Can you post the complete error message? It could mean that it choked on a file in your music collection that is not WAV, AIFF, or MP3.

It doesn't stick, it passes the files up and give the error...

"6blocc - red fiyah dub.mp3:.WAV.AIFF header not found, and failed to decode MP3!"

That's the full error message. It just goes onto the next file....I don't know what is different about this and a few other files.

That means the program failed to recognize that file as a valid MP3. The way to fix this problem is to use iTunes to re-encode that MP3 and also strip out the album artwork.

Well, I don't know about song organization. There are, of course, a gazillion programs you can use for song organization. The main thing I like to use iTunes for is to encode MP3's that I know will work with my software :wink:
Many other MP3 encoders are not so sure to produce files that will work with Ms Pinky. Plus, iTunes is free, right? So why not?
