I just synched about 4 gig of music on my player. About half of the tags didnt carry over correctly-the tag from the last song in each playlist is assigned to every song in the playlist. Is this normal or did I do something wrong? I dragged and dropped the playlists into emplode from explorer.

What program did you use to set the tags in the first place? If you used ID3 tag extension you may have set every tag the same for a directory of Mp3s. I did the same thing when I was figuring out the interface. But if you know how to use it that is a very quick way to fix tags on many files at once.

I figured out what I did. I was using MpTagger to change all the dates on 700 songs. I havent figured out the interface completely yet, so i was editing them one by one. When I got to the last song in the list I was apparantly hitting something that copied that last tag to all the other tags in the list, overwriting the song titles. After another hours work i fixed them all.

Thanks,
Sean

I did that EXACT thing with MPTagger. The interface is a biatch to figure out, but once you do i found it to be the most powerful tagger around. The "guess from CDDB" feature saved me HOURS of tagging on my huge MP3 collection.

I also did this with Tag and rename. The interface is not bad at all, I just screwed up! There should be a undo history for these programs because the problem doesn't sound uncommon.
