Cannot add the titles to Windows Media Player

I was able to repeatedly add titles to my media player library. Construction is 11.0.6002.18311 if that helps. Whenever I record my music into playlists, delete all the files in the appdata/local/microsoft/media reader, re - import playlists and I am able to add music again. However, after about a week or so, adding more tracks along the way, I am unable to add tracks from my library again and the cycle repeats. I can't keep doing this forever, as it is boring and tedious. I could do could prevent this from happening again? I have over 25,000 titles in my library and the file is beyond 1 GB. I suspect that WMP may be unable to manage libraries of this size.

Yes, "the file size maximum (CurrentDatabase_360.wmdb) library for WMP11 is 1 GB," according to http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/Library.htm.

However, are you sure that he has just 25 000 songs in your library? This means that on average, each song uses about 41 k, which is unusually high. Please check if the library does not contain a lot of other elements, such as photos or videos.

  • How to disable the pop up "Windows Media Player cannot download the information on the media... "after the extraction of a CD without activation of network connectivity.

    When I copy a CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message pop up after the investigation period is over: "Windows Media Player cannot download the media for this CD information. The other titles, artist, and album will be identified as "Unknown" in your library. For best results, connect to the Internet or manually add media for CD information. »

    I know that the message appears when I turn on the setting to allow WMP to connect to the internet to get information about the media, but I don't want WMP does. What I want is a button I can push on the pop-up that says "don't show this message again" (similar to the warnings seen in internet explore). How can I disable this pop-up window without activating the internet connection option.

    In case you're wondering, the data from the internet are incompatible in the naming convention so when I rip an audio book, so I can listen to my mp3 player, I can't completely post-processing script because not all of the disks in a set have a coherent on the slopes or even name the disc etc. At least drives marked 'Unknown' is consistent and so easy to script for the reduction to a single MP3 file.

  • Receive the message error "Windows Media Player cannot extract one or more tracks from the CD"

    Original title: Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 8 - will not tear, will not allow rip parameter changes

    Recently started Windows Media Player displays this error message when I tried to rip CDs: "Windows Media Player cannot extract one or more tracks from the CD." When I checked the rip settings, I found that no location has been chosen, even if I had chosen a location when I first set up WMP over a year ago. When I clicked on the "Change location" button, nothing happened, so I'm not able to choose a file location. I downloaded and Fix It (http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows-media-player-diagnostic-Windows-8/en-us) from Microsoft allows WMP and the library, hoping this would solve the problem, but the problem persists. After that, I also found that none of the rip settings can be changed, not only the location of the file. I get an error message that "ripping settings could not be applied" when I try to change anything on the tab music Rip under Options. I found a support of forum responses that mention a registry fix but does not provide any details on how to achieve this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Ripping allows you to put the titles of your audio CD on your PC. When you rip the tracks, they become digital files on your PC.

    There are two places in the Player library where you can customize your settings and better to make ripping work:

    • In the Rip settings menu (with less choice customization).

    • In the Options dialog box (with several choices of customization).

    Method 1: run the tool library, Windows Media Player and Windows Media Player settings and check if the extraction is possible.

    Step 1:

    a: press the logo Windows + O to open the search box.
    b: Type Troubleshooting, press ENTER.

    c: now, click on programs.

    d: and then click Windows Media Player  library.

    Step 2:

    a: press the logo Windows + O to open the search box.
    b: Type Troubleshooting, press ENTER.

    c: now, click on programs.

    ==================================
    M4A is not a compatible format. The simple solution
    is to convert .m4a files in .wma format and
    then import into Movie Maker.

    The following free Converter works for me...
