'Corrupt' WMP Metadata files

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have WMP 11 installed on a computer with several thousand music files. It
seems that the metadata files are getting corrupt. i.e. The 'Album Artist'
and 'Composer' fields are randomly (or so it seems) changed to some other
artist/composer that I have in my library. (e.g. Currently, 'Carl Perkins'
is listed as the album artist for The Decemberists-The Crane Wife, as well
as the composer of several of the songs.)

I know the information was correct when the songs were ripped from my CDs.

Any ideas?
