Getting your tags fixed doesn't mean you have to give up the organization of folders. They get along just fine simultaneously. In fact, even if one's music is perfectly tagged, it would be madness _not_ to keep it in some sensible directory structure such as artist/album/tracks. A key point is that BMF (Browse Music Folders) gives you exactly one way of looking at your library. A well-tagged library gives you many ways. It's like the difference between a telephone directory and a searchable database with separate fields for name, address, phone number, etc.
Also, if your folder and track names are truly well organized, then a good tagging program will allow you to use the folder and track names to write correct tags. mp3tag is one example of such a program, but many others will do it. If you do that, you'll never have the problem of having the wrong song titles. That is, unless the name of the file is also wrong. Why send the tagging program out to search for the track name or album name when you have it right there in the filename and folder name? -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90756 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
