Default Re: Why does Title changes when I start playing an MP3?


There's a performance hit to opening a file and inspecting the metadata, and
WMP doesn't do that unless it has to. So you get the "boring" track name
until you take the performance hit and open the file. One solution is to
use Rename & Rearrange in WMP's Tools:Options to set the file names to their
metadata-based names...
