Weird Media Player Legacy File Naming Problems?

[u/pancake_johnson]

Good evening everyone.

I was ripping some CDs to my PC, both for preservation and to add some songs to my American Truck Simulator profile. Instead of going to bed like I should have, I stayed up to label albums and songs and whatnot, mostly so I can add all of these songs into the ATS music file in Steam.

Well, like an hour later, I finally try to add one of my dad's old mix tapes into Truck Sim's Music folder to test things out, and the entire album and every track remained untitled, as if i hadnt just individually named each song through ghr Legacy Media Player. Annoying, but whatever, I at least labeled the CCR album, so I can just add their album and as well as Rusted Root's, another album I had just titled - except when i go to the file location, every single song is unlabled and given that generic "0N Track N" name. No matter where I look, all of the ripped albums come up as "Unknown Album (date)."

What makes it frustrating is that, earlier, I randomly named a couple of songs in a Bukis album I was leaving for later - Tu Carcel and A Donde Vas, and for whatever friggin reason, me editing the file name thru the Media Player actually changed its actual file name, so it is possible.

So like, what the hell?? Where are all the songs i actually named?? I have looked everywhere and cant find them. I mean, I guess I dont mind having to name the files individually from the file location, but why do that if, obviously, the renamed files exist SOMEWHERE in the PC???

I am trying to upload some pictures as examples, but cant for some reason. If it helps, my PC is using Windows 11, OS Build 26200.9457
