Can't my downloaded music to open in Windows Media Player and Make Playlists in Windows Media Player

Up to what a few days ago, I could download music (mp3)... put them in files... so being able to move to Windows Media Player and create playlists. The songs are all had small blue and white MP3 icon.  It was great. Didn't matter if they come from youtube or has been downloaded sites and e-mail.

I had a virus and just had the computer repaired and recharged.  Now all the mp3 files have the Red helmet icon and play on the music app.  I really don't like this app and would like to change back to the old icon mp3.  The computer has always had Windows 8 with the music app, but it never came in the image before. I know that Windows Media Player is not the best, but it worked great for what I had with my music.  It seems that I can't do playlists on the media player more... He goes to the application of music and play on xbox music.

Please help me to recover from my years 50 era mp3. (I'm not a 'great' computer person, so I'd appreciate any help)

Thank you very much...

Paul

Hi Paul,.
 
The probable cause of this problem could be due to the 'Windows Media Player' is not defined as music player by default on your computer.
 
In Windows 8, Windows Media Player is more the default program to open files of music such as MP3 files.  If you want to make sure Windows Media Player is the multimedia player by default as if it was in previous versions of Windows, please follow the methods in the links below.

  • Can u download music during the 3 month free trial and keep these songs after it ends?

    I kinda want to do the free trial but I fear when it is that I won't get to keep my downloaded songs

    Hello sylvie13,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you're wondering on downloading music for listening offline when you use the Apple trial music of 3 months.  The trial behaves like normal subscription works and allows full functionality of Apple's music and iCloud music library.  If you recorded any music for listening offline, and you decide not to continue with a subscription to Apple's music, then you will not be able to play this music.

    If you do not renew your subscription to Apple's music, the songs you downloaded remain on your computer, but you cannot play them up to that join you.

  • Why can't I download programs or open pdf files?

    Hello
    I have 2 month old dell Vista desktop Pc.
    I had a virus recently which, with the help of Mcafee, I think that I managed to get rid of.
    It seems that my pc works properly and I can connect to the internet and surf the web. BUT I can not download files or programs from the internet. I tried to download, among other things, free AVG, ccleaner, spybot. I get the message to download, click to launch or save, the program downloads according to normal. Then, when he ask me to click to install, just windows close and disappear and there is no trace of the program.
    Another thing that happens is that I downloaded both spybot and avg to a memory stick using my laptop and the same thing happens. They will not install on my pc.

    Also, today I received via my hotmail account, a PDF of a reliable source and exactly the same thing, the document does not open. (I have adobe installed and working properly)

    It drives me crazy, I hope someone has suggestions on what goes wrong.
    Thank you very much

    Hello
    I think Ive solved the problems now completely.
    It seems that the main problem was Norton systemworks 2003, which I had installed on my pc but was at the origin of the conflict.
    I have now managed to delete this completely and now I can download programs and also open pdf and excel docs before I couldn't.

    It doesn't seem to be a massive amount of files strangely named etc. on my PC, and whereas the pc is a few months, that I don't think there are a lot of left over files from the virus.

    So even if everything seems to work well I don't think I need to clean up windows Vista.

    Thank you very much for your help, it has certainly helped me clean my PC

  • Why I can't install downloaded Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    Downloaded Adobe Pro XI. Will not install on my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit pc. Get the message stating that the program is 32 bit and not compatible. I can only assume that the exe tries to load Acrobat in the folder 'Program folder' of 64 bits, and not the "Program Files (x 86)" folder for 32-bit applications. What can I do? Try to download another? Download the trial version and use the serial number that I got? If I can force the exe file to load in the (x 86) folder? Appreciate your help.

    Thank you both for responding. Solved the problem with the Online Chat Help. Re-uploaded the file from Adobe (essentially the previous suggestion of the post, but not the trial version). Agency of Online Chat stayed with me through the download, installation and launch the program. Best estimate is that the initial download has been altered somehow. All right.

    When I try to install service pack 1a for windows xp, I'm meeting the message that I am unable to connect to the server.  Do I have reason to assume that the problem is on your side? Anyway what can I do to fix the problem?  I jumped on it and installed 2 and 03:00 I'm going to have problems because of this?

    SP1a is useless until you install SP2 and SP3. Do not forget to include also updates well-too-100 post SP3 security, too!
