THE FIX for "Find Album Information" Windows Media Player for Windows 10

I was having difficulty updating my album info in Windows Media Player. I tried just about everything online to no avail. Then I followed these steps and it provided the resolution.

windows media player showing wrong album information and overwriting correct information

i had an error when writing the problem, the album being replaced was "rubber soul" not "revolver" fyi...

1. 1 day problem, faced it immediately when i ripped the cd.

2. the album shows a small album art and title info at the dvd drive d: when in the explorer/utforskaren library, both art and info shown is correct. its only wrong when its being ripped.

3. all songs from the "beatles - rubber soul" are overwritten when i rip the album the "beatles - please please me", the songs, album art and title takes the place of "the beatles - rubber soul" effectively removing all of the "rubber soul" album replacing
it with "please please me"

4. the songs/album are from a complete cd collection called "the beatles - in stereo" its the entirety of beatles songs, on alot of cds.

will try and do the 1-5 steps you posted me. ill get back

thanks for a fast reply

Fredrik
