What is a "Tag based" file system?

[mikecole]

I use a creative 5gb Muvo for my portable music needs. I'd like more storage so I'll consider the zune. I didn't consider purchasing the ipod because I don't use itunes (or any other online music purchase site) and WMA is superiour to MP3. I fear however that this "tag based" file system could be a deal killer for me? I like the fact that my Muvo shows up as a generic FAT32 drive. It sounds like you'll have to use an application that understands the file system to add/remove files from the zune?

This sounds unfortunate :-(

from what ive heard wmv is supirior cause it gives you better sound quality. not sure though. also i saw something on the videos about chossing between wmv and mp3

Isn't the tag based system where it reads from all the ID3 tags and metadata instead of the title of the song so you can have album art and stuff?

I believe so, and it's a real pain if you have alot of p2p files with poor tagging.  When I had my ZVM i went through all my files one by one and set the tags correctly...I ended up returning the ZVM, but I'm glad I got that out of the way.
