I shall do a bit of homework on this one.... but i must say that I have no problem with iTunes as a rule, provided the id3Tags are set at 1.1 or 2.3, and there is NO artwork attatched. If you search direct connect for you own ip number you can see, your share as, I presume, other LW users see it and that helps find which 1d3 tags are faulty. I have most of mine correct now to a point, but some tags seem to have reverted to what they were when I downloaded them. If I "convert to mp3" these files using itunes, not forgetting to convert the id3 tag from iTunes annoying default of 2.2 to 2.3, they seem to identify themselves well enough.

The "comments" and "track numbers" are another matter which seem to require more attention!

I shall look into your suggestions and see what I make of them...
