Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / June 2008Ripping, search for albuminfo
Windows Media Player often come up with peculiar and erroneous information on the albums I am ripping. Musicmatch seems to have a better hit frequency. Is there any way I can get the best of both systems? For example: Can Windowns Media Player be configured so that it search on the database of Musicmatch?

No.  Signature------------------------------------- Check the newsgroups archives for prior discussion or solution of your problems e.g. http://groups.google.com.au/groups?group=microsoft.public.windowsmedia Error message codes may be found searching there or via a general search engine query.

Please supply ANSWERS to the questions there, don't just paste the questions into a post. -------------------------------------- http://msmvps.com/thinice/ Thanks Mike: What do I do when I have gone through the pain of filling in the album information? Can I be kind to humanity and upload it to the Microsoft Database, so that other may have benefit of my work?

You can only upload from the initial album search window, and that fails even more than the downloads. And even if you do upload, there's no guarantee that it will ever be visible to the public. The whole feature is a $%^&*() mess. Thanks again Mike: I have a firm impression on what "$%^&*()" signifies. Before I invest too much time in making myself dependent on WMP I must ask you a final favour: what program would you recommend?

It's a pretty poorly-attended market - lots of rocks and hard-places!. Going from one program to another you trade on flexibility, supported file-types, device incompatibility,vendor lock-in, file-system integration,program instability (eg Sonic Stage) and data destruction (WMP). Inevitably you find yourself using multiple tools... Regardless of what you use: backup, backup, backup. Also be conscious that because WMP is rather insidious in the way it continually touches, alters or even deleted tags and files, you have to have non-replaceable backups. Hi, We are a music group and the track names associated with our CD have been entered incorrectly to the windows media player database by a random customer who bought our album! Who should we contact in order to resolve this matter? As the microsoft contact page does not really lead us to any members of staff that seem to be able to aid us in resolving this matter! Thanks RA You should contact AMG (AllMusic Guide) to ensure their database is accurate for your works. SignatureSpeaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
