AlbumID Attribute
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The AlbumID attribute is a unique identifier for the album.

Remarks
This attribute is stored only in the library.
The unique identifier is a combination of the album title and the album artist name. In this attribute, the album title comes first. When you use the MediaCollection.getAttributeStringCollection method to get a StringCollection object using this attribute, the values are sorted by album title.
To determine whether you can change the value of this attribute, use the Media.isReadOnlyItem method.
