Dear All,
I tried since several days to read in WMplayer new cd's, however I can't get Access to MS database at fai.music.metaservices.microsoft.com.
Is there a lone down of Server?
I use Windows 7 Pro and could Access with no Trouble until 3 weeks ago.
Now tried again but failed.
I checked to reqch this Server though Office PC with Windows 10 and IE, but fail, too.
What went wrong so far?
Or does this Service has been discontinued?
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.
Those who are interested in making fai.music.metaservices.microsoft.com come back, please vote.
I spoke with an engineer, the votes should be between 50 and 100 to be heard.
In addition, they can call the corresponding subsidiary of their country asking for the case 1474201060 o 1476315594
The link is to an inner sanctum to which mere W7 mortals have no access or rite of passage. Please vote on our behalves.
Good afternoon, those who want this to be fixed, click on the link that I will send to vote in favor of the request in the Windows 10 Comments center so that fai.metaservices.microsoft.com in Windows Media Player is again linked .

As an add-on to my above post with regards to WMP not recognising album art after creating said file(s) using CDex. Well, once the files have been added to the WMP library, then the album art is shown whether you open a track from inside WMP, or just by opening the file from inside a folder.
Hopefully this will be of help to any of you looking for a work-a-round.
Cheers - W-W
Dear all
as so many of you have said it's one of those things that drive you insane. I've found a work around, well, a way of temporarily working around it. Having tried WMP and WMC and having no luck, I stumbled on the following programmes that so far have been working, although there are a few extra steps to take.
For the past few days I've been using Cdex which has done a good job on naming the tracks and you can also add album art to it. It retrieves all the metadata and is fairly quick.
You do have to do a bit of a set up such as where you want to save the ripped CD too. I just chose 'My Music', but it really only takes an extra minute or so. I then google the Album Artwork and save it to a file folder. Can then add the artwork for the CD in the program before doing the rip.
The important thing is to choose CDDB in the toolbar and then click on 'Read Remote freedb'. At this point ( I think it was at this step) you have to enter an email address to activate it. I'm not a fan of that but haven't had any increase in junk or spam emails.
It works fine with Windows Media Centre and VLC, but Windows Media Player won't show the artwork whilst the others do. I think this is again highlighting that Microsoft are trying to dictate to us what they want us to use. I'm on Win 7 Home.
Anyway, here's the link..... https://cdex.mu/download
https: // cdex. mu / download (expanded just in case MS delete it on here)
Best of luck!!
