AFAICR you are correct that freevo gets the ids from the ID3 tags of the tracks, not sure which track most likely the first. It could also use the directory structure for the artist and album name. You can test this with the kaa utility mminfo, should be installed with kaa.metadata. mminfo '/path/to/Weezer - (Blue Album).../track-1.mp3' Duncan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
