Firmware 3.3 is wonderful. It simplifies your life. No need for pesky artist names in your files anymore. Every artist is now "unknown artist".
The artists become known again though if you use the quick menu to get to the file info
I have lots that seem to say unknown artist even in the info menu. I recorded some music through Audacity, named and tagged each track including the artist name, album and year. It says all are unknown. It isn't a problem though because I always get to my music with the browse files option and it sees everything there. It is just once I play them that everything is unknown. Everything that I record, I save as a 320kbps Mp3. However, I once tried an ogg, and the X3 then seems to sees all the information I tagged in the quick menu. It never sees any of that info in the quick menu if they are Mp3s. If they are ripped from a CD, it has the info then.
But as you say, while playing the music, almost every track says Unknown artist. About the only thing that doesn't say Unknown artist whole time is my first and only 24bit flack album.
