There's something I have to ask; at what bitrate are your MP3's recorded, and, for the most part... are they less than 5MB in size?

Have you tagged them? If they are just named in windows, the name will not show. They have to be tagged. You can tag your files with free programs you can download from the net, everybody is different, you will have to look and see which one you like best.

To save the tags left by itunes you have to have a tagging program, reopen the file and then save the tag. Hope this helps.
