Guys wonder in any one can help

I have about 20gb of music on my computer, each album is in it's own folder with the tracks listed 1>12 and some art work for the album.

However when using either windows media player 11 or media center none of the music is displayed correctly

for example the 50cent album has 12 tracks when viewing through a folder in windows but in media player & media ceter has more like 1500 tracks!

i belive this is a problem with mp3 tagging but i am unsure how to fix

i also want to use the artwork for each album

can any one please advice on how to fix

Alas

Try media centre listing by artist. I had the same but it looked ok after I changed that.

all goes down to MP3 extended tags (not just the standard tags) - alot of 'copied *ahem* pirated' MP3's don't have the extended tags filled in properly.

I used some software called 'mp3tag editor'
you need to create a new extended tag called 'band' data string will be %band%
Fill this with the same info as 'author' (duplicate the data) and it'll populate fine in meda center/player

can take a while if you have a load of MP3's, no easy way about it tho

Do a search on thegreenbutton.com - very handy for MCE stuff
