Thanks. Obviously I had given no thought to how the system would achieve this, but
you have to admit that it would be nice to set the details applicable to music files
though the My Music system folder and have it apply to all sub folders and files
in My Music. Since so many amazing things are doable through Creative Element Power
Tools I thought something might exist to make it easy to set the details for My Music.
Thanks for taking time to write. Trudy
