Hi, some of you may have read an earlier post when I wrote that when transferring a couple of CD's/tracks to my BM/BS5 they were not visible on the BS5 under the relevant artist/album section but I could find them if transferred to a 'favourites'. Well those nice guys at B&O have responded saying that I would probably find all the tracks under 'unknown' artist because they probably did not have the tags/album artwork etc. Hey presto they are correct, all my missing tracks are sitting under 'unknown' artist. So can anyone help me with how I add the relevant tags? I don't want the lovely Annie Lennox hiding away as unknown!!

I am using a Mac and iTunes and don't have Beoplayer. This means I have little additional functionality beyong  Beoconnect.

Thanks a lot

Gary

If you right click on her in iTunes you should be able to select "Get Info" then from the panel select the second tab "Info" and there you will find the meta-data tags that iTiunes uses ...

It is worth checking what is there already ... before attempting to edit the fields 

Once you have updated it in iTunes ... someone else will have to advise you on how to get them into the BM5 ... and remove her from "Unknown"
