• 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?

  (b) press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to the library of the find computers dialog box.

  (c) click the Browse button to locate the file on your computer so that your library contains invalid entries. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

  If you are not sure what duplicate in your library entry is not valid, you can add a path column to display your library by following the instructions in the last question. Specify the folder on your computer that matches the path invalid file displayed in your library.

  (d) click on the search button.

  If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by double-clicking the invalid entry and then clicking on delete.

  If you have a large number of entries in doubles in your library (or if your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library

  Step 2:

  Here's how you can create the media library:

  (a) close Windows Media Player.

  (b) locate the 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:

  (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.

  Step 3:

  Avoid the music automatically added to avoid duplicate music files. To prevent music files to be automatically added to your library:

  (a) in the Player Windows Media, on the Tools menu, click Options.

  (b) on the Player tab, clear the files of music to add to the library when played check box.

  Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.

• Transfer songs from itunes to Windows Media Player

  I just purhased a new phone (Sony Ericsson Cyber-Shot) and want to transfer songs I already purhased on itunes on the phone - is that possible? I connected the memory card from my computer and windows media player is launched, I tried dragging songs from itunes to Windows media player but it doesn't seem to work - any ideas?

  Hello Dale120,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  What type of memory card that you use?  Are there measures with the memory card on the transfer of music files or on the Web site?  I tried to pull the top of your phone but do not have the specific model number.  I show that some phones using Bluetooth and USB memory cards.

  Are you able to insert the memory card and close Windows Media Player if it opens by default.  Then right-click on start and select "explore".   When the new tab opens, you will see a directory folder on the left side of the tab.  If you scroll down below your C drive you see the memory card?   You can drag a music file in your "Music" folder in the folder of the memory card?

  Yet once I would check with instructions or website http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/c510a?lc=en&cc=us for measures as well.  Please let us know.  Thank you!

• Windows Media Player shared videos are not displayed

  Windows Media Player sharing videos?

  I started recently by using windows media player media sharing features and I wanted to share 2 seasons of a TV show from my office to my lap top, I added in, but after 20 minutes they still did not show again. They just take a while to appear here? And if so how long about?

  PS I know that videos can be shared as I already have a video shared between computers.

  Hi Nahtzee,

  You can add videos again and check or on the destination computer, close Windows Media Player and check.

  Step 1: You can check if the types of files to your videos (seasons) are supported by Windows Media Player. See the article below:

• Windows Media Player network sharing using 33% CPU resources

  Network Media Media Player sharing module chew cpu

  I have a problem to use cpu similar to others on the use of the CPU window media player.  I used process Explorer tool and concluded that the wmpnetwk process was continulally with 33% of the resources of my CPU, even when the media player is started.  Media player itrself use about 20-22% cpu when it is open and put a media is underway, which is all the time. MY PC has a CPU triple heart so it is a pretty big piece of the CPU!   I tried all of the fixes suggested without result.  It is perhaps a more unique problem.  I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 vista premium 64 premium, but not to install a clean (delete all).  Found a number of problems related to the user's requests and reinstalled them.  As media player and media center are part of the operating system apparently I can't do that for them.  This JUST started happening.  Is it possible the update did something?  Also, I have a laptop with windows 7 preinstalled and won't have the same problem.  I look at this turning point multimedia and Media Player off and setting adobe media player as my default until someone can come to a better suggestion.

  Quick update.  Player use and cpu just off center media and the media is back at a low level.  Remains to be seen.  Why wmpnetwk use so much cpu?

  In fact, I found that my step can be a little higher and quite tedious.

  You can actually do the following which allows to save time! Wmplayer.exe is responsible for managing the shared library, wmpnetwk.exe share this library on the network(Please correct me if I'm wrong here)

  1. Open Windows Media Player and remove all monitored folders and close Windows Media Player (for me Windows Media Player became unresponsive after he consumed more than 300 MB, so I closed it by force), open it again with an eye on the Windows Media Player (wmplayer.exe) process to ensure that the CPU is acceptable.
  2. Add a tracking of file in Windows Media Player.
  3. When the dialog box opens showing the progress of the files added to the library, keep an eye so it gets stuck for a long time (about 2-5 min +, normally, you will find that the memory usage begins to boost quickly) and take a note which folder/sub-folder it got stuck on. (It is a good indicator that a file in this folder may be corrupted), if the dialogue ends while watched folder has no problem.
  4. If there is a problem with step 3, close the dialog progress, remove this folder monitored, close Windows Media Player and move half the files in this folder that you noted to another folder not monitored . Repeat steps 2 through 4 until the watched folder performs its search.
  5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until you have added all the files in Windows Media Player.

  I don't know why there no code in windows media player to check if corrupted files, but it is definitely a leak memory in the application and I hope this will be corrected my Microsoft soon!

• My Windows Media Player must be closed manually in the Task Manager

  Hello

  My computer is running using Windows Vista, and every time that I used Media Player and it shut my computer slow down right.  I realized that I had to go to media player close task drop and this has solved.  I upgraded to Windows 7 and thought that might solve the problem.  It must always be closed manually... Ideas?

  What is the name of the process you see in the Task Manager?  When I close Windows Media Player, the process wmplayer.exe also closes. Although if he never completed a full scan, it will stay running long enough to build the index, which can take hours if you have a lot of files.

• How to exclude folders while they are not the index by Windows Media Player 12, but are available in Media Center?

  Just upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista and am having a problem with Windows Media Player 12 and its indexing.  In WMP11, you could put all your pictures in your "My pictures" folder (so they appear in the Media Center) but then exclude it from indexing in WMP11, then it would not bog you try to index all things.

  This option has been removed in WMP12.  If you want images to appear in the Media Center, they must be included in your WMP12 library. (Even if Media Center does not use the WMP library to ALL display pictures - she designs per file)

  Because I have thousands of photos and videos, this is a major problem at any time an Extender is turned on, because for some reason when you start an Extender it forces a new scan of all your media.  It is in turn completely failed the system leaving the main centre of the media both all completely unnecessary extensions while CPU hits 100%.
