How To: Tag your music for Sony Ericsson Music Player

The music player of my SE K800i has a very special idea of how the ID3 tags in my music files should look like. Tags in the format of the newest version ID3v2.4 seem to be completely ignored, those files show up in the unknown artist/album section. In addition it seems that track numbers starting with a zero (e.g. 01) will be put after track numbers starting with a one (e.g. 10). So here's what I recommend: Save tags in version ID3v2.3, with utf-16 encoding and do not force two-digit track numbers. Easytag is nice for that. Happy listening...
