WMP copy the work even on hundreds of albums

Hello

I just bought and torn Marina & album The Family Jewels diamonds.

It was not recognized by WMP, or rather, that it has not been properly recognized as the album of jewels of Chieli Minucci. So I came home all song names manually in 'Finding information', found the correct application on the web, and right click 'Paste album art' on the fake picture. That has worked, but then WMP has started to implement this Chieli Minucci on dozens of albums in my library, or overwrite an existing work, or to make this work on albums with no work.

This behavior already happened once, last year with 2 different albums, on a system Vista with WMP11 or 12, can't remember, now it happens again, probably under the same steps to repro, so I think it's bug still present in WMP12, probably related to this feature to 'Find info', because I edit dozens of names of the song or replaced directly album art in the library WMP, apart from this feature 'Finding information' without any problem.

This has happened on most of my CD with no work or work that I copied manually. My setting to "Retrieve additional information from the Internet" is the default value 'Only add missing information', I turned off the setting of recovery as soon as I noticed this problem, but it seems that most of this work already propagated itself like a virus on 199 albums, so I reset it back as it was. A lot of classical music boxsets are particularly affected.

Anyone experienced the same number, or can repro it? Now I need to delete all the 4 files incorrect work by album of close to 200 albums, I can do it with a little script, but I don't know if there are other registry keys, or else I should delete. And I also want to make sure that Microsoft corrects this destructive behavior.

System: Windows 7 x 64 Ultimate + WMP 12.0.7600.16415

Edit 1:

I think I know why this bug occurs, it seems that the albums that are not recognized by the online database are assigned a null GUID:
{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

Somehow, when you manually change the information of the album and the work, the incorrect database online is assigned to all the albums in your library that have already a null GUID, think that all of these 199 different albums are actually the same!

All artwork crushed have names such as file AlbumArt_ {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} _large.jpg.
As far as I can do it, here is 199 albums for which I pasted work manually, using WMP "Pockets of dough" standard feature. Some were in my library for the month and was removed when I replaced one after you change the names of the songs via the function "Find album info", which I'll never use again.

This is a serious bug in WMP which should get fixed as soon as POSSIBLE, each album must have a unique GUID and must never use a null.

Here are more details on the steps of reproduction:
-J' inserted the CD mentioned above in the CD with WMP player on rip automatically when inserting
-All the tracks on the CD got torn, but with a different artist, album, information of the work
-J' opened 'find info"to see if I could find the correct album information
-No luck, then I entered the song names manually in this same dialog box
-Back in the library, I selected all the songs and the artist name game properly and the artist contributing empty
-J' copied the correct work on the web (amazon.com) to the Clipboard
-J' clicked "Dough pockets" to replace the incorrect work
-J' got an error message indicating that one of the song was in use so stick would not work, but it seemed to work even when
-J' noticed that art had white stripes at the top and at the bottom, so I removed the in MS Paint, which makes the work perfectly square
-J' copied the fixed work of MS Paint and paste again in WMP

Result: WMP has replaced all my work manually selected with an image completely out of words of another artist and album.

Edit 2:

I have no idea what WMP does with this work, now I have 2 additional jpg in my file of the album:

8 649 AlbumArtSmall.jpg
File 30 309 AlbumArt_ {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} _Large.jpg
8 649 AlbumArt_ {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} _Small.jpg
File 7 107 AlbumArt_ {1CAEDEDE-A93E-42F6-8194-78E868FFC53B} _Large.jpg
1 945 AlbumArt_ {1CAEDEDE-A93E-42F6-8194-78E868FFC53B} _Small.jpg

30 309 Folder.jpg

Jpg 2 files in bold with GUID not null are bad, the other 4 are those that were created when I used the function "Paste album art" WMP.

I deleted all the 6 files and reused 'Paste album art' and got the same 4 files with null GUIDS like the first time:

8 631 AlbumArtSmall.jpg
File 30 129 AlbumArt_ {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} _Large.jpg
8 631 AlbumArt_ {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} _Small.jpg
30 129 Folder.jpg

Well, almost the same, folder.jpg seems to have lost some bits between copy & paste.

I'm sure only a few hours, will WMP 'Retrieve additional information from the Internet', i.e. copy again 2 Chieli Minucci non-null GUID JPGs on my album Marina & The Diamonds.

Am I bad luck? All MS trying to repro this

Edit 3:

Before I deleted all these great AlbumArt_ {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} | Small.jpg files, I kept a dozen and fact the following:

-On the first album, use 'Find info', it is a good album with illustrations

-J' deleted all JPGs of the album and used "update the album information.

Results:

-All other albums with null GUIDS have been updated with the work of this first album. Not sure if it happened after the first or second stage.

My question is: How did I get these works GUID null in the first place? I never created these files manually, but still using the "Pockets of dough" function regular WMP. WMP should never allow to create these null GUID, the purpose behind GUID is that they are "unique in the world."

Correction of the information earlier: I got 199 albums with the work of Chieli Minucci even, but I also had 124 albums with good work manually copied and pasted but assigned the GUID null on top. The second step in this post has reset many of them to the work of the first step. In total, it's 323 carefully created albums I've lost or who will no doubt be crushed by WMP at some stage.

(I moved all the separate modifications in this single ticket because obviously posts prevent people from answering the initial question MS).

  • A I move or copy the VM? I have neither. Now what?

    I got my Mac connected (the GPU has gone wrong) and she came back with all the virtual machines 'locked '. I unlocked an and tried to run, but the merger request now that I have moved or copied the VM, even if I don't have neither. My guess is should I choose 'copy' but I wonder what impact this will have, especially with regard to activation / license within the virtual machine. What may have caused change tis?

  • I just reinstalled Debian 6 and Icedove. I copied the profile in my previous installation and update of profiles.ini who has always worked in the past.

    I wonder now to create a new account. Once I have a workaround to default imap and use pop3 I can't open Icedove. I get an error message that Thunderbird is already underway, and I need to shut it down or restart. I can't shut it down because it is not running. pstree and top do not show it so there is no pid to kill. Given zero annoys me to create a new account and the same problem.

    I have never had any problems in the past. Copy the old profile at .icedove and by changing the profiles.ini always gave me my address list and my old emails. Import, said book mail and address were imported, but it didn't.

    I like Thunderbird and hesitate to throw. I don't like Evolution, but I use it maybe and try to recreate my address book. What a waste of time!

    I was not able to find a lock file. However I deleted profiles.ini and it copied from the backup and that seems to work. The lock was probably hidden somewhere in the .default file.

  • I can't download to work - it does not copy the mp3 files to my location (as defined in tools/options) - it gives me a new window with a player - no dwnlo

    I am running windows xp sp2 and I put my site to dowload under (Tools/options), but when I select an MP3 file to download, firefox does NOT copy the file to my location of choice on my HD - instead, it opens a new window with a 'player' of fortune and starts to load the player with the MP3 file. The problem is that I have no idea where on my system, firefox has copied this file, so, I can't leave and come back later and read this MP3 file using winamp. I need to hear right then or lose - if I close this new window (with this puny little ' player'), then I lose the download, there where to put firefox on my PC (I have no idea where it is). It's all under firefox 25.0

    I also use FIrefox 12.0 on an older windows 2000 machine and that works perfectly - I can download any MP3 file, I want to, and downloads of firefox 12.0 (on win2k, sp4) to my location (on my HD), and it gives me the download window so I can watch its progress and have some control over break and resume , and, when it's done, the download window offers me the option 'open containing folder' so I can make sure that where I wanted. In other words, Firefox 12.0 on WIn2k, sp4 works better than firefox on winxp sp2 25.0! What gives? I went through and set up my options for XP just like I did with Win2k and everything looks good, but firefox 25.0 don't know just my chosen and always default place to give me fortune player and I am not able to actually copy the mp3 files on my hard drive - it's firerox almost unusable 25.0 since downloading mp3 files is a big part of my use firexfox - please help. I am not able to upgrade windows at this time, and since firefox 12.0 still works fine on win2k, I do not understand what has happened to firefox?

    Hello littleberry, you can click on the link that leads to an mp3 file or right click on the drive in firefox and choose to download the file like that...

    The predictive text on my iphone 4S has stopped working even though I turned on. Help?

    Greetings Emmyneo,

    It seems that the predictive text on your iPhone stop of work not at all. Is this correct?

    First thing I would suggest would be to turn off predictive text, and then turn it back on again. The place to do this is in settings > keyboard stop predictive , then press. See this help page for reference - Enter text - iPhone

    If the predictive text feature was not returned as expected, quit all running applications and try again.

    Force an app to close the iOS

    If the problem is still present, restart the iPhone-

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
