windows media player doesn''t rekanize LotusFlow3r

Hey, i just got Lotusfow3r and stuck it in my computer. Windows media player thinks MplsSound is Lovesexy, and thinks LotusFlower is 1999.

In other words, when I stick MplsSound in the CD player, what pops up in Windows Media Player is the Lovesexy album cover, and all the tracks of Lovesexy. But what PLAYS are the correct tracks.

Ditto with LotusFlower and 1999.

What's up with this? Has anyone else had this problem? I bought the CD at Target.

thanks for any insights,
DR

Yep... it's messed up..

I was expecting them to have fixed the CD Tags by now, but for whatever reason, they never did....

Furthermore, When I originally downloaded the tracks from the web site, the software thought it was all sorts of weird stuff, I think one of them was a Sheryl Crow album...

I'm afraid you're stuck with manually editing the tag info yourself.

perhaps your whole problem stems from the fact that the word is recognize.
