v4.03.1476 here. Windows 7 64bit.

I wanted to take a video to show this, but I don't know how to take a video and then post it. So instead I'm gonna post Step-by-Step pictures and show exactly what's happening, and point out what's wrong.

Step 1:
Select Location Node Folder containing songs from a single CD, currently in FLAC format. (See below of what's wrong with this picture). Notice these are the "Title" Names that appeared after I ripped these tracks from a CD and before I entered in the proper metadata information.


Step 2:
Select Location Node directly above (Note everything is fine in this view)


Step 3:
Go Back to Previous SI-5006 Node (Take Note that all "Title" Metadata is displaying as expected now)


Step 4:
Use Keyboard Short-cut keys <CNTL> + <A> to select all currently viewed Tracks. (Everything still ok here)


Step 5:
Goto track view area, Right Click and select pop up menu item "AUTO ORGANIZE FILES" (see below for all the things going wrong here)


Step 6: Click "Cancel" in Auto Organize Files pop up window since this is not displaying the expected results


Step 7: Go Back to Step#2, and continue to loop with the same results each time.

So, after experiencing this the 1st time, I closed out MM and restarted, and found the same results.

I then went to FILE>MAINTAIN LIBRARY>OPTIMIZE DATABASE(COMPLETE).
I'm still getting the same problem, even after having MM going through and optimizing the database.

Is there anyway I can get the Metadata to stay???? What the hell is going on here???

* I already went through and checked the file properties and they are NOT set to Read Only.

You seem to be in the My Computer node which doesn't use the Library, I suggest you use the Location node in a Collection (like Music or Entire Library).

This might be the fix for the problem: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=9187

You were right!!! By accident, I was working in the My Computer node. I went to the location node and now it's working as expected.

Thanks again Lowlander!!!

Some times it's the simple things that drive us crazy and a fresh pair of eyes is always helpful, to point out our mistakes. I could have swore I was working in the Location Node....as my steps I posted even indicated this.
