To your library, or the database they pull from for the track info and cover art information?

Their database. We recently had a concert and are going to be distributing CDs, so it would be nice if Windows Media Player would automatically load the information for us. Winamp uses GraceNote, and they let you add submissions, but I can't find anything about WMP.

In Media Player, go to Help.

Select the Contents tab.
Using the Player > Using CDs, DVDs, and VCDs > Using CDs > Viewing information about a CD > To update information about a CD in the WindowsMedia.com database

Follow the instructions. :)

Applies to Media Player 10
