    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

    Media Player - 'find album info' not working

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    For Windows Media Player to automatically get info about the songs, such as the name of the CD, the artist, and titles for the tracks being ripped, the system should be connected to the internet.

    Method 1:

    You can run the Windows Media Player Settings and Windows Media Player Library troubleshooter from:

    1. Open control panel > Search for
      Troubleshooting.
    2. Click on View all
      at the right pane.
    3. Search for Windows Media Player Settings and
      Windows Media Player Library troubleshooter and run each of them.

    Method 2:

    If you get an error message when you try to find album info that says you need to change your privacy settings, select
    Organize, select Options, select the
    Privacy tab, and then select the Update music files by retrieving media info from the Internet check box.

    I suggest you refer to this article
    Burn and rip CDs
    and look for the topic
    Add or edit media info after ripping
    .

    If you still face the issue, reply to this post with more information.

    Hope it helps.
