Thanks very much Myriam. I suspected the tag issue. I will file those app names. Tagging with Amarok from the file browser seems to do the job sufficiently. I rarely boot into windows any longer, now that I have Amarok, so I think I can avoid using iTunes in case it takes some initiative in messing with some tags again. I avoided DRM issues in iTunes. -- Regards, Freeman "Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question.
