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...

When I try to open a CD (*not* a CD-R or -RW) in Explorer, it often pops up a window asking how I want to format it. This is kind of silly for a non-writeable disc. If I click Cancel, it won't open the disc. Instead I have to let it try to format the disc and give up before it will open.
