Changing Music file Artist/Album names?

[LoneSock]

Ive sorted all my music into folders, but some don't have artist/album names, such as:

i've right clicked and clicked rename, but it comes up as:

i've also clicked properties etc, but no joy there:

has anyone any idea how to do this?
im on Windows Vista Basic.
and its just your average folder.
its really bugging me!

Have you tried clicking the empty space inline with the track under Artist/Album etc.

Like So

Yeah tried that, it does the same thing as the second pic :/

If you right click over the part you want to edit you will see edit in the context menu.
Hit that and it should open a box like above. But you need to be over the line you want to edit.

Nope, all i get is "sort by" etc
and properties...which goes down the same road as the 3rd pic.

That I really don't understand? What WMP version are you using?
I have go through mine and cant find any setting that should stop you from changing tag info so I'm really stumped.

You are doing this in media player right?

Noo its just in a basic folder on the desktop, where i store my music.
I use itunes and im fine editing tags in that, but it would be much easier if i could edit the info in the folders...it just seems a bit impossible :s

Yea you cant do it from the folder you need to be using a tag editor like iTunes or Media Player.
Sorry I could not tell form your pics at first that this was what you were trying to do.
There are several free tag editors out there that can make doing that a lot easer.
Give me a min and Ill shoot you a link for the one I use.
