My experience is a little different to this. I don't like to use tags so on my mp3 player I usually choose folder or directory view. I have a Philips GoVibe, an iRiver and a Samsung Yepp. They all give me the option to use the file names and not use the tags.

However, if folks want to do some mp3 tag editing they may find this page helpful:

I have used the Mp3tag program and found it easy to use.

By the way I download the wma files from the BBC listen again function (I live outside of the UK) and the files already come with tags (Title and Artist).

Love, David
