Default Multiple discs/CDs for same boxset - skewed track names/numbers

I've searched and searched on this and can't seem to find the answer. The problem
pertains to WMP V7 or V10 (just upgraded).

I have 2 CDs for the same boxset. I load CD #1 into the WMP library. It contains 28
tracks (#1 - #28). When I put in the second CD (whether I CLOSE WMP and restart or not),
which has 29 (1 more) tracks, it shows tracks #1-#28 from the FIRST CD and now track #1 of
the SECOND CD shows as #29. IOW, the list shows 29 tracks for the 2nd CD (which there
are) but is showing remnants of the first CD. If I click on track #3, I DO get track #3
of the currently-inserted CD but obviously the name is wrong.

Surely, this is a bug. I've seen people allude to autoinsert or autoplay but that doesn't
seem to have anything to do with it. It simply seems that the WMP software doesn't start
track #1 with the track of the NEWEST CD for the box set.

Can anyone help on this issue?

JL

IIRC, it's the particular music service you're using. If you switch music
services, does that give you beter information?

Correct, AutoPlay/AutoInsert could not possibly be related to this.
