Before I reformatted my hard drive, WMP would always find the cd and songs on the cd when I played it, it would show titles and the Album name.
Now it doesn't. I don't know why. These are original cds that have worked in the past but now WMP10 sin't able to 'recognize' them. I can play them just fine, but it doesnt display any information. When I click on 'find album info' it goes to another site and is able to recognize the album, but when I click finish, it goes back to the 'now playing' page and the information hasn't changed.
Only have 9 on this computer, but check the Privacy options. There's an option to look up data for your CDs/DVDs in there. I'd expect it's still lurking in there in 10. Just make sure it's checked. If it's already checked, no idea.
No idea, ccb. "Display media information from the Internet" should be the proper option you'd need, and it's obviously selected. And you can get information if you request it.
I don't see why it would be this, but have you made any changes to your firewall lately? Really haven't had any problems with my WMP, certainly nothing like that.
I think I'll have to answer with "WMP10 hates you". Or maybe it's Windows. In any case, Bill Gates probably has a back door into Windows and is having fun breaking things for people.
Maybe someone else has some ideas. (Other than "don't use WMP". I'm sure he's aware of other options. WMP actually isn't that bad, IMO.)
DRM gone wild? Hmm uninstall WMP 10, clear downloaded update files folder... get a new dl of wmp 10 at windows site. I prefer 9 over the advertising in 10.
