Thank you for emphasizing your point, but I'm not about to go through and edit 350-400 tags one by one, even if it's with an editing program. I'd still have to input all the names myself, seeing as nearly all of them are by different artists.

Unless you happened to have the files and directories named in some kind of predictable pattern, in which case you could use one of those programs which batch-tags the MP3s based on the file/folder names. I don't have any links to such a program on hand, but I'm sure someone could jump in here and supply us with one. It might save you a lot of time.

And I don't think it would be hard to edit your own playlists on the empeg it'self if the ability was there.

I dunno, have you ever gone through something like that without a keyboard and a GUI? I dread simply naming my EQ presets from the remote, and those only have about eight characters.

I don't remember whether you actually have an Empeg yet or not, do you? If not, wait until you've actually got one and then decide whether or not you want playlist editing on-the-fly. It's one of those things where it looks desirable on paper, but turns out to be not necessary.
