I have gone through and individally renamed them by "right click, rename" and it appears ok. However when I transfer this file to my Harrier phone it shows the name in the folder but when played via media player on phone it still shows "track1". This was never really an issue before as I would shuffle music anyway but now I have voice activated programme I need to have the tracks named correctly. Is the 'right click / rename' option only changing it superficially? Is there a more correct way of renaming these tracks. Thanks	sam m (517)

You could also use: http://www.pztageditor.com/ Not sure if the feature you want is on the unpaid version but worth a look as it is a very good program.	zqwerty (97)

Also just a little tip, rename single files quicker by slowly double clicking it or even quicker IMO, pressing F2 ;)	sal (67)
