  1. Media Player - Find Album Information


    When I try to Update Album Information from online servers the default server is: musicmatch-ssl.xboxlive.com
    This server seems unable to find any music, even music that was previously found!

    Previous versions of Media Player on my previous laptop searched for album information on Sony Music, I believe?

    Is there a way to redirect or change the location searched for Update Album Information in Media Player?

    Thanx

    :)

    windows media player showing wrong album information and overwriting correct information

    Hi Fredrik,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Please reply to the following questions to get a better understanding on the issue:

    • Since when are you facing this issue?
    • Was the album information showing correct before?
    • Are you facing this issue with a specific song?
    • From where have you downloaded the songs?

    However, you can follow the troubleshooting steps mentioned below:

    1. Close Windows Media Player.
    2. Press and hold the Windows + E key to open
      Windows explorer.
    3. Navigate to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player\Art Cache
    4. Delete all the files inside the
      Art Cache folder.
    5. Restart Windows Media Player.

    Hope it helps.

  3. 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
