re pedants....err....whatevveerrrr.. glad to see over-education isnt just an epidemic in my part of the world.. carry on!

verbal, do you mean a single file, with multiple ID3? Like on dirtyradio, where its a single stream, but the ID3 updates every so often with the current track. I'm not sure how that works outside of streaming mp3 - i guess shoutcast does all that for you. If you saved the stream as a single file (ahem, I'd never do such a thing.. ) then i guess it would have just the last ID3. Dunno.. gurus?

The thing that really annoyed me about listening to mixes was the click between tracks, if you split them up. Of course, that way you get the proper names..

What MP3 players worth their salt don't support tagging? Pretty cack ones, at a guess...

Interesting topic!

No, I mean a DJ mix that is in multiple tracks. I like looking at the screen and being able to nkow what the track and producer name is as well as the DJ mixing it.

I have a few CDs I've ripped into multiple tracks and I'm just curious how others handle this. But noone wants to share. Oh well.

ah i see. well, imo, best way is directory with name of mix, and DJ, and then call the tracks what they are, producer / name etc. Its what the majority of the mixes I see online use, and it makes sense.
