windows media player transferring media info id3 tags

I need to know how to preserve some of the media information I am inputting
on my Windows Media LIbrary. When I copy the files to another computer only
the basic info about the songs shows up. None of the "custom" info or the
"mood" or the "keywords" are transferred. how can I avoid losing this info
while still using WMP. thanks.

Not all the info you enter is stored in tags so in the audio file.
It is also dependent on the file format used, e.g. in WAV almost none of the
info is stored and certainly not any edits.
The only think you can "do" is to avoid using fields which are not written
in the tags.

What's the file type of these songs (MP3, WMA, WAV)?

With Metadata Backup, you can export all the library information to an
XML file, which can then be imported back on the other computer:
