[QUOTE="dc2bluelight, post: 1803792, member: 399729"] It sounds like you may have done this the hard way, but hard to tell also. If you use iTunes to "rip" a CD, and you're connected to the Internet, iTunes should find and add the ID3 tags automatically, including known album tags and art (art is a bit flaky). If an album tag is missing, when you get the songs into your iTunes library you can select the whole album and then drop the Edit menu and select Song Info (or just hit splat I). You can edit the tags there and add the album if it's missing. Tags shared by a group of songs (an album) can be edited all at once. You can drag/drop the album to your flash drive by going to the album in your iTunes library... <your home folder>/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/<artist>/<album> Or sometimes <your home folder>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/.... The exact location depends on what version of iTunes and macOS was used to build the original. Mine's quite old, yours may be a bit different, but you can find them. If you get lost, pick out a single song, command-click on it and choose "Show in Finder". Do not relocate the original! Just drag/drop (copy) to the flash drive. Should work fine. Make sure there's nothing else on the flash drive to confuse things. [/QUOTE]
