Problem with WMP 11

[thealmightyone]

Just installed WMP11, and have a rather irritaing problem. A picture explains this better than words.



Any idea why its splitting up like this? Each 'section' has the same album art, the album title/year etc are all the same, i've restarted also. This isn't the only album on my system that comes up as this.

Get rid of it! Go back to WMP 10. WMP 11 is strictly a beta in development and not a finished version ready for general use. That and IE 7.0 beta can cause some headaches at this time. The two are not ready yet. Uninstall the beta version and download a fresh copy of WMP 10 to see better results there. The betas are presented for tryout and suggestions not for the average user. They still have glitches in them to be worked out.

It is not exactly a glitch. The problem is that the detailed info is different, you need to go into the advanced info editor and change the smaller details to get them to be in the same group.

Agreed. Back to 10. Even when every single box in the Advanced Tag Editor are the same, apart from the title and track number, it stays split up. I do hope they sort all the bugs out soon, cos it looks so nice.

I got off guard when initially trying it out here. Don't even try IE 7 at this time. Although it automatically sets up all of your favorites on the spot it is wide open to the "about blank" problem where when you go to close a Windows not Internet Explorer window a blank web page comes up of nowhere. A wipe of the drive and reinstallation of Windows it what it took to get rid of that annoyance! Lately the MS betas are full of bugs unfortunately.
