I finally found the problem!!!

I tried what you said, and removed the tags from some of my files and used a different tagger to add some more. Went into ME and they weren't recognised still. I then deleted the Database and ME rebuilt it. Once rebuilt, the file's tags were recognised.

Thought it must have been something to do with the settings of the first tagger I had been using, (mainly used this one cos it had a lovely ability to gather tags from freeDB and automatically add them). I had a good look through all the settings and noticed that in the Tags section there was a box labeled "Always write ISO#### for tags" This was unticked, so I put a tick in it, and tried tagging some more files.

Went back into ME, again it needed me to delete the database, but once done, all the artists appeared correctly in the Browse by artist section and the text search!!!

Guess the tagger must have been writing non standard tags, which while Winamp could read them, ME couldn't.

Now all I have to do is go through my 6000 or so files and make sure the tags are ok on them all .....might take a while, but it's worth it!!!

Thanks for all the help.

Now onto the Skinning....
