[Feedback] mp3s created with Amarok won't play nice with others

After spending LOTS of time ripping cds and moving them manually to a sansa  
clip mp3 player, I found everything in the "unknown" catagory. Then, I ran  
them through MP3tag v. 2.5 to add what I noticed were missing tags and change  
the names to something other players can read.  The file name part seemed to  
work fine, but when I examine tags from tunes that came on the player, I  
noticed that not only did the name in the original players' songs have a "_"  
instead of a "-", but that the metadata shown in windows file properties,  
details did NOT have the album name even listed, but that the one created  
with Amarok doesn't show the artist catagory before the title one.

Consequently, it appears that I'll probably have to use either the software  
that came with the player, or windows media player to re-rip all these cds,  
or spend WAY more time correcting the ones ripped with Amarok.  Any  
suggestions?

I tried emailing the address listed on one of the pages you have that had a  
mangled email address for  mitchell at tkded.t.org, or
  mitchell at tkdedt.org, and both bounced back.  If you could supply the correct  
email for whomever else this may need to go to, I will send an rtf file that  
has 2 screenshots of the properties, details tab from windows exporer.

Thanks in advance,
Kent
