I missed that Key Step in the above and clearly attributed problems to tagging which are primarily due to how WMP mages/indexes its libraries and presents them when serving.
Thread may have little value if you wish to delete now; but I have now learned that installing WMP Tag Plus is an essential step; which may be obvious. A little less grumpy now .. so thanks.
