Rename wmpa unknown arists

[Helcha]

I made a Cd from a tape I had of my sons High school
singing group with the name Greenwood Singers
When I install it in the F Drive on WMPA the artists name
comes as Uknown Artist. How can I rename it Greenwood
Singers?

Hi Helcha -

You cannot change the value in the artist name field once you've burned the
music file to a CD. The only way to do this is to copy the tape to your
hard disk. Then, in Windows Explorer, right-click on the file and click on
Properties from the drop-down menu.

On the Properties sheet which comes up, click on the Summary tab at the top.
Click on the Advanced>> button.

You'll see two columns, one with a list of attributes about the file and
another with the heading "Value" with nothing underneath. Locate the Artist
in the left column and move your mouse to the right of this field and click
under the Value column in the blank space. A box will open where you can
type "Greenwood Singers". Press Enter to exit the field. Fill in any
additional fields you wish using the same approach. When finished, click on
Apply then OK.

Finally, you can burn the resulting music files to another CD.

Hope this explains it thoroughly enough for you. Good luck.

Jef
