Curious, if you copy everything and lets say you add a few albums after you copied everything but it has been a little while since you added those albums. How do you sync your player again without re-copying everything? Or another example you have corrected tags on older files that already exist on the player. I just do not see how drag and drop ability really saves time and effort. As for browsing by tags, see I can not look ahead as to the ONE best way to structure and find my music. ARTIST/ALBUM -- Good for finding music by and artist Genre/Artist/Album -- I like this one for finding music that I am in the mood for. Genre/Album -- Good for compliations Note: I have my entire collection on my ipod too, however I use playlists as I describe to get to music easily. Mind you I do NOT use iTunes and understand people avoiding that program. There are many better music manager/players that work just fine with the ipod or many other media players. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49709 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
