Interesting. Thanks for that. Unfortunately my iTunes seems to be even more egotistical and self-centred than yours. Maybe I've been a bad iTunes parent and raised it badly.
Specifically regarding your suggestions above, when I re-add the entire music folder it just will not change tags on existing files. I suspect that re-adding the music folder will be the best way to add entirely new music but it just doesn't seem to work for me as a way of updating existing tags. Your second right-click..."Get Info" suggestion did do the trick for me but I had to go counter to your advice. I needed to hit OK on all the warnings and then it did update the tags. If I hit cancel then it did nothing. - Julian -- JulianL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JulianL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1088 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16240 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
