Database of Windows Media Player lost the custom entries

I keep my music on an external drive.  I decided it would be wiser for the word 'Music' to be included in the path so moved it while Windows Media Player was not working.  When I restarted WMP built a new library, but without the personal 1 and 2 entries I had made.  He did not show all entries with the old path name so I could not copy the custom in the new topics fields.  I tried to restore the old path, but it didn't find the data.  I have never given a delete statement that data must always be stored somewhere (probably in AppData\Local); How can I recover it?

WMP version 11.0.6002.18311

Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2

You can try to restore the files to their original location, but besides that, data must be entered again.

    Windows Media Player and libraries contain no files, you just tell him
    where to find files.
     
    For other users to access the same files, place them in a folder accessible

  • I think that Windows Media Player deleted the files from my computer - please help!

    I left the computer for about an hour and had left the open Windows Media Player.  When I came back to the computer and went to get back to my music, I got a message saying there were some files on C:\ which could not be played, I wanted to remove them.  Well, I assumed that this meant MP3 which did not work properly or that have been corrupted, so I clicked Yes.  But as I looked for a second, I realized that the only thing being deleted was JPG files.  Idk now if he would only deleted their WMP or my computer everything.  And I don't know what it was delete picture wise.  I checked my recycling bin and there's nothing in it, so now im sitting here worrying whether I lost pictures continuously and if so which, or if they were removed ONLY Windows Media Player.  If anyone knows what I can do to see or know the answer, I would appreciate it so very strongly your help as im sitting here worrying my head off on that because I have tons of pictures on my computer needed.

  • Windows media player updates the C:\user file my emusic downloads

    When I download a file service eMusic, I can't do the media player to show these downloads on the player, although I chose to sync and play them on media player in eMusic downloader program tools.  Files appear at the bottom of the screen of my file on media player when I hit this button but are lost because I opened a new MP3 from the downloader.  The files on 10 appear on the file button, play, but do not synchronize to the library and are visible on the background tape of the media player.

    I tried to get into advanced add to the options of the library and found that the eMusic MY file that is on my desktop does not appear in the media browser.  What can I do to remedy this?

    gorillagael,
    If I understand you correctly, you want to add your eMusic folder (the default location it downloads the music) to your Windows Media Player library.  If this is the case, then take a look at this article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Add-items-to-the-Windows-Media-Player-Library

    If this does not help or is not what you are looking for, then post back with more details, i.e. the version of Windows, the version of WMP, etc...

  • Icon for Windows Media Player in the taskbar

    I changed the icon of the shortcut of Windows Media Player.  When I open Windows Media Player, I would like the icon in the taskbar to be the same icon for the shortcut.  How can I accomplish this?

    Windows 10.

    As you can see in the video, I followed the 'instructions' perfectly exactly, but clicking on the newly pinned icon translates into an 'extra' icon (the icon of Windows Media Player).  Of course, the pinned custom icon remains, of course, but another appears.  And it happens the same on all operating systems that allow pinning to taskbar (7, 8, 8.1 and 10.) If you can show otherwise I'll PayPal payment for your trouble.

    Here are the exact same steps in Windows 7 and 8.0.  I showed more top 10.  I would like to know if you want in addition to the 8.1.  They are all identical.

  • Windows Media Player deletes the files in library

    Several months previously, Windows Media Player has lost all the files that I had added to the library.  Only three files remain, in my view, are examples of files.  I can access my music going directly in the folder and opening the file from there, but I can't view the files in WMP.  I searched questions similar and tried the recommendations given here, but none have worked.

    I tried to rebuild the library.

    I tried to disable WMP and then the reactivation, and then when I open WMP, repopulated with all my music library! But after shutting down the computer and WMP the next day, I looked at the library fill and empty then back down into the three sample files.

    I did a scan of SFC system today, and the only corrupt files that it found were related to Internet Explorer, that he fixed.

    There is no new updates to Windows Installer.  I'm running Windows 7 Pro.  The computer is about 2 years old, and WMP worked well until a few months ago.

    Hello

    The most common cause for problems of library WMP is 3rd party players trying to take exclusive
    library control or have unusual storage settings. 3rd part antivirus/security programs can
    also be involved.

    Think outside the box, because it is not likely to be an internal error of WMP.

  • Windows Media Player shows the library ghost

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I deleted everything in my music library, but Windows Media Player shows that I have several albums there. When I try to play songs, WMP says that they aren't there. When I try to delete them, nothing happens.

    Something seems to have gotten corrupted, but I have no idea how to solve this problem.

    You can erase the Media Player library altogether by the removal of the database

    Output Media Player

    Run services.msc and stop the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

    In the box start the search menu, enter %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft , and delete the folder Media Player.

    Open Windows Media Player and it will recreate the database from scratch, so you will get the computer search for media files dialogue.
