Ahh man, I have to change EVERY SINGLE song genre with that program individually? That really ■■■■■. Is there anywa I can change a bunch of files to a certain genre at once, i’ve got thousands of MP3’s and doing it individually just wont’ work for me
NvM, I just figured it out. Gonna try it out and see what happens now
Yes, you can changes the ‘genre’ in MP3Tag ‘en masse’. Just open all the different songs or folders, highlight them all (using the Shift key & your mouse), change the genre and click the SAVE icon.
Voila! as they say. Lather, rinse & repeat. 
And one more, you guys should really get a kick out of this:

There is another video on that site located @ the top of the “most popular videos,” about a fictional device supposedly created by Sony which the mods keep deleting my links to, check that one out too for a REAL laugh

My post wasn’t referring to the Fuze, the firmware is pretty good on that, and they keep on updating it. My problem is with the View, which is full of show-stopping bugs, and they ignore every single post in there.
Ung, well until if and WHEN Sandisks decided to allow a firmware to let use use just plain folders and filenames *please for the Love of GOD this renaming sh1t ■■■■■* I’ll use this tag editing thing. Don’t like it, but its something
Damnit, this ■■■■■. I have a bunch of files that don’t have info for track or album so now i’ve still got a huge mess of songs all over after I go through Genre. Damnit Sandisk, let use use file names and folders please for the love of God!
Freezebyte, download the batch MP3 tag editor “MP3Tag” here:
http://www.mp3tag.de/download.html
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.

Ah, thanks so much. That will help make this bearable for the time being. Thanks again

They can be annoying, but with MP3tag I was able to tag 100,000 songs in about 10 hours. I had to use media monkey when I switched to ogg and thatw as a pain.
Mp3Tag is a blessing. That program combined with the online(or locally installed) freedb makes tagging really easy. freedb is a huge tag database. Lets assume you have your music folders organized by album. Mark the files associated with one album and freedb tries to find the album that fits the playtime of your selected files best. If this is a match you can apply the registered tags to the selected files. Its really easy.
Oh and btw, i would still welcome folder/filename based browsing a lot. The argument that its not a must have feature because the iPod does not have it is a flawed one. It should make it a more interesting feature for a competitor to find a niche, if there is reasonable demand for it among the potential user base. I thought of it as a must have before i found a decent tagging software with access to freedb data. Now i consider it just as ‘very nice to have’.

People are confusing “must have” with “very desirable”. If it was really a must-have, you wouldn’t have bought something that didn’t support it, obviously, because its something you must have.
The fact that the best-selling players don’t support folder browsing supports an argument that tag browsing isn’t a barrier to market success. It will be another feature that the iPod doesn’t support (along with all the other features that the iPod lacks). The extent to which that translates to actual sales is anyone’s guess, but we all bought a player without it, and the 170-odd million iPod owners did, too.
Had I known about the not being able to folder browsing/sorting, I woulda purchase something else. I guess I could take it back still and look for a nice iRiver online…

I’d laugh if it didn’t have file browsing haha.
Maybe this will make using mp3tag a little easier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcXsOstxaZg
Happy?
I know how to do that, I just wanna be able to play song via folders, plain and simple. Having to sort ■■■■ via artist, album, name, genre, ect…ect… is too cumbersome

I dont remember if it has been mentioned or not but Sansa is working on this ability, I dont know that it will happen but they have committed to try and get folder nav for the folks who want it.
