Get Mp3tag if you don't already have it. Learn to use Tag Sources. Learn to create actions and action groups, which you'll use them a lot. Also learn how to use filtering. You may want to first reorganize your library if it's not already in an ARTIST/ALBUM/TRACK directory structure. This makes is simple to tag an album using Mp3tag, or to tag all of an artist's albums. For example, say you want to add an ARTISTSORT tag to all of Johnny Cash's albums. You can easily load all of the tracks from the artist's albums. Placing all of your compilation albums in one folder can be handy. There can are some peculiarities with compilation tagging, so being able to load all of the compilations and retag them all at once is convenient. So something like: Complations/ALBUM/TRACK Mp3tag itself can be used to move files around and reorganize your library. You do this by rewriting the _FILENAME variable. You'll need some minimal amount of (correct) tagging to do this - artist and album names should do it. Some people load their entire library into Mp3tag and then use Mp3tag's filtering capabilities. I don't find this to be that useful, and it can take minutes to load a large library. Then again, I've never had to tag an entire library. -- JJZolx » » Download 'Squeezebox Server 7.5.6 r35834' (http://downloads.slimdevices.com/SqueezeboxServer_v7.5.6_unreleased/), the last nightly build of SBS 7.5. » ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91167
