music set up (1 Viewer)

[oldgit9]

hi all.
im a bit of a noob when it comes to this. ive been using MP for the last few months....mainly to view downloaded TV and Films. but i would like to use MP to its full capabilities as it is intended. im awaiting a delivery of a new TV card (BGT3620) today and the only things i will have left to configure is my music and the radio.

in MP config, i have instructed MP to locate my music database on one of my HDD's. MP finds the music with no issues. the issue i have, is when i go to play an album, all of the albums are acutely the song artist and not the album that the song is in.

so basically, how do i set up MP to view the albums correctly?

all of my music have been been tagged in the past. unfortunately not by me. i had a mate of mine to convert all of my 400+ cd's to .mp3 for me when i was working away. but my mate did not follow the same naming format throughout the cd's. is there a program out there, that i can download to convert these .mp3's tags to the correct format?

sorry for the late reply. been working away from home win no internet coverage

thanks for the links. i will certainly got it a go. i have tried a few other programs in the past and they wouldnt do what i wanted. so i gave up on them...but if MP havd made this converter, i will try an bit harder to get it to work.
