Probably you didn't disable "Scan track directories for album art".

I can retag songs one at a time but when I do it just retags all the songs in the directory to the new album art.

Re: RE post below
make sure you do not have that little check box in the corner of the album art panel set to set all selected songs to the same album art.
if your using a script then let us know so the author can help find the reason.

If that's the case you might need to upgrade to a newer version as in new versions that setting wouldn't cause this unless files are in the same folder and have the same album name.

Re: RE post below
No luck in fixing the problem. Is there a way to just reset media monkey so it starts over with the correct settings? I have now corupted windows media player and mp3 tag programs too. Under albums they all say the same name
Re: RE post below
If you gave all you're tracks the same album name resetting MediaMonkey won't help as it's been saved to the files. You might be able to use Tools > Auto-Tag from Filename to get correct Album names if the folder/filenames contain this information. Proceed with care and confirm in each step the desired results are going to be achieved: http://www.mediamonkey.com/sw/webhelp/f ... lename.htm

Re: RE post below
This method will take forever for I have thousands of songs. Since I have a backup for my music can't I just wipe all the music off my computer and wipe media monkey off and start over?
Re: RE post below
Restoring the backup should work, make sure you use File > Clear Library and then scan tracks in again.

Re: RE post below
I did it and it worked but the albums with all the same names which is "fine and mellow" are there too and they are all in bold print. There are thousands of them and I don't want to delete them one at a time.Lowlander wrote:Restoring the backup should work, make sure you use File > Clear Library and then scan tracks in again.
Re: RE post below
Did you remove the old songs you tagged with same album before restoring backup? Did you use Clear Library?

Re: RE post below
Hey, I fixed it. I found all the songs with one name in the now playing list and deleted them all. Now I think I can get them back from my original backup disk without the false name on them.
Re: RE post below
The Now Playing isn't the same as Library, so the tracks were not in the library anymore, just on the Now Playing.
