mp3 tag changing problem still inWMP11?   

Is there any way to get WMP11 to not change the tags when it plays my mp3
files?

I understand from searching this group that there was no solution for this
in WMP 9 and 10, but couldn't find anything about 11.

You should be able to make all the files read-only. Find one which is
affected, right click it, and choose "Read Only" checkbox, then test
it to see if its tags are stil updated.

You can do this recursively across directories by selecting the top
level directory and applying the same step.

Thanks, Neil. I'd already done that, but you've told me what I really wanted 
to know, which is that this version is just as lame as the earlier versions.
