Check your text file: there is a gap between tracks 03 and 05: ##### "C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Desktop\NEil\cd1\03.mp3" -\> number: **03** artist: Neil Sedaka tittle: Shake A Hand "C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Desktop\NEil\cd1\04.mp3" -\> number: **05** artist: Neil Sedaka tittle: The Show Goes On ##### You have 20 files in your folder but only 19 rows in your text file: so all is ok up to track 03, tracks from 04 to 19 are tagged with wrong (skipped) values and mp3tag doesn't find in your file the 20th row to be applied to the 20th track (and signals this to you with the alert box). Cheers and sorry for my poor english! 😕 El Gato Gordo ---
