I too occasionally have a tidy up tags session and lately have been
adding lyrics to tracks

using Foobar, but this always affects the New Music order.

JJ has now explained how the New Music function orders albums (and how
he prevents minor changes disrupting this order) but I (and I suspect
the rest of us) still have pretty shambolic New Music displays. Which is
a shame because Michael Herger has just speeded up the New Music display
function.

I have found a free utility -
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/bulk_file_changer.html - that will "Modify
their created/modified/accessed time".

If I bulk change the modified time to created time and then do a clear &
rescan, then New Music should return to being a date ordered list of New
Music.

Then if JJ would be generous and share his MP3Tag Vb script, future
changes will keep the New Music album order integrity.
