No problem, and remember.. you have my vote for El Presidente. 
PS - on all my mp3's that "work" on the home screen, i.e. all Track/Artist/Album info is present and accounted for, I've done two things...
1) made sure both v1 and v2 ID3 tag info is encoded with the file.
2) for the v2 tags, made sure they're v2.3
...I'm not sure which of those things (if either) "did it".. but after that all my Artist/Track/Album info displays correctly.

I have no trouble sharing tracks between the two, but the trick is to have MP3 files (193kbps?) saved to your computer that will work in the libraries of either software. When I download tracks to my ipod, the track names in my itunes library reference MP3 files in another location...when itunes downloads them to my ipod, it converts them to 128kbps and their proprietary format, but it doesn't affect my MP3 source files.
Some posters prefer itunes to burn MP3 CDs, but I prefer MusicMatch...it's easier to organize my music and the presentation is easier to understand than itunes IMO. I use itunes only for the ipod.

Once you decide on a standard file name form for your MP3 files, no more problems. I have found some track/file names do not automatically copy to your computer from a CD in the format you prefer (even with the preferred format built into MusicMatch)...I have had to go into MusicMatch "Edit Track Info" and "Rename" the files using my selected format. Just don't forget to click the "Apply" button.

My experience related to "Track List" page (not MP3 tag info):
Using MusicMatch and Nero
Only 8 characters appear regardless if having 1 or multiple folders
Using iTunes
Song titles appear correctly
Songs that are longer than 25 or so characters don't show up on list and don't play
Anyone use MusicMatch or Nero to successfully create a CD that shows the "Track List" correctly? Thanks.

If you are doing your own MP3 mix CDs, here is a nifty little program (freeware) that normalizes the volume of a group of MP3 files, so you don't need to keep reaching for the volume ****. This was a real problem with my old rock & roll mixes...
You run this program on the MP3 files before you burn them to the CD.

abrimberry, if by "Track List", you mean a display of the next few track titles, the Bose 6CD doesn't have the luxury of a big display screen like the Nav, so I am limited to the data on the track that is playing. You can see the title, artist, album, and folder by scrolling through with the "i" button...Or, you can scroll through the folder names on the CD by pushing the << and >> buttons.
My results on getting all four items of data to show on the display has been mixed; most tracks show all four data items, but some tracks show only the title and the artist. It's a mystery I cannot decipher.
