Some very helpful info here. Thanks everyone!
Maybe this has already been covered, but here goes: I'm running MC19 on a Windows 7 computer and ripping CDs in AIFF format to a 2TB WD NAS. Everything is fine on this install of MC: file properties assign properly (artist, album, etc.) and album art.
Where the problem lies is on my second PC, a laptop running Vista and MC18 (was running MC19 but kept encountering "not responding" issues). I've tried everything I can think of but can't get file properties to display correctly. If I do a search the recently ripped albums will show up as unassigned and display the complete path but no artist, album, track name or number info.
I'd appreciate any assistance the brain trust on this forum can provide to help me resolve the issue.
