I have ripped songs from various albums to a Folder under
Documents/Music/?Classical/filename. They have alll gone into that file and
I have deleted the album and artist folder. All songs are there as a regular
album. The problem I am having is when I go to Windows Media Player the
first song is under the file name. The rest are singlar albums with the
created blue square. I do have another created album with all songs on one,
but cannot find a way to may all go to the one with the filename. Help!

From a command prompt, using the right paths to the files, :

copy file1.wma + file2.wma + file3.wma new_all_together.wma

Wouldn't that cause file corruption?

You will have to try it to know that. It certainly wouldn't hurt the
originals. (as long as the last argument is not preceded by a plus sign, it
is a new 'result' file.)

Right, my question was somewhat rhetorical because playing the resultant
file would fail pretty miserably. Try it. =)

If you're trying to do "joins" on any multimedia file type, you really need
to use the appropriate tools. "copy" is not a particularly valid choice. =)

That sounds like the metadata settings are incorrect for those songs... ?

What file types are these?
Have you verified in Advanced Tag Editor that the metadata for those songs
are correct?
