Sorry - for 'Internet Explorer' read 'Windows Explorer,' which is the file browser in Windows. I forgot to mention that all these music players 'populate' their 'libraries' from the tags rather than the titles on the audio files, which is why one needs a re-tagger and a lot of patience. The players create new folders for any discrepantly tagged files, and dump untagged files into 'unknown' folders or leave them loose, even if on your file browser they appear coherently organised into albums etcetera.
