[QUOTE="CoolHammer, post: 7748, member: 10430"] Hello Nazimm, It has more than just names of a songs i'm afraid. Just got thru of over 1500 songs with ID3-Tagit software took hours to clean it up :) So you need following to have nice layout on MP: 1. ID3 tags of songs - Album - Artist - Track - Year (not necessary but nice to have tho) These tags will be used by MP for different views. After you have cleaned up your music folder you should import information to DB with configue app. There are at least 2 versions of ID3 tags. MP uses both. Mine rule of thumb was to get version 1 ok first and then copied that info on ver 2 also. 2. Folder layout (not necessary for MP but easier to handle IMHO) Music (folder) Artist (folder) Album (folder) Song (file) ... 3. File names AA - BB - CC - DD.mp3 AA = Artist BB = Album CC = Track DD = Title I have used ID3-Tagit to rename songs after ID3 tags are in place and correct. Again not necessary step but it is easier to handle files later. And it is a snap after those ID3 tags are ok. Good luck, and let us know how you are things going ... CoolHammer [/QUOTE]
