    Hi there,


    I recently purchased a new desktop PC with Windows 10 already installed, so I figured I'd import my music to the device. However, rather than placing it on the PC's internal hard drive, I figured I may as well keep it on an external HDD which I had been using to play it from previously. On my laptop, Groove Music runs just fine, with everything in working order. However, on my desktop PC, all of the album and song titles are cut shorter than they are in actuality.


    For example, this screenshot shows my collection of albums by David Bowie.

    As can be seen, the vast majority of album titles are being cut short for seemingly no reason at all, for example the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars is only shown as 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy'. a lot of other albums have their parenthetical information cut off, like '(2016 Remastered Version)'. To reaffirm: this is only present in Groove Music. The album titles themselves are not like this.


    The problem continues with song titles, too:

This can be a nuisance when there are several versions of one album in my library, for example a deluxe edition and a standard edition; due to the album names being the same (both being cut short, therefore extra information on the edition isn't present) they all appear under one album in the list.


    I have tried quite a few methods of resolving this issue, such as moving the songs to a different drive, changing the metadata and even deleting the database folder in C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.ZuneMusic_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\Database in hopes of getting a fix, all to no avail.

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.


    Thanks!

    :)

  2. Groove and Album details..


    - anybody know how I can force Groove to accept a particular picture for an album cover?

    - there is actually a picture included in the music folder, but Groove hasn't picked it up, and a search
    from within the Groove app itself for the album details, yields only the song-list and not the album cover..(??) *Confused
