Update music files with track information in Windows Media Player

Auto Music Tagging Software

Is there some way I can get WMP to retrieve track information from its internet sources and update tracks in my CD rips? I have several where the tracks are just Track01.wav or Track01.wma, or *.mp3 etc. and I would like to update these tracks to reflect their proper track info.

Alternately, is there any other way I can do this?

possible duplicate of Auto Music Tagging Software also see Auto-tagging MP3s - WMP is not good at tagging optical media "albums" that aren't on the original media. WAV's are limited in their available metadata (tag) fields (perhaps convert them to MP3?).

Hmm, yes, I seem to recall WMP (and others) uses a hash value from the disc as a key to access album info. Maybe time to write a little util, as I am quite prepared to source the album info myself; I just want to automate updating the track files. – ProfK – 2011-10-30T19:56:56.573

Check out Tag&Rename, and Picard MusicBrainz in the linked questions/answers, they are my favs. :) Once the files themselves are tagged properly, then WMP will deal with them better. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2011-10-30T20:04:32.463
