Spent all morning taking paint off the hard bit and turning this:

then decided it really was rubbish render and did this:

Then had to go get supplies:

Do you have the same problem that I do with MP3 s and compilation albums? WMP and the like handle them OK and they display correctly, but when you copy them to a portable device, Creative Vision M in my case, in the Artist view you end up with loads of entries all with 1 track in. How flippin annoying ?
This is all to do with ID3 tags and this is how I update them to overcome the “problem”.
In short, as long as your tags are currently all in order, this will automatically change the <title> ID3 tag to <track no><artist><title> and the <artist> tag to the same as the <album>. This will have the side effect of making any Artist display on the portable unit not displaying correctly, but this is a V small price to pay in my eyes, for grouping the tracks on the device (the title display will give you the artist however). Your choice.
The “automatically” bit here is the breakthrough, I have tried lots of software that updates tags, but this is the first that allows the update of tags based on a pattern of other tags, I am sure there are others, but I could not find them.
You might want to copy the tracks that you want to tag to a temp area to play with the software first before letting it loose on your nicely tagged tracks, just to get familiar.
Enjoy.
