In the last couple of days, Windows Media Player has been renaming the songs and albums on quite a few of my tracks which I have had on the PC for quite awhile - Does anyone know why? I guess it references some online database, but the problem is that I have now 40 or so songs with the same track name all by the Spice Girls - help please!!!!!

i had the same problem...it renamed a lot of my new songs from a CD i got (so i knew i had the right names in the first place) to some very disturbing names..to do with zombies..i got a bit freaked out, and thought it was my brother trying to scare me! lol
i had to rename them all manually, and they havent changed back. i guess it must be a virus though, like people are saying.

above the list there is now playing, right click in it and clear your play list then start sending the songs to the wmp one by one if it has the wrong title,edit and rename,if it happens again go back to the folder where you took the song right click on the folder and click on check with anti virus, if it still happens ,you may have to delete the song that is causing the problem, that is what i would do, its your song
