Is there any way of disabling this annoying message? Looking under Tools/Options there seems no way of disabling "Check fo udates", assuming that this is the problem, anyway I've got it set to only once a month.
In WMP 8 when you look in tools, options, is there a tab marked Media library? If so have you got it set to update the music files by retrieving missing information from the internet? Will do a screeny to show you the tab in a minute.
