WMP11 problems with MP3 ID3 tag data
I use a 3rd party program (MP3tag) to update the ID3 information on my MP3
files because it can do several at once. I have about 300 files that I recently ripped from CD that were missing the ID3 tag information (technically, most of them had ID3 tags, but it was ID3v2.4 which WMP does not appear to support). I re-tagged all of the files with both ID3v2.3 (which WMP reads fine from my other MP3s) and ID3v1 tag information. Winamp and every other media program I have tried recognizes the ID3 tag information, but WMP still shows them as unknown artist and doesn't read any tag information. I have tried removing the files from the library and then re-adding them... that didn't work. I wouldn't really care about WMP not recognizing the information since I don't use it much, but this tag information is fed to my Xbox360 for media streaming and it becomes a real pain-in-the-ass to search through artists to unknown and scroll through these 300+ songs and manually adding each song to the playlist when I want to listen to a particular artist affected by this issue.

WMP11 problems with MP3 ID3 tag data
WMP chokes if there is a slight problem (or what it perceives to be a
problem) with tag data. First, make sure all tag info is incorporated into the file name (use mp3tag to do this). Then clear the tags. Then remake the tags from the file name. Perhaps there is an easier way to do this but this works for me. I'ver had the same problem where WMP can't read the tag but Media Monkey and Winamp did not have a problem.
