How Do I Stop Ss From Changing My File Names?

[Hoser]

I just got SS 3.0 and I tried importing my music over to the library. One annoying thing is that it doesn't copy the list exactly as I have it in my music folder. I have the names of my songs edited the way I like it and it is obviously somehow getting a different name from inside the file somewhere (I assume that track, album, author, etc is coded into the file somehow).

How can I stop SS from doing this and make it display the song title as I have it in my music folder?

Another thing that I noticed is that when I copy a song over to my MD, it puts all the songs from the same artist into one folder. I just want it to be in one single list. How do I do this? thanks

I suppose that I could go through each song individually and go into the properties and change it there. But with 500 songs that sounds like one heck of a lot of work.

Please tell me that there's an easier way to do this

Well the information about song title/artist is stored in the file by using id3 tags. AFAIK, there is no way to tell SS to check the file name.

My advice would be to organize the id3 tags properly how you want them, you will only have to do it once, since it will be stored and read by all future programs.
