When i put a Cd into my drive, WMP (version 11) doesn't know any info. So i
select find album info. it does find it but refuses to put it as the album
info, instead it continues to be unknown album, artist, genre, year, track
1...i can manually enter all of the information, but this is tedious. it
used to just find the info and have it there for me when i put a cd in my
drive. i have chaged security and privacy settings to no avail. i'm at my
wits end with this. i buy a cd and put it in and nothing for wmp album info.
it does, however, always pop up on my itunes drive. i have an ipod and a
computer and i like to listen to my music on both. please, please, please,
help! what am i doing wrong? wmp is completely updated, so it can't be
that. is there a patch? thanks for any suggestions.

Are you sure that you're going through the full Find Album Info wizard,
clicking Finish at the last step?

This could be caused by a corrupted library, follow the instructions at
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary to rebuild it. Note that
rebuilding the library will make you lose all play counts, and possibly
ratings too.
