Thanks! I think you're right just have to discover what. - Original Message - From: "Steve Jacobson" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2014 12:34 AM Subject: Re: a files property question I'm not certain of the answer, but I believe there is a button to refresh the information in the library. Maybe that has to be done. Also, there are a lot of fields in the properties dialog, so maybe there is another that needs to be changed. I must tell you that some of how this all works is still a mystery to me. I know that when I changed the file name and the title in one case here that Windows Media started displaying it correctly.
