Try File > Clear Library and then scan the file in again using File > Add/Rescan Files.

PS. Playlists will be lost as well in this process.

actually I was right-clicking the file itself outside of media monkey. Right clicking the file and clicking properties in media monkey brings up the wrong artist/track information. I switched from directsound output to waveout output and it's still displaying (and scrobbling in last.fm) the wrong information.

Does it still happen if you switch output plugin under Tools > Options > Output Plug-ins?

Just to confirm, were you right clicking to see Properties in MediaMonkey itself?

Totally random. The displayed song/artist names aren't even in the now playing queue

What version of MediaMonkey? Are you saying it just shows wrong in the Player and not in the Library? Is it showing info from the previously played song or a random song?

About 1 in ten of my mp3 files the tags are showing up in now playing as the wrong artist/track. The files metadata are showing up fine in Vlc and Itunes, and right clicking on them and looking at the properties everything looks correct. Has anyone else experienced this in 3.2.4? Is there a fix? Corrupt database?
