Okay, here is basically what I did. Trying to be very detailed so it will be easy for someone else to do.

I use Windows Vista if that matters

1. I had my reader (PRS-650) with the SD card inserted plugged into the USB port.

2. I also had an SD card with the songs I wanted plugged into the SD card on my computer, but I am sure you can do this from your hard drive also.

3. Went into "My Computer" and found the SD card that had the songs I want on it.

4. Right click on each song and go to "Properties" Click on "Details" at the top and then on "remove properties and personal information" at the bottom. Then click on "create a copy with all possible properties removed"

5. Do this for each song

6. I then created a folder on the SD card that is inserted in my Reader...I created one that was called "properties removed" for lack of a better imagination! lol!

7. Move each of the copies into this folder

8. I also renamed them making sure they each had a different track number in the new folder.

9. You are set, my prs650 showed this as an "unknown" album and had all the tracks in it and I was able to play them all continuously and shuffled. The tracks still had the album art and the song title, but did not have the artist name.

Hope this helps!
