Hi guys, I need help with Windows Media Player 11.

Just some information, I have the most recent updates of WMP 11 and I am
using Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, Service Pack 1.

Problem:
I want to edit the media information from Library, but whenever I
right-click on a song, the Edit command is being greyed out.

I tried right-clicking on every song I have, it is all being greyed out and
I have no idea why.

Not only that, the Advanced Tag Editor command is missing, it is not shown
when I right-click on those songs I have.

I didn't had any problem with this when I was still using XP though...

Can any experts out there solve my problem?

Thanks in advance!

Might be a problem with the access rights.
Go to the folder where your music is located and check if you have full
control

Hi Vincent,

My folders are all marked as Read-Only. I can't seem to uncheck the option
though. Whenever I unchecked, it will automatically check it again when I
click on Properties again. But my MP3 files are not marked.

I guess I should have full control of the files since I transferred them
from my other PC which is running in Windows XP. And I have no problem
editing them there, be it using the Edit command or Advanced Tag Editor. But
everything is different when it comes to Windows Vista.

Not only that, when I go to Tools, Options, the tab to select the File Types
is not there too. Is it not available in Vista or is it only me?

Also, the Rate command is being greyed out (I can't rate the songs too!) But
this is not bothering me as much as unable to edit.

My library media information is in a mess now. Ahhh!


Any other ways to solve the problem?

File Types indeed isn't available on Vista, but the same can be achieved
by using Set Program Access and Defaults in the Control Panel.
