Hi all,

Recently purchased a portable media center, and now it's time for me to move
my media library into Media Player 10. Been using Winamp in the past. I
would like to cleanup the tags in my files and download artwork for the
albums I have ripped.

My music folder is organized by genre, with the exception of the albums that
I have ripped and stored by artist and album.

Is there a easy way in WMP or with another program to update the tags? I've
tried out a few MP3 tag programs, but WMP does not see my changes. Maybe
there is a recommended program for updating WMP's tags out there that someone
can suggest.

I have also tried the WMP Advanced Tag Editor. This seems to work fairly
well, but requires a lot of hand work. My ripped albums are named "Track# -
Title.mp3" and in order to perform a sucessful search, I have to manually
remove the track number from the search field.

Appreciate anyone's advice on the situation. Thanks.
