Date: Thu, 03 Apr 2003 17:18:15 -0600 I do NOT use id3 tags, so my filenames must be correct. I find id3 tags are often incorrect when obtaining music outside of my control, so I have sworn them off. Here is the format I use for music: Artist - songname.mp3 Turntablerocker - No Melody.mp3 Here is the format I use for audio books (since they need to be in the right order): Author - Bookname - x of n.mp3 Carl Sagan - Contact - 1 of 8.mp3 Hope this feedback helps, Chris H.
