It never fails, due to a typo or software snafu, some songs in your collection have incorrect information for the artist, album, genre, etc. This can make it difficult when you are trying to find that song you are looking for, setting up a playlist, or sharing music (not to mention that it doesn’t look right). You can edit the song data from within the Zune software by doing the following:
Open your Zune software and go to the music section under collection.
