I use WMP 11 and the CD database is hopeless, especially for classical
music, and it's very US biased, it keeps telling me that my UK and
European CD's are imports:-( and I end up using Exact Audio Copy for
most stuff these days.http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/
I also had problems with the auto update of media info, My setup in
Options a
"Update music files by retrieving media info from the Internet"
unchecked,
"Only add missing information"
Checked
*"Overwrite all media information"
Unchecked
and it seems to behave itself now.
I may end up ripping all my cd's again as when I started I was a bit
short on disc space (60Gb) and used 192kbps, so I may do them all over
again using EAC and 320kbps or FLAC.

I've unchecked ALL of those options in WMP all of them. And the more
I uncheck the longer it takes WMP to load up! This is both before my
harddrive incident in July and after it.
Something else I hinted at but did not succinctly mention: I have my
music collection in: two separate folders on both my harddrive and on
my backup. Podcast files: two separate folders on my harddrive and on
my backup. The music and podcasts of course are in iTunes. So that's
6 places where each of thousands of files resides. Are these folders
somehow talking to each other and sharing/deleting/otherwise ****ING
with the meta data(song title, artist, album, track#, etc)??
