    How to I Change ID tags on .wma files?

    A friend of mine gave me a mixed cd of some of her favorite songs. I transferred the songs onto my computer with Windows Media player but since i didn't know the names of all the songs and didn't want them labeled generically with track 1, track 2, etc. i picked a random album from the same artist when media player attempted to identify the cd ( since its a mixed cd, its contents do not match any actual album.) The artist is not well know so the lyrics to her songs were not( and still are not available online) so i couldn't identify the songs that way.

    I use winamp to play music and now that i know the names of some of the songs, i would like winamp to display the proper titles. With Mp3 files, i can change the tags through the "view file info" option but this doesn't work with .wmas. I tried changing the name with windows explorer and in media play but winamp still loads the old and incorrect titles. Is it possible to chage this?

    On a cd, I don't think you can, unless it's re-writable and you have cd-rw drive.

      That doesn't seem to be the problem, since Windows Media Player already changed the tags once per the random album that was picked. Unfortunately I haven't got the answer, but a guy like Asher would probably know what to do.

      Unless you could convert into mp3's and rename them that way as you're used to.

          Open up WMP.

          Select the library tab.

          Select the section you want to edit and right click, slecting the edit option.

          Edit.


          Okay, that didn't work.

            Select the song you want to change and right-click on it.

            Select Advanced Tag Editor

            Edit.

              blast it, i tried the advanced tag editor and a program called media tagger. Winamp is still reading the old title. I'm starting to think its a winamp issue... I'm using version 5.05. Heres hoping for an Asher intervention....

                Isn't Asher banned currently?
                I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                  god damn it! That would explain the unusually long response time. He usually hits up the tech request threads with the perfect solution within few hours...

                    I noticed he referred to Urban Ranger yesterday in an unflattering way, and so got restricted for 24 hours as a result. He should commence service as normal before too long.

                      Yeah, and he's whining about it at another forum.

                            Should I call the rescue wagons, or do you have this flight under control?
