Yeah, sometimes songs that I’ve labeled in MP3 tagger don’t show up with an artist. It’s just <UNKNOWN> but that’s only occasionally. I can fix it too.

I have the Innioasis Y1 which is regarded as a starter DAP. The Fiio Snow Sky Echo Mini is the go to DAP for new people. The HiBy R1 is high rated as well.
