Windows Forum / Windows Media / General Topics / August 2007"Find Album Info" missing in Windows Media Player 11 WMP
Hi all - 2 computers, one XP and the other MCE 2005. On XP, I can right-click and "Find album info" for my music files in WMP11 On MCE 2005, I have no option to say that. I've tried changing the view, but matching it with the XP computer, it has that option and mine does not. Privacy and otherwise settings are exactly the same. What's going on? Are the tracks local to the system you're trying to use Find Album Info on?  SignatureSpeaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.

I have the same problem. I am accessing the files on my laptop (running XP Pro), but the music library is stored on a NAS that is attached to my LAN; does that have anything to do with it? Before I set up the NAS I had all the music files stored on a second computer running XP Pro (acting as a server of sorts), but I always had the "find album info" option on my laptop. Help?

This problem occurs on a computer that is running Windows Vista or Microsoft Windows XP. === sounds like what you want. SignatureSpeaking for myself only.

BUT, the great thing is that the "Find Album Info" option is back, even for remotely stored music on my NAS. I guess I just may scrap WMP and use Zune instead. . . .
