I spent 3 days editing all my tags in SL but for some reason , when i restart SL all the work is lost until I actually load the a track.That perticular track that had a messed up tag will then reform itself to the way i modified it I.E.: the track could be name "In_the_club" and i would edit it to "In The Club" for easier search. Once restarted, the tag goes back to "In_the_club" untill cued then the tag then reads "In The Club". Alot of my partners on PC have this problem but those I know on Mac don't. What causes this and how do I fix ot???It is a reacurring problem that persists with every version of SL that I have used.

have you tried rescanning your ID3 tags within Sratchlive?

i was a little scared to do that. If I do that, will it overwrite my work with orginal tags or will it load what was saved?

Rescanning the id3 tags just reminds SSL of what information it sees in the tags.
Its won't change any existing info.
