You *do* realize this is a site with Zune in the name, right? We're kinda' pro Zune here, hence the name. I'm still critical of the Zune software - in fact I'm working on a couple of items that I want to post on because I really don't like how the Zune software works in some ways...

I tried on numerous occasions to import these types of songs and once one song is imported, the 2nd song automatically replaces it in your library.

I don't know what I'm doing that's different from what you're doing, but you're saying that this isn't possible and from where I am, it is:
I took an album, changed the song names to "Untitled", changed the album name to "DUPLICATE TEST" and that was that - they're all appearing just fine. So I'm not sure what you're doing that's different from what I'm doing, but my test indicates that this is supported.

Well, I like saving time as much as anyone else, but this doesn't seem to be a particularly compelling reason to tag in 2.4 if it's causing so much trouble. Does Windows Media Player 11 support 2.4? ID3 tags are a standard, and you're right, the Zune software should support them - I'll email the software product manager and bring this issue to his attention.
