Duplicate songs in windows media after using the Zune software

It seems that every time I have load songs on my zune since the zune software device, it duplicates the song 2 or 3 times in the windows media player. Any ideas on how to avoid this?

Hi Fred,.

I understand that songs duplicate your Windows Media Player when you try to transfer songs from the Zune using the Zune software. I understand the inconveniences caused to you and I suggest you try the following steps to solve the problem.

Do you have an error message when you transfer songs to Zune?

You might face this problem because the changes made to the Zune software settings, I suggest you to try the steps provided by Marc A follows a link and check if that helps.

If the problem persists, I suggest trying the following steps and check.

Method 1: Clear database of Windows Media Player cache files.

To do this, follow these steps:

a. exit Windows Media Player.
b. press the Windows key + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

c. Select the Media Player folder, and then delete.

d. restart Windows Media Player.

Method 2: Delete the Windows Media Player database and check.

a. exit Windows Media Player.
b. press the Windows key + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
c. Select all 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.

d. restart Windows Media Player.

Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

I hope this helps.

  • Conflict Windows Media Player and the Zune software

    Most of the music on my computer is protected DRM I use Zune Pass Music. I'll start using my Samsung Galaxy Player so I'll need to use Windows Media Player (WMP) to sync music. When I open WMP, it is littered with all DRM from my Zune subscription content. I intend to keep my Zune subscription while transferring only the music I have on my Galaxy. Here is the problem...

    I want WMP to reflect only the titles that I will be able to transfer to my Galaxy. In WMP, when I click on organize > manage libraries > music and delete the folder music and select only the folder that contains the music I own, all my music disappears from my Zune software. When I go to manage Zune monitors records and I select the subscription folder that contains all of the DRM tracks, it fills again in WMP.
    How do I separate them so that WMP shows only the music, I am owner and Zune software displays both or simply DRM content?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for your reply, but it is WAAAY too complicated. What I did was to create a new folder and stored all the songs I have in there, and under the music tab added view > folders and now I just click on that particular folder to see all my purchased music. Initially, I tried, I tried (in the form of library) view > protected would be to click on it to show not protected, but I found that I had to do every time I open WMP. The creation of this new folder is much easier.

    How to delete songs in Windows Media Player 11 duplicate

    Hello

    Method 1:
    I would recommend you to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player and see if the problem is resolved.

    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
    3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on 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.
    Method 2:

    When I download a wmv on an internet site and then play through the Player Windows Media, I get the audio but the video is just a green screen Uni.  I was told that the media player can miss a card.

    Hello

    I suggest you to check if the hardware acceleration of the display device setting is too high.

    b. click on the settings tab and then click Advanced.

    c. click the Troubleshooting tab, and then move the hardware acceleration to none.

  • How to delete many files duplicate music in Windows Media Center

    How to remove several duplicate files Windows Media Center music

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit with Windows Media Center and I have a 2 TB external drive, I keep all my multimedia (music/movies) and I just realized that my entire music library has been duplicated several times that I now have 4-5 copies of each music file in my library on my external hard drive. It is not duplicate my movies (thank God!) Why is this happening? How can I get rid of the duplicates? and how can I prevent this from happening in the future?

    You can also see duplicates in Windows Media Player library?

    Because Media Center uses the same library as WMP, I suggest that you try to reset the media library of WMP. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If its status is started, double-click on the service and click on stop.
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, delete the folder Media Player. If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the duplicates have been fixed.
