I may do that, thanks.

Huh; never heard of that.  Do those programs clean up tags?

That was my first impression, but if you look it seems to be saying
it's having trouble reading the tags, not the music files.  It says
things like "Unable to read at least 16 bytes from file (only read 8)" 
I think that's a reference to the tag, but I could be wrong.

Good call, and I know you suggested that before.  My only problem with
that is, it means I have to re-scan again, and if it works I'll haver
to go back and rescan all my files again.  If it doesn't, I could go
back and rescan part or all in 7.5?  Seems like it might yield useful
information quickly, but in the long run I'm still kinda screwed if
it's not working right, unless it yields a way to fix the problem.  I
thought that either way it would simply scan overnight so it was no
skin off my butt.  But noooo ....

Will do; thanks.
