So how is everyone getting their music metadata?

Sony Music Centre?
Media Monkey?

I don't normally use Windows Media Player but just tested it and it certainly shows all the data here.

Cycled through the data in the top left corner. Singer/Band... Album Name... Track info... Genre etc etc...

Windows media player was brilliant, all you had to do was to right click on an album add album info and it would just simply add it, the other thing was is that it was brilliant for editing tags which it still does but I just drag an unknown artist and drop it on another would tag all those songs with that artist, likewise drag unknown tracks onto an album and it would automatically tag it with the album, it was just so easy, I didn't realise how easy it was until I try to use other ones which quite frankly I totally crap, including iTunes

so my question is is there anything out there as good as Windows media player for tagging before I buy myself a new Windows 10 computer just so that a I can use Windows media player tagging on Windows 10 for one more year before it expires

Didn't you write that you had already installed Windows 10? So why the nonsense of buying a new Windows 10 device?

The OP just keeps opening thread after thread on the same subject. Three so far.
They claim to have already installed Windows 10. So why would they need to buy a new device?

Yeah I did know that and strangely enough it is wrong because I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 and metadata has been disabled in that too and the link you posted said that Windows 8 was unaffected so now I've upgraded to Windows 10 but I've got all the problems we not going to discuss getting it working so I'm back to the same question what do you do to get music metadata what are you using?

Pretty sure that will do what the OP wants.

I've always used MP3TAG for MP3 tagging. I find it simple and easy to use, and used in the right way, it can work on entire albums in one go.

Data for the tags is sourced from various online sources. It needs manually checking, anyway, as it tends to be unreliable.

If necessary, I use a script to copy track data onto filenames, and then MP3TAG can see them and copy them to the metadata tags.

... and all albums by one artist, and/or all albums in one folder.

iTunes does, as I told you above. Do you object to logging into the iTunes Store or something? I can't remember if that's a requirement.

I *think* we're talking about the app going on the internet and automatically downloading the metadata, when you rip a CD.
