Default Now Playing not updating

I put in a new cd and the player says unknown. I tell it to get cd info. It
gets the correct info(Brad Paisley, Time well wasted). I click finish, then
it goes right back to saying unknown. I did this from now playing and tried
going to rip tab and doing it. Same result, gets correct info but doesn't
update it. I don't want to rip to my collection then have to go through and
correct all the info in library.

What version of the player are you using?

may help - resetting the library may help track data get written again. If
not, you probably either have a full IE cache or a permisions problem on the
player data directories.

Can a second user account on the system update the Now Playing info?
