If you right click over the part you want to edit you will see edit in the context menu. Hit that and it should open a box like above. But you need to be over the line you want to edit. |

| Windows Vista Basic | Re: Changing Music file Artist/Album names? Nope, all i get is "sort by" etc and properties...which goes down the same road as the 3rd pic. |

| Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (Bata) & Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Sp2 & Windows XP Professional x32 Sp3 | Re: Changing Music file Artist/Album names? That I really don't understand? What WMP version are you using? I have go through mine and cant find any setting that should stop you from changing tag info so I'm really stumped. You are doing this in media player right? |

| Windows Vista Basic | Re: Changing Music file Artist/Album names? Noo its just in a basic folder on the desktop, where i store my music. I use itunes and im fine editing tags in that, but it would be much easier if i could edit the info in the folders...it just seems a bit impossible :s |

Yea you cant do it from the folder you need to be using a tag editor like iTunes or Media Player. Sorry I could not tell form your pics at first that this was what you were trying to do. There are several free tag editors out there that can make doing that a lot easer. Give me a min and Ill shoot you a link for the one I use. |
