How can I get rid of the Unknown Artist MP3 folder?

[Louu]

I don't know if you guys ever have this problem, but when I download MP3 (indie music!) or have cds ripped and the computer can't find the info, usually on Windows Media Player, all the music is moved into different folders automatically. I like having all my music folders categorized by the artist in My Music folder. Sometimes new folders are created or a moved to the Unknown Artist folder. Anyone know how can I stop this?

sonicstage almost always finds the info to it. And you can even customize it to were when it finds the info it will rename the tracks display name (the name that shows up in windows explorer). It also organizes music on your psp!it great, so heres a link:

Solution: don't use Windows Media Player.

I name all the songs and put them all in a folder with the artist name and the name of the album, but when I move them to My Music folder they always get arranged to different folders, some to an automatic folder named Unknown Artist.

I use SonicStage for transferring to my PSP, and I do use the info command, sometimes it finds it, sometimes not. The music sometimes is really obscure.

I like Windows Media because I like how it works and how it converts to a mini player on the start bar.

Even if I don't use Windows Media, the songs get switch around once I place them into the My Music folder.
