Are the music files properly tagged?
Check in Windows Explorer, 'Details' view.
If your files are tagged, you will see the song title & artist information in the Title, & Contributing artist columns.
Files not tagged? Artist & Title information or Ad information in the file name?
You may use a third party renaming app to add a cart number of up to 8 digits to the file name, or do so manually in Windows Explorer.
For example: Rename 'Joe Schmoes Bakery.wav' to '600000+Joe Schmoes Bakery.wav'
The plus (+) symbol informs Xtreme that the characters preceding the (+) are the cart number. The information following will be automatically placed in the title field.

For easy searching, decide in advance a cart number range according to file type &/or music genre. Cart numbers may have up to 8 alpha/numeric digits.
For example: Spots = 600000, Current Hits = 100000, Classic Rock = 200000. Liners, & so on.
We recommend that you create individual folders for each file type.
