[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 965585, member: 59143"] Totally agree. I'll never understand the Swiss Army Knife mentality that goes into these types of applications. Keep the browser AWAY from the music app ! I don't even want my audio player to touch video... let alone surf the web. Question about why you use managed mode: Where do you get your music from, that it doesn't have vital information such as track numbers or names and such ? I've found that every time I try to use a media player's "managed" mode, it really screws with my file names and they never wind up in the correct order. I've never ripped a CD (or downloaded for that matter) without making sure the format of the album and song was in tact. Ripping a CD should present you with the option to put the artist in a folder with the name of said artist, and in that folder should contain another folder with the album's name, and in that folder, should be every song on said album, formatted with a track number and name of the song. Almost everything in my music collection is set this way, hence not ever needing a "managed" mode to re-name anything. It just sees the stuff and adds it to the library without having to really copy anything. I guess you can look at these files as if they were an alias. Actually.. that's exactly what they are.
