Default WMP Stopped Organizing Music Files

When I would download music, if the appropriate TAG info was available, WMP
would physically move that music file into the artist and album folder in My
Music. Now for some reason it is not doing this anymore. The music files have
all the tag info downloaded by WMP from the internet, but the music files are
remaining in the My Music root folder. Any ideas?

Is this a second time through, as regards renaming/moving the files?

Thanks but after hours of not sleeping lastnight i figured out the issue. I
had to navigate to %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Media Player and delete the database and then search for new
files in My Music to recreate the database. After this, I added new songs in
WMP library and WMP automatically downloaded the correct tag info and moved
them into the appropriate folder.
