Windows 10: How to Change File Names on Windows Media Player?

I'm in the process of transferring my music files from WMP, to my Microsoft Zune (Yes, I know they've been discontinued, but I am using one to play my music instead of on my phone). My only issue is the file names from the music I download and put into my music library. I download from YouTube, Musicpleer, etc. For example, one file might say "(Song Name) Lyrics", other is, "Musicpleer(album name)". I'm able to change names to display the correct song name, artist, year, etc.

But, I have noticed that when I have transferred songs from Media Player to other mp3 players, phones, etc, and some of my songs will go back to the original file name instead of the ones I edited to display correct information. I tried to change file names in the folder I put my music in, and this still occurs.



What are some ways I can keep the file names edited?

New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:

• Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
• Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
• Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.

There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).
