Oh great, you're one of the even more miniscule subset of the population that refuses to use ID3 tags!

- tzs 17y agoNo, I used tags. I just didn't use them on the player. Given an outside-generated MP3 (as opposed to one I ripped from CD), I had scripts that would look at the tags to figure out where to put the file in my directory hierarchy. Said directory hierarchy would then be synced to the Archos, where it would be accessed via the file browser. To this day, I still miss this approach when I want to listen to classical music. I felt like listening to Beethoven's 5th symphony a couple days ago at work, and it took me about 5 minutes to find it on my iPhone. It would have taken me 5 seconds on my old Archos. The iPhone/iPod pretty much falls apart when faced with music that doesn't fit into the genre/artist/album classification.
