OK, I guess tonight I copy the songs to my XP box and edit the tags that way...
However these are the tests I have performed so far ---> and their results:
1) Copied songs and wincab to an xp box and ran Wincab.
RESULT: Scrambled files again
2) Returned to Win2k box. Edited tags with multiple tag editors
RESULT: Scrambled files again
3) Downloaded test version of Virtual Muke Box
(http://www.virtualmusicjukebox.com/) and ran the VMB using the same files
that appear scrambled by Wincab.
RESULT: No scrambled files! Files that were scrambled by
wincab were in the correct order in VMB
4) Loaded Audio Grabber and tried ripping test albums with it.
I wanted to see if Itunes was a source of evil in my life.
RESULT: Scrambled files again
Conclusion: So... I see that dibb1er had success with tag editing with XP. I am going to give it a try and see what happens. I will have to report back later.

*** Please note *** After trying the VMB I was less then impressed. Chris has made a more user friendly and much finer product in my opinion. For example, in VMB you have to use a scroll bar to access any more than 8 tracks on an album. I am using buttons only (no kybd ,mouse, or touch screen) so this part of VMB STINKS ON ICE in my application. Chris' code automatically splits the album up into Vol 1 and Vol 2 at the 13th song mark. MUCH MUCH NICER! The only time this gets in my way is when I have 14 songs and I end up with one song floating all by its self. But as soon as I beat the tag issue I think I will just manually split the few albums like that into my own Vol1 and Vol2 directories. There were about 5 or 6 points that make Chris' code better than VMB in my application.
VMB was not all bad. It had two features that I did like. When scanning the CD's VMB showed the Artist first, the album second, and song list third. I liked that better than the Album, Artist, song list order on Wincab. But the order is only a matter of taste and opinion. Therefore I can't even call it a drawback - I just would like a slightly different layout.
But even through the scrambled order of the songs, I am going to keep hammering at this problem. I am HeckBent on using Chris' code. I have tried it and I have found it to be the absolute BEST.
