   May I just suggest to all you music artists out there making mp3s available for download to edit the mp3 tags of your track. It just makes organising them in my music library a LOT easier.
   
   Here are the most important tags that should be filled in an mp3 file:
   
   
   Name: track title
   
   Artist: artist name
   
   Composer: composer's name
   
   Album: album name
   
   Comments: comments, url addresses, anything
   
   Genre: music genre
   
   BPM: track tempo
   
   Year: year recorded
   
   
   Yeah, that's all thank you. Now it's time for a :cheesburger:
   
   :)

   That is a great idea, that way if you are spinning them, it would help out with the mixing of the tracks. Good thinking Mel!

   I was under the impression everyone already does this ? i know i do, and most of the reviews ive given i havent noticed any missing ID3 tags, as far as song title and name goes. but i guess even i am guilty of not putting every scrap of info down. adding BMP definately would help missing , except most mp3 spinners nowadays , have autobpm matching so..

   True, but I find it more fun to mix my MP3's without auto beat matching. Just makes me fell better about my music.

   I'm going to type this thread really fast withous pressing backspace NOW
   
   auto beatbathching is pretty cool although it does kinda make it a little plain to perform the music ... you know, you'd rather be all hand on and stuff mixuing it yourself. Atlthough auto bpm is really good if you know how to use it skillfully .
   
   I haven not put any tags on my mp3s!! lol ... it is a good idea isn't it ... looks like I'll be doin that ...
