Thanks, I was looking on a touch at first, and then went to LMS to look further. When you say album art is attached to the folder, I assume you mean the folder.jpg that gets created. I really don't like this, as when I make a mixed tape I can lose the art, when I put certain songs on an MP3 player I lose it. I prefer that wherever it goes, the mp3 file has all its information self contained. Mnyb wrote: > Also do a complete rescan of everything not only a new and changed This actually fixed my problem!

I have a folder full of orphaned tracks, which I may have downloaded to use in home videos, or parties, or any reason really... I was going through "sorting them out" as they all show with no cover art which looks a little ugly, and some were mistagged. I just add the artwork, correct the data, and save it. This also precludes use of folder.jpg as I have one folder with a couple of hundred of these files.

I really should have tried that before posting!! it's like the old "have you tried turning it off and on again?" rule. I will defo look into the mp3tag program as well, although like R-One, I tend to be doing just the odd files here and there.
