Just b/c Apple and Microsoft don’t include a feature on their devices doesn’t necessarily mean that the majority of end users don’t want that feature.  These companies want to get people away from understanding the directory structure and other aspects of how computers work, because that positions these companies to sell music through their online services to consumers who are too confused to use torrents etc.

 

Edit: Think about it:  All MP3’s that people rip, and many MP3’s that people download through file sharing apps aren’t tagged.  By forcing end users to use only tag based navigation, a hassle is created for people who obtain MP3’s via these methods.  By forcing end users to use only tag based navigation, Apple and MS can use the fact that MP3’s sold through their services are tagged as leverage to push consumers to buy MP3’s through their services, or else deal with the hassle of tagging your entire MP3 collection.

 

Most non tech-savy people who just barely can handle file sharing applications will choke on batch tag editing software, if they can even figure out that this is what they need in order to get their untagged library in order.

I love you.

Microshaft Vindoze Media just removed my roll-your-own mp3s and “other” mp3s.

I’m talking about all the mp3s that I made from tapes and vinly records.

So, my sentiment is exact! How the f__k does apple/microshaft know if my mp3 is ligit or not

I mean what if I just made recordings of my son singing, would that be considered non-ligit just because I didn’t buy it from stinking itunes.

Freezebyte, download the batch MP3 tag editor “MP3Tag” here:

 Open up your library in MP3tag, select your entire library, then click on the icon on the top bar which looks like a white square with a yellow arrow on top of it pointing to a red dot.  That’s the “Filename to Tag” button.  You can copy all of your files’ names to any of their tags using one click.  This should help!

 

I wholeheartedly agree that we shouldn’t have to do this.  More importantly, even if we copy all of our file’s names to their tags, we still lose our file/folder organization when using the Fuze.  But at least by doing this you can have some sort of organization.

Vundibar! Vundibar!

It verks! It verks!

I just highlighted all files clicked on the button you mentioned and all files retagged.

Of course, I copied files to a temp folder first.
