Obviously the display area is too limited to reveal more then the artist's name and only part of the album title. The song title doesn't get a chance to appear. I edited the tags to eliminate the album title with the intent that only the artist and song title would then appear. My N800 file manager listing follows this format perfectly, but Kagu keeps picking up the artist and album title first. Consequently, in my listing of song titles, I only get the artists with numerous listings of the same album. No song titles are displayed to help me choose which song to put in the playlist. In the future, I will only rip entire albums. Again, many, many thanks. I'm prepared to drop the matter, if you are!
So, you're putting all of your songs in one dir? That might have something to do with it. We use the dirs to help us identify albums with multiple artists that should be classified as "Various Artists". Kagu sort of expects an /media/mmc2/album_name/song_name.mp3 format. We've tested having various artists within the same dir, but I'm not sure what happens if you've got various albums in the same dir.

We've changed the scanner code a good bit 1.0.8. You can always try that and see if it helps. I'll try to test about lumping a bunch of songs into one dir later tonight.
