  Hello

  ·         You have media files stored on multiple sites?

  Here's what you can try:

  Step 1:

  (a) start Windows Media Player.

  (b) press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to the library of the find computers dialog box.

  (c) click the Browse button to locate the file on your computer so that your library contains invalid entries. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

  If you are not sure what duplicate in your library entry is not valid, you can add a path column to display your library by following the instructions in the last question. Specify the folder on your computer that matches the path invalid file displayed in your library.

  (d) click on the search button.

  If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by double-clicking the invalid entry and then clicking on delete.

  If you have a large number of entries in doubles in your library (or if your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library

  Step 2:

  Here's how you can create the media library:

  (a) close Windows Media Player.

  (b) locate the database on the computer that contains the entries of your library. In general, the library database file (CurrentDatabase_219.wmdb) is located in the following directory:

  directories SystemDrive\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player

  (c) right click on the file and then click Rename.

  (d) rename the file by changing its file .bak extension.

  (e) start the player. When you do so, a new database of library file is created.

  (f) press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to the library of the find computers dialog box.

  (g) click the Browse button to search for a folder on your computer that contains digital media files. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

  (h) click on the search button.

  The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder you specify and add to your library. If you have your files and playlists stored in different folders on your computer, you may need to search for files several times, by specifying a different folder every time.

  Step 3:

  Avoid the music automatically added to avoid duplicate music files. To prevent music files to be automatically added to your library:

  (a) in the Player Windows Media, on the Tools menu, click Options.

  (b) on the Player tab, clear the files of music to add to the library when played check box.

  Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.

• multiple copies of each song in the playlist on Windows media player

  OK here is the problem Windows media player started acting up six months ago in taking my music and doubling and tripling, so next time I opened the player instead of having a song should be 2 to 3 to 4 copies of the same song wasn't a single album it was different albums all new songs of my old songs I had before on another computer has not copied over.

  It was the first problem, the second problem which began about three months ago, I started noticing the programs that I installed on the computer telling me that I had a visual experience better if I update Windows media player, not a program but several when I checked the version it has been updated.

  So why if it's updated all programs says visual experience would be better if I updated the player?  so I go into troubleshooting utility to see what could be wrong.  When is the troubleshooting he wants to restore default I very well it but it never gets done and the problem does not get resolved?  Convenience store also happens with configuration parameters are defined bad convenience store as soon as the defect does not solve the problem if any body knows how to solve this problem Windows player plays correctly, but it is very tiring having to remove 300 songs because they have doubled and tripled.  My operating system is Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit Windows media player as I can tell is number 11 and a updated version of programs that are installed on my computer tell me to update? I have other programs that do also video just need to know why Windows media player is not compatible or apparently not compatible with other programs? no response would be good any help would be nice.

  Help, help, help, help, please.

  Hi Ken

  I see that you have not been offered help with this yet, so we'll see if we can get something going on!

  Firstly if you have Windows 7 you must run WMP 12. You run automatic updates from MS?

  In any case I want you to try is - go to "User accounts" in the control panel and together an account "number two". When this is done to insert a cd and Media Player will open and ask you to use the default settings or customize it. I had to go for custom parameters and in the quality of at192mbps "rip music" tab select mp3 or more (you can get a box pop up asking you to accept copyright laws - accept and continue)...

  When he's ready, rip the cd and we'll see if this second account behaves or if you get the same problem of duplication. Looking forward to the result!

  Best - R

• Burn a CD with Windows Media Player

  I tried to burn a cd with windows media player.  I think that it is version 11.   I put the songs I want to burn on the right side where it says to put them.  I use a cd cd - r Phillips.  He'll burn 3 or 4 songs, and then eject the disc.  I tried several times and it does every time.  Any advice on how to burn the entire list of songs.  There are 15 I wanted to put it on disk.  And it's an 80-minute drive, so there is a lot of time on them.  I lost a few disk already so any advice would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Rita

  you have to 'turn off' the ' auto eject and auto burn / rip "feature for your cd device.

  in this way the cd will stay "unburn" and can accept more files.  later, when you have copied all the files on the cd, then you can manually run a ' burn / rip.

  try to go to the menu bar of media player file.  then, under Tools > options there should be a tab to customize the "rip" where you can change the ejection and extraction methods.

  regarding as to why you seem to only be able to copy multiple files at the same time, it is probably due to low resources on your system.  Maybe you are low on memory or disk space when you use the media player.

  so, you could try to just use the Explorer to transfer files on the cd.

  You can open the Explorer and then find the folder that contains your music / song files.   then as with any file, you can drag and drop them on the cd or use other methods that you want to copy files from one place to the other.

  also, most computer come with specialized software that is designed for your device to computer and cd model.  This software will be has features to copy files to the cd, and will also have the necessary controls to fine-tune the device cd and windows to play and the extraction of files.

  Finally, it has been my experience that about five years of cd home-made, even if you buy the best cd for recording as those made with layers of gold and those with false promises that they last forever...

  Unlike the cd music that we buy at the store, the method that we have with the computer is not industrial strength and something happens to the layers inside the House made conference that degrade over time.  I have studied this issue carefully and I just to let you know about the phenomena.  (I almost lost some one of a kind songs where the group no longer exists or their albums.  I actually have the only copies of these songs in particular in the world)

  in any case, certainly keep copies of your music on the hard disk. You can also store copies of your music on the site of skydrive from microsoft for free.

• Several same tracks on Windows Media Player

  Can someone help me?  I have problems with windows media player and it showing multiple tracks of the same track.

  Hello MunkienFlipper,

  Thank you for posting.  This would happen if the location of the file has been changed or if you have multiple copies of the same piece.  This can be corrected by deleting one of the files.  Before doing so, I suggest that you try to read each of the duplicates to see if it will play and then remove registration which do not play.  If two or more in fact play, you can just delete the ones you don't want.

  Please let me know if this helps you.

• Windows media player vs. itunes question

  my family has products that are generic mp3 players (sony products) using windows media player and apple (iphone and ipad) products that need to use iTunes.

  what I really have two different copies of my music on my PC libraries to manage two types of devices?

  the player windows media allow for iPhone or iPad instead of iTunes?

  can you tell me any documentation or article which discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the two and provides recommendations on how to support the two players on the same PC?

  given a choice - if we are really to have two copies of the files - which I think we do but am not 100% sure - while would you - load Windows Media Player first and then import them into iTunes, or vice versa?

  I tried both, but it seems to mess up the representation of the library and search for music files.

  Is it possible to do so and have reasonable library for both products organisation?

  I should potentially rip my cd of in the two products separately, rather than do an import of the library from one to the other?

  any help or suggestion concerning best practices would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Barbara

  As long as you follow the MP3 format, there is no need to do a conversion. Both WMP and iTunes should be able to manage libraries of music very well, and you can point them both to the same places (no need to maintain two separate copies).

  As an alternative to iTunes, you can also use Winamp iPod support. To import the WMP library in Winamp (and keep it synchronized), you can use Windows Media Player Import plugin.

• Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

• Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD.

  Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings.

  Original title: Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings.

  I was troubleshooting video playback issues throughout the morning after the reconstruction of a machine with a fresh install of W7 Ultimate, shot a few questions there.

  The first and foremost reason I couldn't play THE VIDEOS was due to the ATI Rage video card that was in the machine, proved that this card was not compatible for playback of DVD video on W7.  No problem with the system of video files (.avi, .mpg, .mp4, etc.), only reading DVD.  Disabling this card and media player running with a standard VGA device allowed me to play regular DVD movies very well.

  Another question, I stumbled on was with burned copies of the DVD, it turned out that my system DVD players, (2, one is a HP630E and the other is a typical ATAPI DVD DD internal 8 x 16), have a problem with playing movies engraved on DVD - RW discs.  Playing discs DVD-R worked well on this system.

  So in your case I try to disable the video device and let the system first use a VGA Standard, if your video plays well then check with the making of video for a updated driver device, saying "you have made any changes" does not mean that the system did not have a bad patch somewhere...
