No thanks to Microsoft. I had to figure this out on my own. This is what I
did:

Open Windows Media Player, open the "library tab" and delete the files from
the "all music" section. Make sure you select to clear from library only NOT
from library AND My Computer. This should clear away the unkown album
folders. If you re-add your music to the windows media player library, it
should also add to windows media center. I don't seems to be have any
problems yet.
