At some point I said Windows Media Player sucks.

I should have stuck with that assessment.

By default it moves album covers around, changes track titles, and moves them to other albums, sometimes by other artists.
Editing this info is an inconsistent mess. Sometimes you left click, sometimes you right click, sometimes you have to change to another view and back again to see it updated, sometimes you need to exit and restart.
Can you remove album art? No, why would you want to do that? If you update the album info, it might change the art, or it might not. If you change the art yourself, make sure you keep the image so you can change it again tomorrow.

I downloaded a free track with full data from Amazon or Google Play, not sure which. Not a great song, but that doesn't matter. Dead Air by Blondie. WMP went through the library as it does, saw it, and decided it was a song by Heatmiser.

I found my old .mp3 collection and moved that over. It decided Nirvana's With the Lights Out, a 3(+) disc set, was also several different albums with just one song, and then set about renaming the tracks it couldn't move so that they would fit better.

Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick is, in mp3 form, over four hours long according to it. That's all it gets wrong there, and it isn't something that can be fixed from within the app.

There's a song on here from a movie. I don't have the whole soundtrack, but WMP thinks it should have cover art from Simon and Garfunkel.

I've apparently got something called Amy by Absu. Or maybe it's one of the tracks missing from a Bob Marley collection, I won't know until I listen to 670 hours of music while watching the information it presents.
