Hi,
 
Anyone know how to export/render your songs in Sonar to MP3s such that the artist and song titles show up on your bluetooth screens in your cars? Sometimes I see maybe the song title or the artist but never all the info I thought I included when rendering from Sonar. FYI I use the built-in "export" which leads me to an ID3 Info page (lame 3.99) where I enter the song title and artist but they just don't show up in my car stereo.
 
Thanx Frederick
 

The issue is likely what fields the car media player is programmed to display and in what order.  Most automotive displays are set up to display two 16 character fields.  That is because they are following the RDS standard established for radio.  More information about RDS is available here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Data_System

You may have to encode the MP3 file with metadata (title, album, etc.) when creating it in order for your car audio to read it.  I don't use Cakewalk/SONAR to create MP3's so I don''t know if it does that.  I think you can do it in Windows Media Player or Pyro.

Mp3Tag is what you need for tagging. Free and easy to use.

Yes, or simply with windows explorer try to look at the properties of the particular file and see if the fields with name, artist etc. are populated.
 
I don't remember very weill but probably there are ID3 v1 and ID3 v2 tags ... and probably with some software not both tag types are written into the file.
 
Otherwise, for sure, Mp3Tag (or similar software) will do the job.
Bye,

I use Win Explorer or Sound Forge to enter the data.

Both my cars and my getto blaster show the data no problem, I use Gold Wave to convert from Wave to MP3. But not sure the encoder matters. 

Depending on your player, it may just use the folder name and the file name, for example:
 
Folder: Dave's Album
Filename: My New Song.mp3
 

I use media monkey.

Mp3tag IS a great program that's available for free.  That's what I use for my MP3s.  https://www.mp3tag.de/en/
