Deinstitutionalized player w/ lost track numbers

So, just to make sure, for each of your albums, you imported the album into MP3Tag and then edited the track no. ID3 tag for each song so that the track nos. now order the album’s songs correctly, and then you saved your edits?  And I assume that you did all of this on your PC/thumbdrive and that your PC/thumbdrive now has a copy of all the music on your player, the only difference being that the PC/thumbdrive’s copy of your music has edited ID3 tags?  

If that’s the case, you would want to delete all the music on your player and then copy the music that you edited, on your PC/thumbdrive, to your player.  When you then detach the player from your PC, your player will take some time creating its database from the ID3 tags, and then you should be set to go for a music-filled holiday!

Do me a favor first, though:  assuming that you have some extra space on your PC or have an extra storage media around, before you delete the music off your player, put a copy of it on your PC or extra storage media, just in case you need to go back to it.  Better safe than sorry.

Hope this all works smoothly–keep us advised!    :)   And a very happy holiday to you!
