I have a new computer running Vista Ultimate and Media Player 11. When I copied my music over it does not see the Album/Artist info. Many of the files were ripped using Real Player and any in the .rm file type I converted to MP3 using Replay Converter. They are in folders Music/Artist/Album/files.

How do I recover the Album & Artist info for Media Player 11?

When you converted the .rm files to .mp3 I'm thinking that the converting application did not also transfer the tags of the .rm file to the .mp3 file. If no tags exist, I think your best option is to download a program such as mp3tag and try using its Get Tags from Freedb feature to try to re-tag your albums.

Or, if you'd rather not download anything, you can use:

1 - WMP's built-in metadata lookup. Right click on the track -> "Find Album Info". Enter the search terms in the field, and click the appropriate result. Note that you'll have to give WMP permission to write to your tags for this to work. Do that within WMP's options dialog.

2 - WMP's built-in advanced tag editor. Find the track in your library, right click and select "Advanced Tag Editor". Note: The ATE is WMP specific and tagging compatibility with other players/programs can be dodgy at times, but it works for me.
