Can be the wav to flac thing, it depends wav files does not have tags in general, soo I see two possible pitfalls. 1 . Many of the flac files generated does not have tags at all Squeezeboxserver uses it " guess tag function" ( configurable in the settings ) this uses file and folder names and tries to fake it from there, works better than nothing but have limits. 2. The software you used to convert used file names in a similar manner to generate tags and it did not worked 100% on all files. Resulting that you are slowly doing what probably is necessary after such conversion, to manually look at each album in mp3tag and adjust tags when necessary, it does not normally take hours per album the most blatant errors are obvius in a minute or two. WMP can for example give you the impression that i has tags in wav files, but it is keeping a propriotary dB with info that it gathered when it ripped to wav, thats never written to the files themselfes. i have no problems with my own rips a few of my 30500 files shoves some oddities often * cough* the person uploading have botched it or also spammed a normal album with cue and m3u files that i have to remove . -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
