Have you ever inserted a commercial audio CDROM and have Windows Media Player completely misidentify it? This happened to me last night. I tried it on another PC with the same result. But, when accessing the same CD via iTunes, it got it right. Clearly these two programs go to different places on the net for their info. Is there a registry setting or other hack to tell WMP to go elsewhere when looking things up?
At least if it were going to get it wrong it got it really wrong....wrong abum title, but also misidentified track 1 which was "Also Sprach Zarathustra" as a Billy Connolly track.

Who said MCE doesn't have a sense of humour.
Oz
WTF?
Nietzsche, in German?
A little more highbrow than my old Iron Maiden cd's. Which, by the way, were identified correctly first time.
I would just rip it incorrecty, then use something like Mediamonkey (free download) to change the track names, file names and grab artwork. That way you shouldnt really have to do the manual thing.
Media Monkey has definately become my close friend over the last few weeks.
Ive had to re-tag 15,000 of my 25,000 tracks in my library.
Couldnt have been easier. It fixes artwork probs, unknown artist probs, incorrect track names etc as it uses a Amazon source to grab info.

Pretty nifty app. And the price is PERFECT
Indeed the price was just fine and I've downloaded but not tried it yet. However, I already have a question, since reading their ReadMe file it is talking about its own database, which sounds Access-ey. My desire is to leave the MCE box alone for the fixups and I have transferred all the My Music from it (songs only, not WMP's database) to another machine in the house where MediaMonkey is located and the fixups will occur. It is hard to "get time" on the MCE box for maintenance, if you catch my drift....
After I use MM to fix everything up, is it possible/how do I export the fixed up library back to the MCE box with all the cover art, tags, etc. intact? I know how to clear MCE's music database, but I am unclear how much of MM's stuff is kept in its own DB and how to get it back to the other machine before I even start the fixups.
