track naming on windows media player

i-luv-free-stuff

ages ago , on my old pc , i could rename all the tracks on an album with something in WMP that would search for a specific album then rename all your tracks correctly .... is this still available as i cant find it at all?

cheers

Rename as in 'edit' or simply fill in the correct track names? It's still there, it should happen automatically.
If not, make sure that you are connected to the Internet. Otherwise go to 'Tools' and then 'Options' in WMP. Make sure the options that you want are 'ticked'.

i dont think that the same.
when i used to do it , i would search for album name then tick the correct album when a list came up and then it would automaticaly rename my files for me.

if your using media player be sure to have the file info updated from the internet so you will have to go to tools, options then on the privacy tab make sure display media information from the internet and update music files are both ticked.

if its the file name you will have to go to where your files are stored and then rename each individual file, if its the information thats displayed when you play them the (tag) you will have to edit the tag information and this is the programme to do that http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ unless as said above you have ticked the boxes in media player to update the media player information

In the later versions of WMP, not only does it automaically search for the correct track name, but the 'album art' too.

Unless yours is a very rare or unusual collection, it should happen automatically under the conditions described above.

I think WMP uses; http://www.gracenote.com/ whilst Nero and others use; http://www.freedb.org/

im still having no luck with WMP 11 , the tracks still just say track 1 , track 2 etc

Donnie

Is your Firewall blocking WMP from internet access? Have you navigated to Tools and then Library within WMP11?
