@Damien and Nay – Apologies for ID3 tags – presumed the artists had this sorted .

@Andrew – I seen a BLANK 1Gb for â‚¬19.99 the other day. If if you wipe the songs off, it’s still good value for a USB key.

Must agree with you Mulley, the album content is really strong with several well-known bands alongside some relatively obscure newcomers. Would’ve preferred less boring Vesta Varro/Dirty Epics in favour of more Ro Tierney but that’s the way the panel vote. Still good to see determination and effort to give Irish music the attention it deserves.
Very disappointed with shoddy ID3 tags which make importing to iTunes (and probably all music players) a very annoying experience because no one wants to edit titles in order to keep a tidy library. Certainly the most important factor for future improvements.
Also took ages to figure out how to release the hidden USB slot but sure, all part of the fun, like hidden sweets in your tricycle panniers on Christmas morning!

I hate memory stick albums, can’t stand them.

I’m basically anti-Irish music since the Immediate split up though.

See, the rest of us have to pay â‚¬12.99 for it, which is quite a lot for an album which features only 2 acts I’ve ever heard of. I’m still tempted though, after your glowing review.

And I have absolutely no idea what an m3u is, I’m just not down with the kids any more.

I miss winamp
Though I never used the m3u files, just added to my mp3s directory and made sure tags were correct.

now if only i could find a programme that would fix my untagged files on my mac…

As for the compilation, I only know 4 bands and wanna get to know the others.
