I did play around with it first, seemed to work OK, so then I dove in. It didn't take long because you can sort by the new columns. So you can get all the ID3v1 tags grouped together, and you can get all the "tags in file" ID3v1 and ID3v2 grouped together.
There's one critical step that was omitted: in Tools - Options - Tags - Mpeg - you have to set Remove ID3v1. Then what you do is: - all files with ID3v2 current tags that have ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags in the file - highlight them all and select File - Remove Tag. This removes all the ID3v1 tags. - all files with ID3v1 current tags: select them all and press the Save icon. This writes ID3v2 tags and removes the ID3v1 tags in one step. This assumes they don't already have ID3v2 tags in the Tags In File column, in which case you'd do the first step as well. Took 5 minutes for 1150 files. SlimServer now orders the files as I would expect. Working perfectly. Thanks again. Geoff B wrote: > On 11/2/05, Mark Lanctot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>Wow! >> >>This should help a lot.
