thanks again, have transferred files of all different sorts, AAC and MP3, they are all not protected, using correct tags and now with embedded album art. BUT with some albums the 818 files it correctly under album and artist and the others it shows everything as unknown except the file name. I have no idea what is going on and i'm going to ring sony when i get back but if someone can help me solve my problem thatd be great. Everything is drag and dropped into music on the walkman and itunes shows tags are intact. I don't know whats going on.

awesome thanks for the advice on the album art. I will see if it solves my id tag woes though as that is my major problem. Could it be that my 818 simply isn't creating the library properly each time as sometimes some artists get shown as the proper artist and sometimes they don't. have tried formatting, deleting everything, converting mp3s to aac, but none of it seems to help. also btw where in tune instructor can i change the language to english, have searched preferences etc, but can't find it. thanks

Hey, I have been trying to sort this problem out for a while now, i love my new a818 but as opposed to my old ipod where everything "just works" this thing is a nightmare. First it wouldn't display album art so i then figured out after browsing these forums that i needed to download some kind of mp3 tag editor. Now the problem is : I have a mac so i transfer my songs through drag and drop or through a program called synctunes, that syncs my itunes with my walkman. Basically though the walkman picks and chooses which songs it wants to read the tags from. As with each different change of music some albums/artists will be recognised and the others it just relegates to unknown artist, unknown album, unknown genre and unknown year. SO i have 7.3gb of music with only like 20 albums showing. I have at least 500 songs or something in my unknown folder. Its annoying! I know its not sync tunes as basically all synctunes does is drag and drop it for me. Plus normal drag and drop doesn't work properly either... Please can anyone help me, otherwise i'm going to have to call support or something. cheers Shane
