Old title: Windows Media Player giving wrong info....
I try to rip my music CDs to Windows Media Player but my recent new albums it gives me the wrong album info why is this? any clues.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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.
Forgive me if I confused the thread. The title of the post is "Windows Media Player shows the incorrect album information" which is what I was needing help with. All is good.
Kelly: just like Ric, I was also referring to the issue where your manual edits didn't stick and was suggesting that this could be related to the music format. My apologies if this wasn't clear enough.
I would completely agree about the lack of accuracy in WMP's database and had already made that clear in an earlier reply in this thread (to Bob, I think...)
The more specific point I was looking at raised in your post was your problem with editing and making info stick... however you posted in a 'Vista' thread and I would not have replied had I known you were using W10 because I am not yet sufficiently familiar with it. Good luck with Keith Richards! - R.
