MP3 Player index??

External Since: Mar 16, 2004 Posts: 16

I know this is a bit off topic for this group, so if you can direct me to a
better group to post this question, please do so.

I got a nice 10 gig MP3 player from Tiger Direct. It holds about a ton of
music, but I am having problems managing all the files. MP3s ripped from
factory CDs index OK, but those I got from Napster and Kazaa are all screwed up
in the menue system.

For example, I have a Temptations folder with about 3 dozen of their oldies,
but when I search for them on my player, I will find them all over the place.
Some as Artist "Temptations" some in various albums by the Temptations, some
in various genres or tracks.

Please help! How can I get all of an artist's files to sort by the artist
name, or by albums? I have almost 2000 tracks so searching by track is tedious
at best.

the MP3 files must be tagged somehow with Artist, album and Genre data; is
there any way to edit this. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

You need a tag editor, I use this one:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.4musics.com/All-in-one/Mp3Tag-Studio.htm" target="_blank">http://www.4musics.com/All-in-one/Mp3Tag-Studio.htm</a>
there are many others.....

managing mp3s etc. etc.
