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...

It would fully suffice me if I saw the file name because all my files are
all named "<Interpret> - <Album> - TitleNo>.mp3". In addition, I set album,
title, artist in the files.

How exactly do I make the player to show me either the filename or for
example the title?
And what did you mean by "WMP's Tools:Option"?

Oooooooooh. I get you know. It's reversed - their ID3 tags are screwy, the
filenames are right.

Set the tags for those files in WMP's Media Library. =)

Ok, thanks for that info.
But is it right, that I would have to edit each file manually?

Is there no way to just configure the display information, so that for
example the filename is displayed instead of the track name?

Yep, that'd be something to do per file... that original ripping program
should have done that, really. I'm stunned it didn't.

No, there's no such option that I'm aware of.
