I'm copying home made discs through Windows Media and
converting files to MP3 or WMA. These are old radio
concerts I recorded, not store bought cd's. When the
discs get copied to my system, they get copied as UNKNOWN
NAME and UNKNOWN ARTISTS. I can rename the cd's through
the Windows Media Library, and I can also rename my
folders. But, when copying the files back to a disc,
they get copied again as UNKNOWN NAME and UNKNOWN
ARTISTS. Now, when I use Creative Soundlab on my other
computers, I can name the disc BEFORE it gets copied.
This means that the disc gets recognized as the name and
title that I gave BEFORE it gets copied. How can I do
this through Windows Media? At this point I have a
compilation of MP3 files as UNKNOWN NAME and UNKNOWN
ARTISTS. I would like to know what I'm listening to!
Any help anyone can provide would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

Use CDex, a free CD ripper. It should not give you any problems.
http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/

If you want an excellent media player (and a damn fine ripper as well), try
Quintessential Player. http://www.quinnware.com/

Both are FREE.
