RE: [OT] Transferring MCE MP3/WMA to iPhone?

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

...and if you have maybe 5,000 CDs ripped at full bitrate as WAVs in
nicely
organised "<Artistname>/<Albumname>/<Tracknumber -
Title>.WAV structures it
happily "imports" them as a single untitled album with an unknown
artist and
5,000 track 1's, 5,000 track 2's etc...

Hateful piece of crud!
