Does the track name/artist/album info on the Neuros itself come from tags on the file or in another database? I ask because I'm on an extended trip away from my home computer with access to a laptop with NSM. There are files that before I left, I wasn't able to name properly (they show up as Track1, Track2, etc) so I plugged my Neuros (original) into the USB, had it search for orphaned files and only list them in NSM and not copy over (I'm not about to put 20 gigs of music on a computer that's not mine), and then, while the device was still plugged in, used NSM to redo the tags of the tracks. Now, on NSM they appear properly, but when playing and listing tracks they still show the old names. Is there an extra step I need to take?

The tag info comes from a database on the Neuros. You should change the tags, allow NSM to read the tags from the file, then sync.

How do I let the NSM read tags? They show up properly in the NSM already, and then I synced.

That's strange, if they show up right in NSM and you synched, they should show right on the Neuros, too.
But you could try NDBM or sorune to do a rebuild if NSM really is not working ...

I tried NMDB and really liked it -- the only problem is that it won't edit track number info and things like that. Then I discovered that if I tried to reimport the files back into NSM it removed all my Neuros tags... but now NSM seems to be working properly. Odd.

NDBM writes a different database-structure, so when you used NDBM and then switched back to NSM, it had to rewrite the whole database. Because of that it didn't find your tags, but it wrote a completely shiny new databse and thus corrected the problems there might have been before!

I don't understand what you mean with tracknumber. If you mean the one in your file-tags, you can easily edit them via free tagging-progs. To lazy to search for one right now, but there are many out there!

I find that Windows Media Player is also handy for editing tags and is usually already installed on most systems.

I didn't use that, ever, since Win95!
Always when I see it I get hysterical and begin screaming and ramming my head into the next available display.
So I wouldn't know about the possibility of tag-editing in it. I know Winamp can, since I use it sometimes.
And I know MPC can't, because I use it all the time! I like guliverkli!
