Windows 10: Folders and Albums

Can't seem to find anything when googling for this.

Creating albums using Windows Photos app from images that are in my Mega folder. Was wondering if I can just directly add folders or drag and drop images into the album as its a bit tedious sorting through the many images. One album I am currently in the process of making has got 626 images selected and im just getting into September 2019.... I have all the way till January 2017 to sort through...

Groove Shows Unknown Artist & Unknown Album


I solved it by doing the following! I'm not sure which step cracked the problem.

1. Set indexing to index the content of my music files by right clicking on the top level folder, setting the option and applying to all files and sub-folders
2. Rebuilt the index via the Control Panel Indexing options
3. Deleted the folders watched in Groove
4. Deleted the Groove database at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.ZuneMusic_<random>\LocalState\Database
5. Started Groove
6. Reassigned the folders to watch

All songs now appear with the right artist & album but some album art was missing in Groove and Media Player despite being displayed correctly in iTunes. I manually updated the missing album art in Media Player and Groove then synchronised to match the Media Player album art.

 

How to sort folders of music by Album Name


Album name will be blank if only the folders are showing in the list. The folders do not contain any tag info. Only the MP3 files have that info embedded in them. Track number, Artist, Album, etc will all be blank for folders in explorer.

 

How to sort folders of music by Album Name


To sort by Album name, you need Sort By > Album in the right click context menu. But it is not there.

Add it there.
Step 1: Right Click > Sort by > More ....

In the Choose Details dialog, check the album box, click OK.

Now Sort By > Album is rightly there.


Now, to add the Album column, you need to edit the music tags. I use MP3Tag in order to do this.
