It's possible that WMP incorrectly identifies a CD as another album. To fix this, look up the album info manually: right-click one of the tracks, select Find album info , search for the correct album, and follow the remaining steps of the wizard.

If you go to the All Music Guide database (which is used by WMP), and the information there is incorrect as well, you should be able to correct it there.

Also, if you make corrections through Find Album Info, that information might be used to correct the database in the future.

    Rebecca - Hi, I think it would be better to post a new question (top of page - 'Participate') in the section below... explain what is wrong - with an example if possible, and I'll be happy to help you sort it out. - Ric.

    1. Make hidden files visible (View tab, check hidden items)
    2. DRAG (not delete key)  AND DROP everything, except your music files (including thumbs and desktop icons) into the recycle bin
    3. If you had correct album art before, this should default your music back to original album art

    If not:

    Look up the album info manually via Windows Media Player - right-click on an album art, select Find album info , search for the correct album, and follow the remaining steps of the wizard.

    I know, it is very annoying but I do this steps very often.
