Info input after export

I have successfully recorded split and exported a 1972 vinyl of Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange". After exporting I properly labeled tracks, song title, artist, album name and the rating I give the indiviual songs. The project was recorded on Audacity as one track the split as directed in Wiki.
The problem is with track 9 (Song 3, side 2, Timesteps (Excerpt). I can not edit ANY of the information for that song. I have gone back to Audacity and cut track 9 out indiviually and exported it, I have re-recorded track 9 individually directly off the record and I have moved track 9 into iTunes where I was able to input the information however, when I transferred track 9 back to Windows Media Player (Vista) all the information was lost. This is my first time working with Auacity (1.2.6?) and I am trilled to the point of needing to increase my meds; especially after working with a different "recording software" that came with the new turntable.
I still have 400+ LP's to goand I'd like to figure this minor glich out. Any suggestions? Please advise. Thank you for your time. Respectfully, pox

You can get single sound file insanity by having punctuation marks or other "illegal" characters in the filename.

"Trumpeter's Revenge.wav" is an illegal filename in many, but not all operating systems (the apostrophe).

Upper and Lower Case Letters, Numbers, Dash, and Underline. That's it. I tend not to use spaces, either because some UNIX tools have trouble with them.

Did I hit it?

No, kozikowski, but thanks for trying. Several of the other titles off the same album have commas and/or parantheses. The Problem is that I can't edit any information for this one song...track #, artist, album or release date. Was there "Media Rights" imbedded on records in 1972? Far fetched because I know I had it (the same song) on both reel to reel and cassette, all off this same LP. I DO thank you for your time. This is my first time in this forum and you are the first person to ever answer to ANY forum I've gone to, Microsoft, Dell, blah-blah-blah. THANKS AGAIN. (and I'm not shouting)

I must be going crazy. I thought that maybe I'd incorrectly exported or had an incorrect setting or something so I deleted all previous work and files and started over. Now none of my media info can be edited. It exports as tracks but I can not add or edit any media info which means the most I can hope to accomplish is to have one huge file with only song titles as a Windows Media Player file format. Please help. Thanks. pox
