In need of help
 

i am about ****ing read to break ****. my media player (windows media player) has a tag editor in which you can change the genre, album, title, etc.

I am trying to change the titles so that they are grammtically correct, and the genres. However, after changing them, the media player automatically switches them to having no album, and adds the band's name and a - before the song name in each title, i.e

I changed "The Discomfort Of Pleasing Embryos" to "The Discomfort of Pleasing Embryos" and the genre from "Rock" to "Screamo".

The media player then changes it to "Manhattan Skyline - The Discomfort Of Pleasing Embryos", with no album listed, and the genre "Rock".

It has been doing this straight for a week, and did it to my songs from another band as well, but stopped. I tried deleting the files and adding them again, but then it said it couldnt add them because of the filetype, despite autoadding the files when i extract them.

someone please help me.

and don't ****ing say "just leave them the way they are", because this is not an option.


EDIT: I've appeared to have fixed it after renaming it repeatedly, but does anyone know why this is happening and a more efficient way to fix it? I'm not even sure that it's going to stay fixed

Don't use WMP. It sucks.

gee, thanks.

No seriously. I am trying to help you.

What do you suggest instead?

Just edit the actual mp3 properties as opposed to the ones in WMP? That's what I do.

this is an old thread

you can't edit genres and stuff in the mp3 properties

iirc

Ill find the link but there a free ware program that makes labeling your music very easy.

that is if this is sill a problom

it hasn't done it recently, but I have no reason to believe that it's fixed, or still there, or what...

it's pretty stupid.

Im just curious about this but, wasnt there an old thread about what music player people use on there computer?

I was lookin around a bit and couldnt seem to find it.
