Sorry - for 'Internet Explorer' read 'Windows Explorer,' which is the 
file browser in Windows. I forgot to mention that all these music 
players 'populate' their 'libraries' from the tags rather than the 
titles on the audio files, which is why one needs a re-tagger and a lot 
of patience. The players create new folders for any discrepantly tagged 
files, and dump untagged files into 'unknown' folders or leave them 
loose, even if on your file browser they appear coherently organised 
into albums etcetera.
