Ah, I'm not using any other program than EAC. Like I said, I really know nothing about formatting music, I've only ever used Windows Media Player to rip CDs before lol! I've only put 2 albums onto the N3 so far but when I'm playing the tracks it's scrolling the correct artist, album,track number and track title, but in Music Categories it doesn't list the 2 separate albums. Will a separate program correct this?

I'm travelling for the holidays (with a Linux Netbook), so I'm away from my Windows PC right now - and can't review the settings for EAC.
I've used EAC, but normally use JRiver Media Center, since I like the flexibility & control it gives me for tagging while ripping CDs.
JRiver MC is not free, so you might try downloading and installing the free meta-tagging program, mp3tag [ https://www.mp3tag.de/en/ ], which works with a variety of music formats, and not just mp3 files.

Most DAP's don't have a user replaceable battery. Even if you could open the unit, the battery is likely sauldered in place. This unit is only 150 USD. Even players costing 5 times this much are the same. Nevertheless, the battery will likely last several years.

What format are you using? If you're ripping to .wav, then yeah, it wont show tags. If you're using .flac, then there's something else not right.

I'm ripping the CD's to flac and then moving the folder with the album in to the N3 via the USB cable.

Not knowing what else you have or what else you like, I was uncertain as to how to reply. Right now I am listening to Over The Rhine - Meet Me at the Edge of the World. Double CD. I think you would really like it. Maybe you already know it.

Another band that I could have seen at the Ark but never did... unfortunately.

I just use normal 16bit flac and sometimes 320k mp3s. I don't want really huge files taking up too much room. Yes, great sound quality with the Cayin. Some disagree with me but I use the Super Slow filter.

Why care what others think? Use whatever you think sounds good.

Thanks DBaldock9. I've loaded a couple more albums since. So at the moment, if I go into Music Library and then TF card, I can see in alphabetical order by artist, the albums present. If I then press the centre button it'll take me into the album and I can start playing it. When playing, I can see the album art and scrolling underneath - artist/album/track number/track title/44.1KHz/16 bit, but then I get "unknown artist/unknown album" also at the end of the scroll. If I go into Music Category and look in Genre, Artist, or Album, then there is nothing there, it just says "Unknown Genre" etc.
It seems to me that I'm not setting up the meta tags (if that's the right term?) in the Filename tab under EAC options correctly? I've tried finding answers on the web but no luck so far?

It would be my guess that EAC isn't saving all of the info in the files - or saving it in tag names that the N3 isn't looking at.
You could easily check to see which tags have info, by loading the files into mp3tag on your PC.

Thanks. I haven't downloaded mp3tag yet so will do so tomorrow and have a go with it.

Hi michael bland,

Not sure about cue data.
