Greetings Chris and all. Do you have to be focused on a song in the play
list editor or in the main Winamp window to use the ID3 Editor feature?
There must be some way that you gain focus, but I guess I'm wondering
exactly how that's done, if through the play list or the main window when a
file is open or playing.
Many thanks,
Wayne

Hi Mac
Press alt, plus the number 3 while Winamp is open and the editor will open up. You have ID3v1, which is a more simple tag, and ID3v2 which gives more information. For example, you're limited to the number of letters for a song title with ID3v1, where as ID3v2 gives you a whole lot more room for longer song titles, artist info and even comments and notes can be entered.
You don't have to use these, but it sure helps a lot.

As a sidebar issue, how does one utilize that ID tag editing feature?
Just thought I would muck up your thread direction!

Well guys, all this is wonderful info, it really is! But the library isn't quite the same as all this. I'm trying to familiarize myself a little more with the library, i'm a wizz at creating playlists by the methods you guys have described,in fact I've done it this way for years. But if I've got it right, the Winamp library can catalog your music into pplaylists, you can give songs ratings, figure out which songs have recently played, never played, and other criteria. But the thing is for some of the tracks, it seems like the titles appear as, no artist, no title, when in fact i know for sure that the songs all have the proper file names. Now keep in mind guys, I'm talking about the library, not the playlist editor, we're talking about 2 different windows here just so we'e all on the same page. In the playlist editor, these tracks all read fine, but in the library, they don't. it's just weird. I wonder if some of my mp3s haven't been tagged properly in the ID3 tag editor? If that's the case, I may have to run the offending files through that, give it the proper info like track title, artist, song title, album title etc. so that all this info will show up. it's kind of confusing when you arrow through the library and you hear, or in fact see, no artist, no title for some things.
