Duplicating music for Windows Media Player files

I REMOVE THEM AND THEY COME BACK WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER.

Hi Ninaduvall,

I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too.

To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

a. close Windows Media Player.

b. for Windows Vista:

Click Start, click run, 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.

If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

exit Windows Media Player.

b. click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

c. Select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

d. restart Windows Media Player.

Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  • Music in windows media player will stop playing at the end of the song

    Original title: at the end of the songs sound problem

    When playing music in windows media player there are a couple of secpnds of silence at the end of each file-music

    Hi ccjerry,

    1 when was the last time it was working fine?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    If the music in your library skips or the audio breaks up when you play in Windows Media Player, it might be a problem with the sound driver installed on your computer. In general, this type of problem occurs towards the end of the songs (in the last 20 seconds or almost).

    In some cases, you can work around the problem by disabling optional speaker effects that are collectively known asimprovements. If the disabling effects speaker resolves the problem, you may need to update your audio driver.

    (a) Sound open by clicking on the Start button and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type sound, and then click sound.

    (b) on the playback tab, click speakers, and then click Properties.

    (c) click the enhancements tab, and then select the checkbox disable all improvements .

    If you do not see the enhancements tab in the speakers properties dialog box, these features are not available for your speakers, and this procedure is not applicable to your computer.

    If disabling audio enhancements solves the audio problem you are having, this indicates usually that your audio driver needs to be updated.
