With the Vortexbox, can't you simply browse to the folder in Windows Explorer, right-click and select Mp3tag from the Explorer context menu? (You have to install the Explorer extension during the Mp3tag setup. If you did not, just run the installer again.) With Mp3tag, particularly if your library is large, you only rarely want to load the entire music folder. Mostly, you'll be working one album at a time. Using Explorer to launch Mp3tag via the context menu tends to be the fastest way to work with multiple albums. No need to shut down Mp3tag each time. Just keep an Explorer window open and work your way through. If you organize your library in an artist/album/track manner, then you can also easily load all of a single artist's albums. > After you have modified the tags you will have to "clear library and > rescan everything" from the settings screen in Squeezebox (the link to > the settings screen is an icon on the lower left corner of the > Squeezebox screen).

In most cases, running a 'new & changed' scan will pick up changes if you allow Mp3tag to change the timestamp on files (this is the default setting). This is particularly true with LMS 7.8.3, which has fixed some new & changed scanning issues. Can Vortexbox run 7.8.3? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101062 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
