Music Player/Music Library ID3 Tag woes

Nokia Music Player will automatically organize all your music/audio according to assigned ID3 Tags. These reside in each mp3, m4a, wma file. Problem is how to get the tags to show sometimes. Even the famed tag & rename may be of little help if there are discrepancies between version 1, 2, 3 ID3 Tags in the files. As far as tag support I think that Nokia basically supports ID3 version 2 in its Gallery application, but only ID3 version 1 in its Music Player. Also the music player may simply ignore the v2 if both versions are present.

Simplest solution to rip CD's and get them into your Nokia correctly?
After loosing time with different rippers, tag editors, Nokia music transfer, iTunes I have come to the following, very simple, procedure to add audio to your Nokia.

1. Use Windows Media Player (Yup... %-))
2. I set mine to WMA variable bit rate (why not if E90 supports it so nicely and it creates a nicely small file?) as shown in the screenshot.
3. Edit your tags to your heart's desire in the Windows Media Player.
4. Simply copy the files to the folder where you keep music on your Nokia.
5. Start the Music Player, Options, Update Library and you're set.

You can even create new custom genres and display everything properly in the Nokia music player.
