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.

    Let's say i have created my own song, and i would like to manually add an image to my song that i am playing on Windows Media Player, is there a way to do such a thing?  Or can i suggest/ add or update the AMG database somehow?

    I am curious if there is something that can be done for this?

    Thanks,

    Brendon
