Thanks for the advice dadiOH. I've now configured Winamp so I can see what's
in v1 or v2 format.

I'll make sure that all the info is available in ID3v2, so as to show album
art on the player when I get it. I'll use Winamp to do the tagging or I'll
search for an ID3 tagger if that isn't up to the job.
