# Does anyone know how to stop
IE 6 from resizing things automatically to fit in the window? It's really annoying!

# Yup.

Untick "Enable Automatic Image Resizing" under the Multimedia section.

# Eep!
The very thought of it...

On a minor, threadjacking note, does anyone know any programs that will examine the ID3 tags of MP3s and sort them into appropriate directories? I'm fed up of waiting an age to get the list of files in my mp3 folder over the network.

# iTunes for the mac does that

# it sorts mine into Artist/Album

# I tried iTunes,
but it kept crashing on my PC. Don't think it could cope with streaming 2000+ MP3s over a wireless network @ 22Mbps. Either that or I had a dodgy MP3 it couldn't cope with.

# apparently they've fixed the code
and now it crashes less. Version 4.1.1

# Dunno, I use Oggs most of the time

# Yes!
I searched high and low for something to do just this, and eventually found The Godfather which does it perfectly :D

# No probs :)
It does exactly what you want, and does it well :)
I've been using it for a while now and although it's a bit slow to load, once it's loaded it's absolutely great. Just so you don't spend ages digging for how to do what you want, when it's loaded, click the "Organize" tab, then choose the main MP3 folder from the list on the left.
Choose "Physically restructure"
In "Root Folder" put the root of the new directory structure, e.g. "MP3s"
My Subfolder fields go:
Field:   Length:
%A       1
%A
%L
(I helped save b3ta! Number_6, Fri 14 Nov 2003, 2:28, archived)
# Yay!
What does that leave you with, that structure?
(I helped save b3ta! The Duke Of Your Fingers feels like an old man... mmm, tasty!, Fri 14 Nov 2003, 2:32, archived)
# It's good :)
It goes:

C:\mp3

then, say for example, my A-Ha songs (shut up everyone, I know) from the album Headlines and Deadlines:

C:\mp3\A\A-Ha\Headlines and Deadlines

Edit:
If you wanted it to go
C:\mp3\A\A-Ha\H\Headlines and Deadlines

then you could use fields:
Field:     Length:
%A     1
%A
%L     1
%L

I think :)
