You can view information about your CD in the Now Playing, Copy from CD, or Media Library features. When you play a CD, Windows Media Player gathers as much information about the CD as is available from databases hosted by WindowsMedia.com, including the name of the artist, composer, and track titles. You can use Media Guide to search the Internet for additional information about the CD you are playing and the artist, such as the artist's biography and discography, reviews, and related artists.
If you are connected to the Internet and play a CD for which there is information, a subset of the information is stored on your computer so that it is available to you when you play the CD again without being connected to the Internet.
Note that the Player must be configured to retrieve information about CDs automatically.
If information about the CD is not available (you have a rare CD, for example), or your computer is not connected to the Internet, Windows Media Player displays the track number as the title.
If the correct artist or track titles do not appear in Now Playing or Copy from CD, you can use the Find Album Info button to update the information. You must be connected to the Internet to use this feature. Newer CDs often contain information that makes it easier for the Player to obtain the track titles and other media information from a database hosted by WindowsMedia.com. If the information in the database is incorrect or is missing, you can also add or edit the information about a CD in the database.
You can also manually edit the media information in Now Playing, Copy from CD, and Media Library.
