Solve : Copying files from computer to a flash drive?

1.	Solve : Copying files from computer to a flash drive?
Answer» I'm really a novice here when it comes to this, so I need some help. I am using Quintessential Music Player to organize & PLAY my MP3's. What I am trying to do is to simply copy my music (MP3's) over to a flash drive. I want to be able to do this directly from the QMP's song list instead of from the directory where they are stored on my computer. The reason for that is that when I LOOK at these music files which are stored under My Documents > My Music, half of my SONGS only show the song title, not the artist or the album title. I want all of that to show in my car when I'm playing them. IN QMP, when I look at it's songs list, everything about that song shows & I want the same thing on my flash drive. Can someone help me here? Thanks, KenHow do you play songs on a flash drive in your car? you have to edit the files to that, odds are that the albums and other info was filled in by QMP.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about; the first one shows the song title, artist & album when played. The 2nd one doesn't.

I can click the Summary tab, but it only allows me to change the song title. FYI: I'm using Windows XP. Kenthey're might be a program for this, to load the qmp data into the songs, but as far as i know for adding it to the song titles i think that it has to be done individually. I wonder if this "QMP data" is in fact ID3 tags. These can include Year - Genre - Album - Artist - Track - Title etc. There are plenty of apps that can apply these to mp3 files. I use on called Tag And Rename, and Mp3tag is a free one which can get tag info by online lookups. That's what i had THOUGHT as well, but i couldn't find any prgms that would convert the id3 tags to file names.
