Moya" from the dang thing. What about album in the name of the mp3? isn't that good criteria? as you yourself say you just may have hundreds of versions of a particular song. Or how about artist ? I do note an irony, when complaining about misspelling "can't" some one mispelled "me" when saying "All you people cost my hours and hours " I hate finding a good tune and having to edit something like "Library of Ephraim F.

However when I was watching the movie "Hable con ella" de P. Almodovar I came to know the version of Caetano Veloso in Spanish. I think it must be one of the most sensitive versions ever recorded and it fits very well in the movie. I listen to it regularly now and It remains beautiful. Ephraim you know this version as well ??

Some experts say that Mariachi is the only kind of music that is purely new world. <br /> <br /> Its about a man whose wife dies. He is mourning in a garden by drinking and crying. A dove seems to comfort him by cooing. "They say that the dove is nothing less than her soul"<br /> <br /> The 'root' version of Cucurrucucu Paloma is by Lola Beltran. The version by Nana Mouskouri in french is very good. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a Swedish version. If you find one let me know.

Not familiar with the title, I think. The most I have of one song is probably three or four recordings of "Greensleeves" or something.

It gets out of the way completely. <br /> <br /> Then it allows me to organize my hundreds of mp3's at least on screen. Plus I make up genre's that allow me to sort my way. I have 102 versions of Cucurrucu Paloma. (my favorite song)<br /> <br /> The latest thing I use is the 'party shuffle'. That plays random songs from my library.

With that you can edit or change the files' descriptions pretty easily. Have you tried iTunes? With that you can edit or change the files’ descriptions pretty easily.
