• Cannot delete files from Windows Media Player library.

  Original title: deleting files problem

  I deleted a large number of music of my WMP library & computer files, but they are still listed in WMP. I can't play any of them as they were deleted, and I get a message telling me so when I try! Why are they still displayed in the list and how do I get rid of them? I tried to restart, changing the target folder, etc., without change. I even tried to remove all of the library (but not the computer this time) and they do not always go!

  Hi Jamie,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

  According to the description provided, looks like you are not able to completely remove the files in Windows Media Player.

  I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.

  You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it clears the titles and generic icons.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  Method 1:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in the start search box and enter.

  3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 2:

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the start search box and enter.

  3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

• Transfer a file from Windows Media Player library to iTunes library

  I recently downloaded 5 songs mp3 that I paid for, expecting to go on my iTunes account after the opening of each of them. They went into the Windows Media Player on my computer instead.

  The following article will help to find the music on your computer.

• Can I disable adding automatic file from Windows Media Player?

  OK, first OFF... it's very annoying!

  1. I don't want all of the files on my hard drive in my WMP library.
  2. everytime I open WMP it diverts resources and my computer and add files, I don't want in my list of the library and it does every time.
  3. I love the advanced tag editing feature, but I'm about to abandon this program if I can't it settle down and change his behavior without having to resort to hacking my own registry techno.

  Is there a simple way to disable the auto add file function so that I can add only files that I want to manually.
  If it isn't... I'm done.

  On my version of WMP, I can go to:
  Tools-> Options-> Library (tab)-> button "monitor records.
  Then a "Add to library" window opens with a list of the folders that are searched for multimedia files.  Just select each row and then click the ignore"" button.

  Any ideas how I get rid of these old entries. I hope I don't have to uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player!

  Hello

  1. is the specific issue of the reading list?

  2 are you able to add other songs in the Windows Media Player library?

  3 did you changes to the computer before the show?

  The Player library is the location in the player that lists all of the music, videos and photos on your computer.

  When you play a media file on your computer or a removable storage device, the file is automatically included in the Player library, so you can access it directly from the reader. And if you have access to remote media stored on other computers on your network, you can change the player settings to add those files remotely to the Player library when you play them. The reader does not automatically add a file that you play from removable media, such as a CD or DVD.

  Since you aren't able to add songs to the library, you can try the following and see if they help.

• How can I remove folder rip of monitored files of Windows Media Player 11?

  RIP my CD to wav files on an external drive that I can use to make compilations of disc or mp3, but if I put this drive to be Windows Media Player rip folder, it includes it in the library of almost anything. As much as I have a separate player for mp3 (Yes, I don't keep my music in My Documents, Microsoft; I really don't like my music down from the ship), it includes the files wav and mp3 s, causing duplicates in my library. I only want to listen to mp3 because I use a computer as a network hub to my mp3.

  How can I delete the folder rip as a watched folder, and why Microsoft does not insist on what actually monitored? I don't see the point. I now do a temp folder just for tears and move the wav files on before turning back to my library. Pain.

  Hi dhinged,

  Ripped files are automatically added to the Windows Media Player library. On the computer, the files are in the folder specified on the tab extract music from the Options dialog box. You can change the folder at any time, but it can not be removed from monitored by Windows Media Player.
  Ref: where can I find the files that I ripped?

  I suggest you to create folders separated external hard disk (wav) files ripped to mp3 so that you can monitor folders separately.
  Ref: To change the files are controlled by the player: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Add-items-to-the-Windows-Media-Player-library

• Songs do not appear in the Windows Media Player library

  WIndows Media Player 12 adding not songs

  I got my new PC with Windows 7 this afternoon and more than 10,000 songs completely copied into the My Music folder.  None of these songs will appear in the library of Windows Media Player 12 songs. My Music folder is one of the libraries of WMP to default save location.  Only 3 songs are appearing in the library, and those are the three on the Public Music folder.  Yet when I add a song to the public music folder, it is added to the library. Then when I close WMP, and re - open, we are back to 3 original songs!  I spent an hour with HP support tonight and didn't get anywhere.  I tried the system restore.  I tried to restore the library.  I think that my WMP is maybe damaged.  Any thoughts on what I'm missing here?

  I read this on another topic, try it.

• Windows media Player library said that he corrupted how to fix this?

  How can I fix my Media Player as it says I can't play some files as it is corrupt, I'm not very computer im still learning.i tried the troobleshooter but it is not solved the problem.

  Hello

  1. what operating system do you use?

  Method1: I suggest you run the troubleshooter to library and check if that helps.

  Open the troubleshooter in the Windows Media Player library

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-library-Troubleshooter

  Method2: It would be possible that the files in the directory that stores Media Player may contain corrupted data. Go to the following directory and delete all the files in the folder. Test if the problem recurs.

  %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player

  Note: Please save the contents of the directory first.

  Method 3: Reinstall Windows Media Player

   

  As a last resort, try to uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player.

  This version fixes most of the problems of corruption of Windows Media Player.

  Note that uninstalling Windows Media Player 12 also disables Windows Media Center because WMC uses WMP12 to its operation.

  See the steps in the article.

• The Windows Media Player library is missing in Windows XP

  My Windows Media Player library has disappeared and I can't recover my music.  Please notify.

  What version of WMP are you using?

  You still see your music files in Windows Explorer? What is the file type (or types) of these files (MP3, WMA; (WAV)?

  This could be caused by a corrupted media library. To reset the library, follow the instructions for your version of WMP and Windows at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary. Note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too.
