Thread Name: Tech: CD id in Windows Media Player 7
Subject: RE: TECH: CD id in Windows Media Player 7
My impression, from limited experience, is that Windows Media Player will display whatever is "burned" to the the disk as the "volume label."

When setting up to record a CD, it's fairly easy to "forget" to punch in the label; or, if you're rearranging things, to leave an "old" entry when you're adding or moving things around. It sounds like whoever set up the disk simply put the wrong name on it.

Many, if not all(?) CD burners will offer to connect to an appropriate website to "register" the act of copying from commercial CDs, but there should be no need to hook up just to play them on your PC - or to display the label (although a few commercial artists have used code on their CDs to "prevent" playing them on a "computer" CD drive?)
