Ok, thx for keeping on top of this. I decided to add another folder of FLAC files (being another complete CD, file set as above: media files with ID3v2 tags incl 300x300 JPG artwork, separate JPG and PNG artwork).

After browsing into into Settings, selecting the new folder & refreshing the playlist information went to crap.

I can't make any sense of it. How do I clear what Canola's ingested from its media search to start again and debug. If you hv any pointers to docmtn on how that work pls reply - I haven't much time till l8r in the week to go digging.

I know FLAC's might seem a bit extreme for a portable device but with 8 & 16GB SDHC cards available now, why not?, saves me transcoding as I've decided to use FLAC as my "gold" copy.
