, those same songs do not show the little "E" next to them, when the few songs that I did get from iTunes which are Explicit do. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi! I was looking through Google, and came across this. I too had this problem. I started fiddling around with some settings, but that didn't work. I re-synced it, but that didn't work. Then, I deleted all of the songs off my iPod (only the affected songs, not the whole library) and re-synced my iPod. Then, to my surprise, it worked! The "explicit" sign showed up next to all the songs. Not sure if this will work for you, but it worked for me. Reply to me if this works! Hope I helped,

Amaru.

Hey! Thanks, I will have to try this out when I can get some free time. I tried searching for a long while to find the answer but it's so specific and hard to search. I really appreciate your help!

I use either Metax. Just tell it which songs to do, and you can do multiple songs at once. If you keep the location the same and set it to overwrite, it will replace the song and not change a thing. The only thing after that is to play the song to have it update and show the tag.

Yeah, I still can't get it to work. I accidentally said that other post helped, but meant to like it instead, I can't switch it back. I have tried so many times, doing everything. It seems like there is someway it only shows if it was bought from iTunes. I have iTunes match, and that doesn't help either, I thought it would download the tags, but instead it wiped all the tags already in my iTunes I set. Appearently, any user added tags don't get saved the same way iTunes store bought songs do?

Is there anyway to look into this, or any way to work around? I'm asking this to anyone reading who may be smarter. But I have tried everything myself, and it's weird why it won't display the tags on the iPhone.
