newt_101 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) I have a Sony 20GB MP3 Player (NW-HD1) that works with SonicStage (meaning all mp3 files are converted to attrac format and then transferred to my player).My only concern, is how to organize my music.All my songs on my computer are organized in folders according to either the Music Genre (ie. Pop, Rap, etc.) or Artist (ie. Madonna, Elvis, etc.).When I move them to the MP3 player they get changed into their own category, artist, etc.. according to what is programmed into the song's info. They get really specific and the same artists are found in different categories. I don't want this. I want my songs to stay in the folders I PUT THEM INTO.How do I do this?I hope I'm making sense.Thanks,Marco Edited May 14, 2006 by newt_101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pata2001 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Looks like you want folder-based browsing instead of ID3 based browsing. You cannot do that with the HD1 since Sonicstage controls how the music is stored. iPods are worse, since iTunes will change all the filenames into garbage and put tracks in random folders. Get an iAudio X5 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would save me a lot of time and stress...For example.Is there a program in which I can highlight 20 songs from Madonna on my hard drive, and change the Genre for it to 'Pop', instead of doing it one-by-one?Thanks,Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beethovenian Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 SonicStage actually allows you to change what you want. Just select the tracks you want to edit, right click and select properties, and there you can write as you like. But there are better programs to do this. My recommendation is Tag & Rename, which has a 30-day trial period. It's very easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
