Consider that you have WMP configured to automatically rip CDs when they are inserted.
1) You insert a CD
2) WMP starts ripping it, and also starts looking up the CD metadata online. During the lookup process the CD tracks are initially stored in an "Unknown Artist/Unknown Album" folder (with date/time stamp added).
3) The metadata lookup completes and the artist/album folders are renamed appropriately and the individual track files are renamed as well.
Note that during the initial processing, several tracks were ripped before album/artist information was available. While WMP renamed the folders/files correctly, it did not apply ID3 tag information to the track files that were ripped prior to the metadata being retrieved. If you examine the folder with a tag tool such as mp3tag, you see that the first two or three track files have no ID3 data, while later ones do.
How can I make WMP retrieve metadata again and apply it to the untagged tracks? I have already tried "Find Album Info" and "Update Album Info", neither of which makes any changes to the ID3 tags.
