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>

    Congrats, Ric!  I dunno if I would have twigged to Separate User Accounts. That is just a tad too complicated for my geriatric mind. I am still stuck in One User = One Machine mode.

    Here is where I have a point of confusion: Windows Explorer has a 'Libraries' view. Windows Media has 'Libraries'. These are very different creatures, even if they share similar names. Just one of my many frustrations with the elves at Microsoft.

    <Stay with me..............If I move four of the folders out of the "music" catagory and put them under "documents", under "libraries" on my computer and leave just one folder under the "music" catagory, WMP only reflects the songs in that folder in its library.....thus no duplicates. >

    I am staying with you. <GRIN> No worries. Now it is your turn to try to stay with me. If you move four of the Folders out of the C:\Users\Username\Music Folder, and into the C:\Users\Username\Documents Folder, WMP only reflects (shows?) the songs in that (which?) Folder in its Library.

    Just askin'. Gimmee a hint and I will do everything I can to meet you more than halfway.
