Solve : Album Info in WMP 10?

Answer»

I've posted this on the windows.public group, and have received no solutions, so I 'spect this problem is one of MSFT's red-headed bastards that lives under the front PORCH...

Additionally, FOUND lots on Google about the PROBLEM... No solution... But maybe, there's Hope here?

Here's the problem:

'Upgraded' from Windows Media Player 9 to WMP 10.

I use it to play CDs.

When I pop a store-bought disc in, there's no TRACK info, musician info, etc.

So I click "Find Album Info".

Onscreen, I get a listing of the tracks, musicians, composers, etc., with the directions, If this information is correct, click Finish to update your Media Library.

Which I do.

My HD spins a bit.

And my track listing continues to be populated by an Unkown Artist, playing an Unknown Song, in and Unknown Genre.

How do I make the information "stick"?

Again, I'm not ripping, or copying, I just like using WMP to listen to CDs.

I have indeed done everything I can find on MSFT's website. Same pattern as above.

Solutions?wmp tools///options......check the settings...If you are using the Windows firewall, check that as well. Quote

Already tried everything I could think of. Anything specific to look for?

Awesome suggestion... Was using McAfee, uninstalled it, turned off Windows Firewall... And... No change.

What's odd is, on one machine, where I had upgraded from WMP v. 9 to 10 (actually, 7 to 9, to 10), no problem. Same CD, different machine... Problem.

Ugh.
Hmmmm.

What operating system is installed on your PC RJ?Sorry... XP SP2.

On both machines. They are almost clones, except...

The one that is NOT WORKING right... Firefox is the default browser... You think?

Hmmm.... I'll get back to you...Do the following:

1. Tools
2. Options
3. Media-librairy
4. Check folders
5. See if there are 4 entries. If not, CREATE your own.
