Media information, which is also known as metadata or tags, is any kind of information about digital media content, such as the artist, lyrics, band, group, album, genre, producer, and so forth.
For CDs and DVDs, the Player attempts to obtain the media information automatically from a database on the Internet. For other kinds of music files that are listed in your Media Library, the Player can attempt to obtain media information from a database on the Internet if the media information is partially filled in and if the check box specifying this feature is selected.
If media information is not found for an item, or if the correct information is not found, you can manually enter the information for it. You can edit most of the media information for any digital media content that is listed in Windows Media Player.
You can edit media information for an item in several places in the Player:
The information that is displayed when you click View Album Info cannot be edited.
You can also get updated media information for CDs if you have added the CD to Media Library.
