• Why does the song information change from what is showing in Windows?

Searches come up empty.  Can't find any songs.It seems as though you might be misunderstanding the "Search" feature of the software.  It does not search the internet for music, it *only* searches your computer's hard drive(s).

If you'd like to download music, try Emusic.com,

You might also refine your search.  The song might have a different spelling.

Alternatively, if your songs are in WMA format, you need to make sure that they do not have Digital Rights Management (DRM) turned on.  Microsoft has an option in Windows Media Player that can prevent songs from being copied. If you downloaded the song from certain commercial music services like Napster or Walmart Music Downloads, it will have this copy protection and you won't be able to use it with our software. If you copied the song from a CD yourself, you can turn off the copy protection and copy the song again without it. To turn this feature off in Windows Media Player 9, select the "Tools" menu, then the "Copy Music" tab. Un-check the "Copy protect music" option and click "OK." After doing this, any tracks you copy with the Windows Media Player you should be able to load (you will need to re-copy the tracks that wouldn't load from the CDs again).

Why does the song information change from what is showing in Windows?When you load or add a song to MP3 CD Burner, the software reads the "tags" or song information.  In some cases, the "tags" are different than the actual filename.  For example, you could have a file called

stings-lost-paradise.mp3    located in "My Documents"

but the tag information might be the following:

Artist: Bush
Album: Untitled
Track Name: Stinky

If you got this file off the Internet, there is no guarantee that the tags will be correct, it depends on who did the 'tagging'.  Currently, Acoustica MP3 CD Burner uses the tags.

You can always fix the tags, though, by either right clicking on the song and selecting "Edit Tag Information..." or by selecting the song and dragging it into a folder.
