Sansa e260 MP3 Player 4GB Help

Ok, I've done a few searches on here for mp3 players and came up short.

So, I need some help with this thing.

First I'm really liking this MP3 player. It does everything I'll ever need it to. But what puzzles me is when I look for songs in the GENRE mode there are only 1-4 songs in each genre! I've got well over 300 songs and they don't show up in the list. Is there anyone out there that knows why?

Thanks for the help.

Oh, by the way. What I've done is just made my own play lists and sorted them that way. It works but that's but I just can't seem to find song by their type (genre). And I can't figure out why.

MP3's come with IDE3 tags embedded with the file. These tags are where they store all the information. IE song title, album, date, GENRE. I believe that your tags are not conistent and that's is why they are not showing up in your mp3 player correctly. Find a good IDE3 tag editor and start organizing. I'm not sure if someone can suggest a good one to use but it's a start.

I think that's kind of what I did. I dumped all of my songs on the player and then in my library I edited the genres to just Alt Rock jazz country blues and metal. I also made my play the same way, this way I know I can find them. But it kind of aggravates me that I can't get it to work the way it's suppose to.
