Thank you (and Aaron) for making clear the reasons for not offering "the old way". It makes really sense for me, so i will wait patiently. By tagging not really working i mean, that the tags in my music-files and my pictures are not used in files. I have a lot of pictures, which i tagged in digikam. It would be great, if files or the mpc would recognize and use them. Once i had about 300 pictures on my wetab. Without using the tags which are set in digikam, one can not handle them.
