Why can't WMP get my album info?

Tag&Rename

I shudder to think how my 120gb music collection would look without it

I'm ripping from a CD to mp3, I don't think AAC or FairPlay DRM has anything to do with it :P

And I have to use iTunes, until Microsoft releases their new product this Christmas

Oh, and I think foobar2000 owns wmp when it comes to sound files. Irfanview owns wmp when it comes to video. WMP is way too heavy.

I just want my metadata!

Weird, it works flawlessly for me. I just pop a CD in and iTunes fetches the info on the internet. Maybe someone turned the function off?

There are alternatives, though. Like Tag&rename.

I tell it to grab the info from the net and it sits for a while then says "can't contact database" or something equivalent.

Stupid question: are you connected to the internet?

[Kuciwalker]

No, I'm posting using carrier pigeons

And now it works. Bah.

... and now it doesn't. iTunes uses the Gracenote DB, which apparently spends 90% of the time inaccessible.
