Title: Windows 10 Groove Music Player
Post by: Quantos on December 14, 2017, 02:19:57 PM
I'm having some issues with a CD that I recently ripped, I've placed the song files in my music directory which is located at D:\Music\
The album is Touch by July Talk, it won't show up in the correct Artist in Groove.  It only shows up in Unknown.
The rip was to *.MP3 @ 320kbps so there's nothing unusual about it.  It's not an end of the world problem, but it is aggravating the *censored* out of me.

Any ideas on how to correct this?

<edit> It's Windows 10 Pro 64 bit w/Fall Creators Update </edit>

have you checked the metadata for those ripped songs?
in your d:\music\ folder go to where those songs live, right click one, go to the Details tab, check the Contributing Artist has July Talk in there.

I use a program called mp3tag myself when I have issues with MP3 metadata. It's useful because you can mass edit files as well.

Mark, yes I just checked that and in the details of the song properties it has July Talk listed as the artist.  I tried editing the properties of the song as well from Groove and this is the result


<edit> Thanks BC, I'm going to try that as well now </edit>

MP3TAG worked like a charm BC, it's strange that the artist is displayed properly in the file properties but it didn't show at all in MP3TAG - a little copy/paste and I'm good to go.

Thanks man
