To the dude with the screenshot of Dr. Dre's Album appearing four times:

Take a closer look, on the tracks on the second and fourth album, there is an entry on the composer section. My guess is to clear those entries and your probs should be solved.

That's correct, if you right click on a track and then goto Advanced Tag something (can't remember exactly), and you will see that the songs that are seperated either have something like "Composer" - some songs have it filled in, others don't. And on mine, I had some where the "Album Artist" was filled in, but some others weren't and this was causing them to seperate.

^ To those with split albums, what you have to do is make sure that the Album Artist field in the advanced tag editor is the same for each and every song in the album. The Artist filed can be different, but the album artist has to be the same. Changing the Composer field doesn't make a difference in most cases.

Once you finish editing, go to a different part of the Library, and then click the Back button. Your album will now appear whole.

To quickly fix album artist problems you should use the Album Art Fixer program. It will detect all the albums that don't have the album artist filled in and fix it for you. It also helps find cover art too, hence the name. You can also find this on wmplugins.com. The official plugin site may not have alot of useful plugins, but they do have a few that I think are necessary to have better music support.

In WMP 10, my library use to be arranged according to artist, and I could go from A to W by just pressing the key. In WMP 11, this works in the Artist mode of the library. How do I get this to work in the Recently Added mode, if it can be done?

One thing that stops me from migrating to WMP11 is that I cannot sort my albums according to disk. Until it does, I'm sticking with iTunes as WMP11 still needs to restructure its library arrangement that is similar to Windows and iTunes.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Abercrombe · Posted

      Call me when you can say, "Find all duplicate rows with duplicate email addresses and move the duplicate rows to a new sheet", and Copilot can execute that and not give you VBScript to write to do it. If anyone thinks AI isn't in its infancy and the bubble is about to burst, try to do anything meaningful in Excel with Copilot and you will realize AI hasn't even made it to kindergarten in most use cases yet.
    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      By Neeo · Posted

      I have installed all their components from store.rg-adguard.net. I encountered an unusual issue with Microsoft Edge that I installed manually. When I disable “Shadows under windows” in the Windows performance settings, the menus in Edge display sharp corners instead of rounded ones. I don't think the problem is related to a debloated version of Windows, as I experienced the same issue on a standard Windows machine in the past.

      "AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said." Hey idiot. It's called these stupid companies spending too much on your AI ###### and having to layoff employees to cover the cost.
