I have track numbers in front of some of my song names (not title) in my music libarary.  How do I get rid of them.  They are not in the "name" in WMP.  I try to right click and rename and that doesn't work.  I try going through properties into details and delete numbers in front of name, but it doesn't stay changed.  Tried to edit in WMP and that doesn't work.  Nothing I do permenantly changes the name (not title). 

Help!!!!!!

    Tutorials often seem to lack the specific piece of info you need don't they? Just post in this WMP section (or even in this thread if it is still open - but it will auto-lock after a period of inactivity) - we'll pick it up.

    All the best - R.

    Affirmative on all counts. Respond to, or in any way for, this thread, and we will see it. I have have it on e-mail notification. Yep - I am a dinosaur, a mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, troglodyte. I still do e-mail as primary communication. Don't wind me up, it ain't pretty. I remember 3600 baud dial-up modems being the pinnacle of technology, and BBS's being the best form of communication known to mankind.

    No worries. You can call me MISTER Fossil. <GRIN>

    Yes, MS blew hot and cold over libraries - they thought it was a great idea at first but then realized they had confused a lot of users, hence the simplified structure in W10. The Music (library) folder and the file location are now one and the same where as in W7 you have Library (explorer) + file location (My Music) and the WMP library - delete from or alter in WMP and all is good - delete from; move or alter in the Explorer library = orphaned files in WMP that can't be played or deleted. Not user friendly!

    Cheers, R.
