cd metadata

About this tag
The tag 'cd metadata' covers the recent removal of online CD metadata lookup in Windows Media Player and the Media Player app on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Users report that inserting an audio CD no longer auto-populates album titles, track names, artwork, composer credits, or genre, leaving discs labeled 'Unknown album.' The tag includes discussions of workarounds and alternative tools for tagging ripped albums manually or restoring automatic metadata retrieval. It is relevant for anyone who rips CDs on Windows and relies on automatic album information.
