Digital music forum: How to copy music from computer to flash drive

There's a rather good chance that the info on artist and title is stored in the file itself. Then your mp3-player might be able to show them. Album is more difficult, because it's not a property of the mp3-file: a certain track can be sold in different albums.

So just try what works and what doesn't work when you copy from the directory.

The structure of a library, alas, isn't standard. So probably you would need to install a copy of QMP in your car audio installation to be able to read it. That doesn't seem very practical. What does the manual of that installation say about the possibilities of organizing your music on a stick?

A better way might be to switch to iTunes and iPods. Those are synchronized. Then you need a car audio you can plug your iPod in to have that information shown.

Some of my music files on my hard drive show songs in the following manner;
30_-_everybreathyoutake_-_take_me_home
while the ones that just show the title show this;
06 LaGrange

The 1st one I listed when played, will show the song & artist whereas the last one just shows the song title & says artist unknown. So it looks like all my files that show up like the last one need to have the entire info like the 1st one listed. Does that mean that I have to re-name everyone that only shows the title to look like the 1st one?
