Win10 - Windows Media Player

07/02/2019 12:10 AM

FIRST - please no MS bashing required......I'm just looking for advice (cannot change programs)

On purchasing (receiving as a Father's Day gift) a music CD set - when I rip to my home system, it populates all the media completely - artist, CD name, track names by using musicmatch-ssl.xboxlive.com

I copy said files (that I officially own) to my laptop, it will not populate names and tracks by using FAI.music.metaservices.microsoft.com

Looking through Media Player, I find nowhere to change where it looks for "find album information".

Any help changing where it looks? It would save me quite a bit of time to manual change the text on the laptop...…

(music is the same to listen - Rory Gallagher Blues, 3 CD set just released if you are interested….)
