A “friend” ahem recently downloaded a lot of ahem music from the net.
“Friend” then puts said tunes on “his” itunes. Most goes on no problem but a couple of albums won’t load onto “friend’s” ipod in chronological track order. Any answers to this mystery?

ID3 tags will be incomplete on the album. Do a get info on the tracks and ensure the track numbers are in place, Amazon is your friend for this. As an aside the music folder is organised by album artist not artist, useful if there is a featured guest on the track as you don’t get a proliferation of folders with one track in them.

Great bit of software for sorting out the tags – http://www.mp3tag.de/
