Great player with one FATAL FLAW

Pros: Great video quality. long battery life. great sound

Cons: doesn't properly read ID3 tags...especially track #1.

I bought this handy little thing the week it came out at BestBuy.
On a user level, i was happy with everything. Sound quality. Battery life. etc.

But i ran into one MAJOR problem.

The player could not properly read my ID3 tags. For those not in the know, ID3 tags are the pieces of mp3 information that label the Song Title, Artist, Track Number, etc.

Many of the albums played in the wrong order.
For nearly EVERY album, track #1 was displayed as the LAST track on the album.

It should be noted that all of the same albums played through in the correct order on Apple and Archos products that I own. So the problem clearly wasn't with my tags.

I contacted customer support who responded quickly. They told me to retag my MP3's using Window Media Player, instead of the the Right-Click/Properties basic option that I had always used.
This is all well and good...but i have 12,000 mp3's on my harddrive! Do they really expect for me to retag 12,000 mp3s?

Because of this one flaw, i chose to return mine.

But everything else worked perfectly. ...
