How does WMP identify songs and albums?





One of my buddies little sister put out an album even, and it can identify everything but the album art.

 

CDDB-style look-up? Album art is probably missing because the label (or whoever submitted the album to whoever WMP uses for lookups) never submitted the cover art.

 

wmp has a sword that gives it +8 to all knowingness.

 

It is the work of Satan.

 

When you install wmp there is an option to automatically look up album data via cddb, or similar service, if you check ok then it does it automatically, if not u can right click and look it up.



If you get a brand new album then it may not find it.

 

I thought there was a little dood in my computer that reads the top of the disc?

 

The only disc so far that has totally fooled it is from one of my colleagues in Germany, he plays in a band that covers 50's American rock. They do a pretty good Elvis.





It's also not doing so good on the album art from a lot of my smaller name Canadian artist discs. Colin James' Greatest Hits kinda surprised me. I take it he wasn't too popular down there?

 

Colin who?

 

A german Elvis empersonator....



I can die a happy ginger now!
