Coming back to the handling of MP3tag: For MP3tag it is not important that files reside in one folder or on one drive. You can load files from the C drive and then use the function to add further folders which may live on the f: drive. You can add folders either with the functions from the File menu or from the explorer via drag&drop plus pressing the Ctrl while you do so. So if you copy first one bunch to c: and another to f: and then load the files from both locations then you might not need to dig into the intestines of your PC. ---

Hi, just to say that I have now got everything to work as I wanted to. Thank you to everyone who chipped in with helpful advice, and the one particualr colleague who reminded me about the absolute necessity of having backups. I was so glad when I thought that I'd inadvertently screwed up days of work, but was able to salvage everything with the backups I'd made. I must apologise for going off topic, but I'm not totally conversant with the forum protocols, as regards what goes where. Thank you again for enabling me to solve my issues with you wisdom, and far greater experience. ---

Better late than never I myself use the `GENRE` field for literally one word tags. So that then I can filter my files using the Filter Box applied just to to `GENRE`. And then load the results to Winamp It is manual method- but it is simple and it works ---
