The album information in WMP 12 is not the same as in My Music. I keeps
breaking apart Albums that have additional tracts. How do I get WMP to copy
all album info as it is is my music folder. I have turned off Retrieve
Additional Album Info in Options.

Sorry, just noticed that I had a type in my posting. It should have read
that WMP 12 keeps breaking apart albums.
The album structure is correct in the My Music library (Win 7). Is there a
way to delete album info in WMP 12 and then getting correct album info. I
have tried the restore media library option, but it does not correct the
problem.

This indicates that the metadata is different for those tracks. Get the
Album Artist and Album Name to match and then they should merge.

Thanks a lot. This seems to have solved the problem. I have spent a lot of
hours trying to solve this one.
