When I click on an album and then click play, something completely different plays. However if I open the album so all songs are displayed and then click play the album will play normally.

This is a bug in that it doesn't work in the way it is expected by the user or the way many other programs work.

on mine, under Library > Music
it says:
Artitst: 15
Albums : (no albums)
Songs: 188
Genres: (no genres)

I copied onto my SD card a bunch of folders from my PC that had been ripped using WMP. Is this an issue with it not recognizing albums from Windows media Player?

Tabster - what are the ID3 tags for the tracks you copied?

the files are .wma files. maybe albums are not supported in the Media player? The artist part and song title seems to work.
Do most people use MP3 files?

Update:
I deleted all the wma files from my device, converted 3 albums to mp3 format and copied them to my SD card.
Guess what! It now recognizes Artist, Album, Genre

Sorry, my bad - ID3 is for mp3's!

I don't use WMA format, I assume they have the equivalent of ID3 tags - were the Album and Genre tags populated in your WMA files? If they were, it's most likely a bug/limitation of the Media Player app which isn't reading WMA tags correctly - you should file a bug.

Yep. It is either a bug or a limitation. For now though I am just going to use mp3s

confrimed. wma files read the track name and artist, but fail on album with the internal media player.
