Can't read converted YouTube music files in Windows media player

Original title: windows media player

I downloaded music videos from youtube and convert them to mp3. I can not play on wmp11

Hi CarlPost,

  1. How do you convert YouTube music to Mp3 format?
  2. What happens when you try to play to the converted YouTube files with Windows media player? You receive an error message?
  3. Are you able to play other Mp3 music files on the computer using Windows media player?

 

I suggest that you make sure that the files are converted to the Mp3 file format correctly and then try to play using Windows media player.

Also make sure you play music files supported by Windows media player, refer to the article below for more information.

  • How can I print a list of all my music files in Windows Media Player 11?

    I use windows vista home premium service pack 2.  I tried to download exporter of news media (mpexp.dll) and I get a message saying that I need to be logged on as administrator to perform this operation, however, I am logged on as administrator.  In addition, I can't download the pleasures of winter to windows media player 9 series pack 2003.

    Hello greenheron,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

    You can try export playlist of media information by an application word by following the steps in the link below:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/KnowledgeCenter/HOWTO/mediainfoexp.aspx

    We inform you that you will install Media exporter info. This exporter is basically designed for Media Player 9 and would work for Media player 11.

    The process is a little different:

    Follow this workaround solution to install the exporter of media:

    Step 1 - Download and install Media exporter Info

    You can try to run the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP.

    Make older programs in this version of Windows

    http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/bf416877-c83f-4476-a3da-8ec98dcf5f101033.mspx

    Step 2 - use of the exporter to export of information media

    Open Windows Media Player.  A small Media exporter Info window must already be open.  If not, you can open it manually: on the Tools menu, go to plugins and choose the exporter of News Media.  If you do not see the Tools menu initially, just right click somewhere on the blue bar dark near the top of your window of WMP.

    1. Click Properties to select where the file is saved and what application to load it in.  Will the file be formatted differently depending on the application you choose, but Excel is the best option if you want to clean it to show only the artist/album names (see below).
    2. Click Export.   The file will be exported, but it will contain much more than just artist names and album information.  The next step shows how to clean it.

    Step 3 (optional) - clean the list exported in Excel

    1. Delete all columns except for artist and Album (columns B and C) by default.
    2. Select the two remaining columns.
    3. In the tab menu or data, choose the function remove duplicates.
    4. Check the my data has headers check box, and then click OK.
    5. That's all.  Now you should have a clean list of albums as well as the names of their artists.  You can print this list directly or export it to Word and format more far away to make it prettier.

    You can also try running the program as administrator.

    To run a program as an administrator, follow these steps:

    1. right click on the icon that you use to run the program and then click run as administrator.

    2 when you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or click continue.

    Try this and get back to us if it does not work.

  • How can I access my music files through Windows Media Player?

    OK, here's the facts:
    I have Windows Vista.
    Most of my music in my music is missing.
    I can view and listen to the music of "missing" in Windows Media Player (library).
    In Windows Media player, if I click on a song and 'open file location' need me for my music, and the file is not there.
    Looking for songs via the start menu or through my computer does not work.
    MP3 audio files are also missing.

    Not having access to the original files, I can't add music files individually to my mp3 (Windows Media Player lets you synchronize files only, and I don't want to lose a part of the 'missing' files I have on my mp3 using the Sync feature).

    How can I access my music? Clearly, it is still on my computer somewhere since I can play through Windows Media Player.

    Hello

    Step 1: Check what all records are controlled by the player. Then check these records, if the music file is present.

  • Cannot play music files in Windows media player hard disk external.

    Hello

    I tried for a while to play the transferred music from my hard drive external.

    I tried all sorts of things with WMP and it's just not going to play the files.

    I canoe play my music.

    The thing is that it shows the albums and songs listed there.

    But when I open a song and try to hit the room then a box opens with a warning.

    Say that Windows Media Player cannot find file.

    This has never been a problem with older media players.

    I tried to re - download the player, but it's not part of windows more I guess and that sucks.

    I want the old player back.

    This was very frustrating, I hope someone can help.

  • Organize music files in Windows Media Player after extraction.

    Whenever I ripped a cd with Windows Media Player, all the titles of the songs are all in the right order and therefore not in the right order, why? I use Windows Media Player after all to get the missing information from the album. So why do this?

    Track one becomes track 2 and 5 becomes 7 then what happens? And I tried to edit myself as well but every time I click Update album info it just messes up amel!

    Actually, it's funny how it never used to do that before.

    Hi haslam,.

    When you rip (copy) the tracks on a CD, Windows Media Player attempts to identify songs on the CD by connecting to Internet and search of the database of Windows Media, which is run by Microsoft. In most cases, the player is able to retrieve information of media of the database online and then add the information to the files Windows Media Audio (WMA) or MP3 which are created during the ripping process.

  • How can I play a Quicktime (.mov) file in windows media player?

    My computer (Vista) downloaded my videos from my camera to the .mov format.  I have quicktime on my computer and can be read using this software.  But I want to import videos in Windows Movie Maker and Movie Maker does not recognize the .mov file.  Help, please!  I'm doing videos at home for the holidays.

    Hi Junkmendall,

    Welcome on the site of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

    Some audio and video file formats are not supported in Windows Movie Maker and cannot be imported. Movie Maker is not compatible with QuickTime .mov files. However, if you have a video or audio file that is not supported, you can use a video editing software not Microsoft to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker to perform a search online for video conversion software to find one that fits your needs (check the file formats that are supported by Window Movie Maker http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Import-video-files-pictures-and-audio-into-Windows-Movie-Maker) and then import the video file or an audio resulting in Windows Movie Maker. Some files also require you to install a codec before you can use the files in Windows Movie Maker.

    IMOPRTANT NOTE: Using third-party software can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly or may lead to serious problems. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Let me know if that does or does not work. Good luck!

    Original title: Media player upgrade was worse than basic
    I recently updated my Player multimedia media Player 11 and now it won't play movies from AVI file that I used to be able to play easily on the outdated version. Why is this?

    Hello
