Changing music Info after this problem by Windows Media Player

I 'Open file location' and go to 'Properties' correct/update the information of the song, but as soon as I do, changes to Media Player it again at all what he wants and adds random other songs from the same album and change number and track cover art. This problem is even worse trying to organize the songs on the mix CD. I went in 'Options' to change to "Substitute information" to "Only the missing information" and she always does.

Hi KaylaPatterson,

Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums!

I understand that Windows Media Player will not change the information of music even after update in the location of the main file.

I'll be more than happy to help you and guide you in the right direction.

To avoid this, I suggest you to check out the methods and check if it helps. You can try to clear the Windows Media Player database and check if it helps.

To do this, follow these steps:

Step 1

1. exit Windows Media Player.

2. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.

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.

Step 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. If you are running Windows 7, click Start, run, % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

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.

Also note before performing the steps above, I suggest to save the songs and try the steps above.

Let us know the results.

Let us know if you encounter problems under windows in the future. We will be happy to help you.

    Hello, thanks for reading and helping me.

    I try to play a legitimate, belonging to DVD, but Windows Media Player 12 will not play on my computer Windows 7 Professional.  The DVD worked a few days ago, but all of a sudden, I get the following error message:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

    I did a lot of research of these forums and on the ' net.  Here are the suggested steps I tried without success:

  • Problem with Windows Media Player: "Server execution failed" and "files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

    I have a problem with Windows Media Player on laptop Lenovo G780. My laptop is under warranty (bought a month ago), but technical support Lenovo told me that the Windows Media Player program is not covered by the warranty.

    And this is a problem:

    When I click on Windows Media Player - to about 0.1 sec I see it opens and closes the window and nothing happens.

    When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the option open with Windows Media Player - I get a message: "Server execution failed" - I checked that all services with 'Media' in the name are running.

    When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the open option with Windows Media Center - Windows Media Center opens with the message: "the files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

    When I select a file mp3 or wmv and right-click with option open with Windows Movie Maker life - see the video

    I tried to turn / WMP and WMC - did not help
    Tried to run as administrator - did not help
    I don't see something suspicious under events

    What can I do else?

    Thank you

    I had the same problem and then by chance, I tried a video on YouTube and it worked for me. Here's how I went on this issue and solved my problem:

    1. go to the computer, then OS (C).
    2. you will need to open Program Files (x 86) and Program Files.
    3. go to Windows Media Player in Program Files (x 86) and open the folder.  Then, remove the wmplayer file.  You may need to work around the error TrustedInstaller.  I'll tell you that, in a moment.
    4. in Program Files, go to the same folder for Windows Media Player and select the same file again. Wmplayer.  Copy the file in another window open.  Copy ensures that if the question comes up again you can at least try to fix it again.
    This should be the end of your problem.  If you need to circumvent the TrustedInstaller question is how:
    1. right click on wmplayer and select Properties > Security > advanced > owner > Edit > other users and groups.
    2. Enter your username and then click on check names.  Click OK.
    3. close the dialog boxes as he has requested.
    4. open again the properties and click Security.  Select your username from the list and click on edit.  From there, select full control.
    This should give you full control over the removal of the original file for WMP and easily allow you to copy the other files (x 86) programs.
    Please let me know how it goes for your problem.

    This has not happened before, but now, whenever I want to sync music to any memory card, it does not work. It makes the whole process, and it did as it syncs, but at the end of that music just does not appear in the memory card. If I go to the status of the synchronization, all songs appear with a RED x next and it says that Windows has encountered a problem during the synchronization of the file to the device.

  • Problems of Windows Media Player 11 CD Info

    Hi I have a problem with the display of the information on the CD when I insert an original CD. The names of the song usually come to the top of the list pane, but for some reason any, that he is not up-to-date on the new CD that I inserted. It shows the info for a CD I listened to about two weeks ago. I have a permanent connection to the internet, so I can't work on why the CD information may not be updated. Can anyone help?

    I tried other CD and they are not up-to-date or the other, I also cleared my history and cache in media player, but this does not areas media player to update. I am very frustrated.
    I'm running Vista 32 bit on a laptop HP DV9.

    When you insert a new CD, WMP shows the correct number of tracks? You should be able to get the correct information by right-clicking on a track by selecting Find Album Info and you are looking for the album manually. Tim Baets

  • I can't change the name of the artist in windows media player 12

    I just got a new computer with windows 7 and windows media player 12. I can't change the name of the artist... the only thing I can change is the name of the song. I have a bunch of songs apparently by an artist called "Various Artists" (even if the playlist on the right has the artist right next to the name of the song)

    After almost losing my mind I finally realized that if I went to 'Artist' under the music heading and 'edition' "various artists" by clicking right select edit and then it is empty. But that only put some of the songs in the right places. I have now 2 songs always under "Various Artists" and apparently no way to solve this problem. It's so frusterating. Is not able to organize and change the information the whole point of WMP? Why am I required to have two completely different artists and songs under the title "various artists" I'm afraid to download more music because if another song goes under "various artists" I could just smash my brand new computer.

    What version of WMP, I had on my old computer had an advanced tag editor... Why is it that has been subscribed? And then I'm on the subject it's terrible this new Windows Media player is why is there not more "recently added" tab? It would have been helpful in trying to find music mistagged I just add... or maybe I should remember that all the songs are technically 'Various Artists' and just look there first.

    You can also change the Album artist for the music , if you select the column of the Album artist , right click on a column heading and selecting ... Choose the columns . Tim Baets

  • Problem with Windows Media Player Audio sync DivX playback in full screen

    Hello

    I have found lately that when playing videos on Windows Media Player divx mode full screen audio is out of sync.  If the video is played in window mode, there is no problem.  I had no such problem in the past, but now for about 1 month or so, I have this problem.

    I have fitted iq508a to vista 64-bit, with the latest drivers delivered HP installed (using the HP update utility)-does anyone else have this same problem too?

    I can't believe! I solved the problem with this problem of video audio sync during playback in full screen!

    While watching the Pineapple Express, I thought WTF I'll take another closer look at this, and while they were smashimg their cell phones so that they could not be found by triangulation, (don't ask - u just I have to watch - stoner movie )...

    in any case, I looked under tools options in WMP.  I unchecked the option on the performance tab "use video smoothing"-the video as reloaded and bingo! everything in harmony!

    BTW, I checked my another PC running Vista 32 bit and the option ' use video smoothing ' also exists and it is checked if this seems to be a problem with WMP works on Vista 64 bit or running desktop Touchsmart of WMP... In case I am much happier now...

  • How can I change the Art of the track in Windows Media Player?

    I know how to change the album art and I already fixed, but tracks have individual art, designed by the artist, and I want those on their respective titles. I messed around with Windows Media Player for a little bit, but I like the still have not found anything useful.

    I really want this art of the track on my tracks, because it is very important to me.

    Hi NoelleFay,

    I know exactly what you mean, but I don't think that WMP allows this function because most artist do not include only cd art of track individual art.
