Vista - Indexing music manually

The indexing of music in WMC is an automated process. Is there any way of
re-indexing entries manually once they are in WMC? Where is the index held
in Windows Explorer? I am able to do this in programs such as iTunes, but
can find no way in WMC.

Help would be much appreciated.

Define "indexing of music". I am not familiar with what you're trying to do
here.

Dale - thanks for getting back to me.

By indexing I mean the song titles and artist details. It is possible there
may be errors in the information held by WMC or you might wish to change some
of the information. This is possible in iTunes, but I cannot see how this is
done in WMC. One way would be to find the indexing source itself, possible
held somewhere on the C drive, but I cannot track this down.

Does that clarify my issue?

If the information on a track or an album is incorrect, you can right-click
on the item (album or track) and choose Update Album Info. That will cause
WMP to go back to the Microsoft/AMG online CD database and try to identify
your tracks. If you still cannot find the correct information, simply edit
what it finds or what is in your library. You can use Advanced Tag Editor
for that. In the Library view (and not in a playlist), right-click the
track that is in error and choose Advanced Tag Editor.
