How to edit album information in Windows Media Player

Change the Player added 11 songs title: 12 albums from a media.  How can I change the news so the list of songs from the appropriate album.

Media Player includes now 90 songs as an album - unknown.  I want to separate songs in the correct albums.

I can't find how to change the association between the song and the album tho.  I tried to drag / move on one and it does not work.

Hello

What operating system is installed on the computer?

You can delete the database that could have damaged.
To do this, follow these steps:

Note: I suggest to save the songs and try the following steps.

Step 1:

a. exit Windows Media Player.

b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.

c. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

d. restart Windows Media Player.

Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

 

Step 2

 If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

a. exit Windows Media Player.

b. Click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.

c. Select the folder Media Playerand then click delete on the file menu.

d. restart Windows Media Player.

  • Album art size - Windows Media Player 12

    Repost this, in the hope that someone (obviously not MS, who clearly couldn't care) has an idea how to solve this
    I've seen dozens of discussions around the intarnetz on the issue of small album art in Windows Media Player 12, but does not find a definitive 'yes' or 'No' to the question of whether you can get something larger than the resized image pathetic 240 x 240 display when you play a track. Is this possible? If I play titles in Foobar or MediaMonkey (the two programs I hate, BTW) I can get album art to display 'properly' (i.e. the actual size of the image) but cannot find how do in WMP12
    PS: Mods - do NOT mark this question as "answered" once some muppet of first line reads and publishes a 'response' nothing on it. Also, do not rename the question "how to get album art to display more than 240 x 240 - I don't want" more than 240 x 240' - I want it displays THE ACTUAL SIZE OF the WORK - just like WMP always used to do. ' " Thank you very much.

    I found a solution for the problem of art version 32-bit windows 7 wmp12 album also (since prior to the given by me is true only for Windows 7 64 - bi wmp12).

    Here it is:

    Make a backup before doing the prescribed steps as mess with registry can lead to a DEAD computer.

    (For backup just click on COMPUTER in regedit.exe, and then file-> export-> 'file name' (may take a few minutes))

    1) go to the path in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences

    (2) then create a key with the name 'PlayerModeAlbumArtSelected' and set its value data to ' ' as '0' (without qoutes) (for the creation of new key, right click anywhere inside the window and select "new-> DWORD (32-bit) Value")

    (3) then find the key with the name 'ShowAlbumArt' and its 'value data' the value "1" (without qoutes)

    The Windows Media Player 12 now shows the original AlbumArt who put you in the song.

    Enjoy!

    When I copy a CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message pop up after the investigation period is over: "Windows Media Player cannot download the media for this CD information. The other titles, artist, and album will be identified as "Unknown" in your library. For best results, connect to the Internet or manually add media for CD information. »

    I know that the message appears when I turn on the setting to allow WMP to connect to the internet to get information about the media, but I don't want WMP does. What I want is a button I can push on the pop-up that says "don't show this message again" (similar to the warnings seen in internet explore).

  • Sort Albums by year (Windows Media Player 11).

    Here's the question.

    I want to sort my music by artist and then by album release date (year). This can be accomplished by changing my rip directories, but there is no sorting option for this view in Windows Media Player 11.

    I wish that all the photos to sort through this way.
    Not in this way.

    Using the view 'Artist' will allow me to show all records artist separately, but once an artist is selected, all the pictures are sorted by alphabetical album title by default.

    Sort by 'File' is a difficulty, however, that one album can be played at a time.

    Ideally, a list of all the songs by artist, then album release date, then the album track number would be the most preferred look one and reading method. The ability to view the art of the cover of the album somewhere on the left side of the screen would be considered a bonus.

    This issue will never be treated? Is there a fix Windows Media 12?

    Only solution that I can think of is to change the album TAG. Example: "Album name" for "Album name (2000)", but is not preferred because 1, it is extra and incorrect information and 2, can cause database issues later on the road.

    Thank you. Please address or difficulty! I enjoy new Windows Media player and eager to pass that my primary music player.

    Figured it out myself!

    It is possible to sort the albums of the artist in order of launch date in Windows Media Player 11.

    Right click on the columns to sort near the top of the screen.

    Select "choose columns...". »

    At the bottom of the pop up option button, click the checkbox "include release date in default sort order."

    Which brings us to our next problem!

    Now, the albums are sorted from the newest to the oldest, as opposed to the desired direction chronologically from oldest to newest.

    You can click on the column heading 'Album' to use, but Windows Media Player 11 does not this preference of sort memory.

    Is there or is there a fix for this?

    Edit:

    Found my answer for that as well:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/FAQ/library.mspx#q1_20

    It does not seem to WMP11 do not forget your sorting preferences was done intentionally.

    This concludes my questions and honestly, looks like a poor choice that I would like to see fixed.

    Hope this helps someone else in the future.

    When I try to play the file, WMP shows error then update says "video codec".

    How then can I get this update for the video codec?

    Thank you, Michael Phelps 907

    Hi Mike,.

    an .asx file is not a media file. It is a file that contains a pointer to a content online. So if you are unable to read a .asx file and are able to play other files using Windows Media Player so the best thing is to open the .asx, a Notepad file. When you open the .asx using Notepad, you will see a link that starts by http: and so on. Please copy this link and go to Windows Media Player. On the Windows Media Player window, press the Alt key on the keyboard and click file and Open url. Paste the link and check if Windows Media Player is able to open the link. If she opens the link this is a problem with the formatting of the .asx file and if it does not open the link then it is a problem with the server online of the .asx file. It could be that it is deleted from the server.

    Hope this information helps. Keep us informed on the status of the issue.
