Thanks Mark.

I'm not actually even sure what "ID3" tags are.
I only know that the Cowon A3 does _not_ for
automatic searching and organisation (according to
reviews).

What I hope will happen is that the name of the files ripped will
contain what's on the CD jacket, stuff like 

"Nocture no. 20 in e minor"

and not "track3"

Several months ago, before I returned the iPod I orignally bought her
due to it not working well with linux, I was told on this list that
I'd need to use an application like Amarok with it.

I exchanged the iPod for the Cowon for several reasons, one of
which was its "linux friendliness". 

Will such an application be needed with the Cowon A3?
