windows media player 9 doesn't download multimedia info

Hi

i'm a foobar user
but today i run winodws media player to play some mp3 that i ripped
i ripped a  famous CURE's lp

during the playing , i saw that wmd did not donwload covers , so i clicked find album info
nothing!   


so i loaded other mp3 (cd ) , wmp did not show covers and everytime i click on find album info it did find nothing! why?

i think it's updated! should i update to 10 version?

i tried to disable the firewall, nothing not multimedia info!

If you use "Find" and it doesn't find any album info using your existing tag metadata, it allows you to search for it.  You mean you can't find the artist/album at all?  (WMP uses Allmusic/AMG for most of it's metadata.)

And yes, you might want to update to 10... 9 is long dead.

Hi
i found the problem

the problem is wmp uses the online store of my nation   

is there the tip to enable the others online store

Code: [Select]
My Player displays a limited number of online stores. Is there a way I can add more?
You can't add online stores to the Player. However, you can change the locale on your computer to a country or region that features more online stores, such as English (United States), by doing the following:

1.
 Close Windows Media Player 10.
 
2.
 Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
 
3.
 Double-click Regional and Language Options. (If you are using the Windows Category view instead, click Date, Time, Language, and Regional options, and then click Regional and Language Options.)
 
4.
 In the Regional and Language Options dialog box, click the Regional Options tab.
 
5.
 In the Standards and formats area, select English (United States) in the list.
 
6.
 Click the Apply button to apply the new settings.
 
7.
 Reopen the Player.

The online stores available in the United States should be displayed




maybe this could useful for others users
