  • Windows Media Player takes a long time to open and search

    Slow initialization of WMP 12, research and classification.

    IM under W7 Ultimate 64.
    When I start WMP12 it takes much more time to initialize that WMP11 on vista, 2 minutes before I can even start by selecting music.
    If I do a search it also picks up a similar amount of time and locks (graying out, slider timer). Once I have a bunch of songs loaded on the screen, say a playlist with 200 songs and then click a tab as a note it takes 30 seconds to REList per category during this time it hangs again.
    I have about 40,000 songs in my library. I have rebuilt the library and the database now resides on a second disc which did not make a difference.
         
    (1) what someone else with similar problems and found a solution?
    (2) is it possible to replace it with WMP11 which worked perfectly and was much more intuitive?
    (3) can anyone recommend a replacement player who has gapless playback and fast database access?

  • Why not Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize w4a files in the library list more.

    I have Windows XP Pro (SP3) with Windows Media Player 11. I had a virus wipe my hard drive (everything has been updated) and after reinstalling and updating everything, it no longer recognizes the w4a files, but it automatically plays them the OMP 11 if I click on the file in Windows Explorer.

    Before the accident, all the files on my computer w4a was included in the library. Now the entire albums, as well as individual songs are missing. In fact, now NO w4a file is listed. So my question is, why does Windows Media Player 11 recognize the w4a files?

    Hello

    Method 1: I suggest you try the steps from the link below and check if it helps.

    a. close Windows Media Player.
    b. find the file of 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:
    (Drive :) Users/xxx(the user name)/Appdata/local/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 Library dialog box search for computers.
    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.

    Method 2:
    You may need to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player.
    Here's how:
    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
    a. exit Windows Media Player.
    b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.
    c. Select all files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
       Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
    d. restart Windows Media Player.
    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  • Windows Media Player will no longer play downloaded visualizations

    Recently, I had a problem range from simple annoyance to frustrating. The visualizations that I bought two (IE GE Force Aeon of spectrum) and those downloaded from Micorsoft (Album Art 3D, bubbles) will not play. It was a gradual progression, first I would like to restart and the problem seems to be resolved. Then my X 86 would not work, but would be my Media Player for 64-bit. Now they don't work at all. However, I can still see them. DLL in the list and my Alchemy, Bars and waves and the batteries still work fine (coincidentally, those working in Windows Media Center, who has never played the downloaded content - at least not on Windows 7-64 bit). I am running Windows 7 Ulitmate, service pack 1(64bit) with a card ATI 5850 vid and a Phenom II x 4 965 processor.

    Hi michardav,

    I suggest you run the troubleshooter in Windows Media Player and see if it helps.

    Downloaded visualizations can be corrupted, download it again and check.
