At least for the files that I have created, all of those unkowns are because I have saved everything as a .wav file. Most of those are live recordings off of tv and XM Radio. I'm just now getting to editing my LP collection (I spent the last couple years recording them into digital files) so now some of these issues related to creating a final product are coming up for me.  I haven't been using Roxio for too long either. Is there any other lossless format that will also handle the tags with complete information?  Otherwise I guess I will keep a master copy as a .wav and a playable copy as a .wma.

I have to learn how to get the album art work to show up, too.

thanks, again.

No they aren't!  They are unknown albums because you say "Most of those are live recordings off of tv and XM Radio" How could they be identified as a album when they are a hog podge you admit you put together.

Wav or mp3 makes no difference. Mine show up identified as a album because they are legitimate albums.

Do you understand that?

thanks, I do understand that.  But if I put a collection of songs together from a on-hour broadcast of Willie Nelson and tag it as an album, it doesn't show up as an album if I export them as .wav.  They just get added to my ever growing list of "unknowns."  However, if I export the same collection, with the same tags, as .wma files, they show up in WMP as an "album" with all the information I have put in the tags.  I'm not talking aboout simply ripping prerecorded cds.
