I never seem to quite get the knack of having WMP10 organise my music into
the correct folders according to the ID3 tags and I've really got no idea
what I am doing wrong. e.g. I just renamed a couple of album tags for
several of my tracks and WMP has created a folder for the new album name and
moved ~ half the tracks to the new folder. But it has left others where they
were in the first place. I've forced a "Process Media Information" but short
of manual drag and drop I cannot figure out how to make WMP10 finish the job
properly.

How can I get WMP10 to finish reorganising and renaming files/folders when I
rename things and not just give up part way through?

1) Did you put the new info on =ALL= the tracks (check it on the ones that didn't move)?

2) Afaik library reorganization is a 'background task' type thing, which WMP does 'from time to time, when the PC isn't busy with more important stuff', so your problem might get solved by just waiting a while (maybe a long while if it's a busy PC?!).

Does actually =playing= the tracks cause anything to happen? (Just a wild thought).
