My Music folder rearranges my music folders without my permission!

[Guest]

I have noticed this problem a couple of times now and caught it in the act
just recently. It takes certain music files that I have arranged by band and
puts them in a new folder labelled unknown artist. It seems to pick out songs
that I have downloaded by themselves without the other tracks on the CD but
it has also taken 5 songs from a CD I downloaded as a whole and hadn't given
me problems before. Its really annoying because I checked the properties and
they are all labelled properly. Any explanation would be helpful. Thanks!

Is the Album Artist field labelled? That's what WMP uses to classify
albums. See http://msmvps.com/blogs/thinice/articles/15229.aspx

Go to tools/options/library and uncheck "rearrange music...".
