Der #WindowsMediaPlayer kann #CD-Alben nicht mehr automatisch mit passenden Informationen versehen. Den Server gibt es nicht mehr.

Song- und Albumtitel denkt sich künftig einfach die KI aus 🤗 😜

Unlike the direction that Microsoft is heading, the KDE Dolphin file manager will instantly recognize music cds, and pull relevant track tags from the MusicBrainz database. Music can be encoded in a multitude of formats, simply by drag and drop.

Has anyone else found that Windows Media Player is no longer finding album information when loading CDs?

It looks like this change may be intentional. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else has run into the same issue.

I mainly use it for ripping to FLAC. There are other options available but MP was one click. #WindowsMediaPlayer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5690345/all-new-cds-i-try-to-rip-show-up-as-unkown
