cool thanks :) It didn't used to work though... I'm sure of it. Though I used to run ubuntu on my laptop... it was so crap it hardly counted as a laptop, so maybe it just couldn't work out how to write the metadata :P The only reason I don't use Banshee atm is because of the filter box. It doesn't work. sometimes I can type something in and it finds it. Other times, I can be LOOKING AT the album, then I type it into the filter (doesn't matter which field I have it set to), and it says no results found. I haven't noticed any banshee updates recently, so I haven't checked it out... do you have this problem with it? Cheers :) =================================== Farran Lee I'm only 16 :P
