Re: Re: Re: CD not recognized?


Ah: yes, that should clearly indicate that your library is broken. If you reset it-

you should be good to go again.

In addition to this: my media library is and stays empty. When i
mannually add the folders in which it has to search for files, and
push Apply, it looks okay, but when I close the window and open the
preferences again, no folder is added :-(
Cannot help but think that one has to do with the other.

Ah, sorry.

It does so on all CD's I insert. Commercial CD's, yes. But usually,
when I insert a CD, WMP starts searching for the music data and adds
them automatically. Now it just says "Artist Unknown", etc.
But when I manually let it search for the correct artist, it seems to
know exactly which CD is in the laptop. It just does not add these
data to WMP, not even when I tell it to. So ripping it to my harddisk
is a workaround, a good one, but I'd rather have my WMP working
correctly again ;-)

Thanks

You need to post more info - like:

is it any/all CD's or just 'a' particular CD?
if it is a commercial CD, you can't change/update anything on it - so
everytime you insert it, WMP will behave the same way

better to rip it it your PC and update it there and you won't need to put
the CD in again

Hi!

I have only just started working with WMP version 11 (with all updates
installed), and when I insert a CD in my laptop, WMP does not
automatically recognise the CD anymore, like it used to in older
versions. When I tell it to search for the data, it always finds the
right song titles, but when I push the button and tell it to update to
these song titles, it just doesn't, so I have to edit them manually,
which is rather a bore. Is there any way to change this, or is it a
bug?

All the best,

Joyce
