Hope this is an appropriate place for my help request.
I'm a long time user/fan of MC but have struggled to master file management. Could you explain how I edit music files so that the properties I've assigned in my MC library show up correctly in Squeezebox, iTunes, Transporter etc - or even Windows files.
At the moment many of my files are read as No Artist, No Album by Transporter but said album contains 10,000 tracks! This is the wording on Transporter for one file and you can see how I've set up the filing system on MC.

So this one shows the ID3 tags. I had hoped that by updating the files from library properties that I would 'create' the correct tagging - am I completely wrong?
