• adding new files or remove the old Windows Media Player files. (Vista)

  Since June 2010, I was not able to add new files or remove the old Windows Media Player files.  I can click on a new file and play using WMP or add to a playlist that is currently playing, but it does not recognize that it was added after as I close the program and re-open it.  Or I can delete the files that no longer exist on my computer but WMP always has them as my files.  When I click on add new media, it recognizes the right amount of files I would be adding, says to add them and then nothing is there.

  Your media library has probably been corrupted. To reset, follow the instructions for WMP 11 Vista at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary . Note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too. Tim Baets

• How can I disable completely sync in Windows Media Player?

  Whenever I connect my phone to my computer, Windows Media Player comes and asks for sync, sometimes resulting in the device not being recognized, so I can't copy files to the phone without having to shut down WMP and reconnect my phone to my computer. This means that I can't enjoy my music and plug my phone at the same time.

  Now, I've seen some answers out there, but they don't really solve my problem. What I want is WMP never synchronize or ask to sync every time I connect a new device, because even if I have to turn off sync for my phone if I then try to plug in my flash drive it ask for synchronization.

  What I want is that the option sync completely disabled for each device, I could connect to the future, not a simple temporary fix. If there is none I'll switch to a different media player.

  I don't don't need or even care for automatic playback. This may help someone, it worked for me, although minimal testing just by using USB flash drives. BTW I use WMP 12 in Windows 7 Pro.

  In the Panel--> view by: small icons--> AutoPlay--> I changed ALL media options and the device of "Non-action" and strangely enough, I kept the check mark for "Use AutoPlay for all media and devices" and now what to open, play, or even synchronize the decisions are totally up to me.

• EA4500 Windows 7 can not index the files so not seen by Windows Media Player

  I install a drive on the USB port of the EA4500 and 4 files.  A music course.  I want to access this folder through my laptop wireless with Windows Media Player, but I don't get a handle on disk + 3000 songs.  A PC cable can access files, but not a wireless laptop.  I don't know where is the problem.  If I use the reader via //host/Music the star ratings are not available, but I get all the music, if I map a drive can I get star rating but only a handful of songs.  I tried to change the permission, but I can't change the permissions of the file on the Linksys.

  You should be able to change the permissions on the page of the router. Using the classic Firmware or the Linksys Smart Wifi? If you use the firmware Linksys Wifi Smart, it is under the USB storage device > access to records. If you use the classic Firmware, it's under storage > Administration. The laptop should be able to see all the files just like the office.
