• Details of music file missing in Windows Explorer

  Hi, I had my files of music for a long time, nothing has changed and I have something different in terms of music players.

  The details of my music (artist, song etc.) files disappeared in Windows Explorer, but they appear in Winamp.
  I am also unable to change file details. They are all for most .mp3 files

  When you open windows Explorer, check the option views and assign details so you should be able to see the file name, size, type, artist, Album title, year, track number and duration.
  You can open the player windows media, go to the library and check if you can change each file that are listed there.

  Hello

  1 when was the last time it was working fine?

  2 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

  Method 1:

  I suggest you run the troubleshooting Windows Media Player Settings Troubleshooter and check.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-settings-Troubleshooter

  Also run

  Open the troubleshooter in the Windows Media Player library

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-library-Troubleshooter

  Method 2:

  I also suggest to try to run the System File Checkerscan on the computer. The scan will replace all the Windows files corrupted with new ones.

  Click on the link mentioned below for further guidance on the scanning of the file system Checker

  Note: You may be prompted to insert the Windows Vista installation DVD, if any files are missing or damaged.

  Hope this helps and keep us posted.

• iTunes can't locate some of my music files. Places seems to be the same however. Help?

  My old motherboard itself killed a few weeks ago and I finally had time to take out the hard drive and transfer all my files over to my new laptop. The old and the new have been / are running the same version of Windows 10.

  I met a strange problem with iTunes (version 12.4.3) locate all my music files now. When I transferred the old files to the new computer, I did it without changing anything. All iTunes folders and subfolders are together just as they were before and so are my music from Amazon and other music files (some from other music sites, more old torn records). Nothing has changed on the level where it was stored, or how files or albums have been appointed, only the computers themselves. I literally just plugged the old hard drive, dragged all the subfolders in my music in the main folder of music on the old pC to the new folder of music from PCs and went on my way. I'm looking for the files on the old HARD drive and comparing them to the new computer and all are exactly the same.

  iTunes was no a problem of localization of music and videos in the folder iTunes at all, but it seems to refuse locate others, at least automatically. He finds some of the things Amazon, but not all, and it goes the same for ripped files. It seems to be forcing me to go through and individually, select it "!" marked songs/videos to find them manually on my computer. When I select the option automatically search and find other missing files, it tells me that iTunes could not locate the other missing files in 2000. This happens even with full albums that are located in the same folder. For example, I have a Florence + the Machine album, I bought from Amazon and all songs have been marked as being absent, so I found one of the songs manually in the album folder on my PC where are all the other songs on the album, but iTunes could not find the other songs on this album, even on its own. Normally this wouldn't be a problem and I'd go just to do one by one, but for 2000 files, it's a big enough problem. I'll be sitting here all night or add more just each individual file, even if many are together.

  I'm not sure what is the problem, but I'd like an overview of how I could speed up the process from here. I pourrait delete all photos of does to and re-add-the, but that represents only ~ 500 files, the majority is the singular songs and because I can't seem to sort my files missing library I always face the boredom.

  The problem of 'missing file' with exclamation points occurs if the file is no longer where iTunes is expected to find. Causes possible is that you or a third-party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parents, or the reader, records it feeds has been a change in the letter of the drive or you have moved a non-portable library to a different path (see make a split cell library for more details). It is also possible that iTunes has changed from waiting for the files in the presentation of pre-iTunes 9 post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice versa, and so looking for a bit in the wrong place.

  Select a track with an exclamation point, use Ctrl-I to get information, then click on no when asked to try to locate the runway. Look under the file tab for the location that iTunes thinks that the file should be. Now look around your hard drive. I hope you can locate the track in question. If a part of your library has just been moved, renamed a folder or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse actions. If the difference between the two railroads is an additional music folder in a path, then it is a problem of layout. I can explain more if this is the case. If everything is where it is supposed to be trying to fix the security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

  In some cases, iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info, or during playback of a track, but this time, click on search and browse the lost track. Then, it can offer try to automatically correct the other broken links. Although he said something like 'use the same location' I think he expects to find titles in the same provision, artist / album, they were previously, with a systematic change to the path.

  If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed files, or the library was moved from OS X to Windows, then chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies it will be difficult to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is pregnant. In this case, as long as the missing files somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script for reconnecting to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works. It may need some adjustments if your media is in a non-standard layout.

  If you want me to try to provide specific advice, please post back the following details:

  1. The location of the media under Edition folder > Preferences > advanced
  2. The location of a sample of missing follow indicated under Get Info > file > location that begins file://localhost/
  3. The real path to the file which you gave 2 details

• iTunes can't find my music files

  In Windows employer all my music files are in the folder itunes/music/itunesmedia. My itunes is also set at this place, but most of my music has the explanation mark and will not play? What can I do?   I recently tried to clean my multiple file locations by moving ALL my music files to this place, have closed and reopened itunes and have executed the "consolidate files."  No assistance

  The "missing file" error occurs if the file is no longer where iTunes is expected to find.

  Select a track with an exclamation point, use Ctrl - I to get the information, and then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Because of a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say no twice!) Look under the Summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks that the file should be. Now look around your hard drive. I hope you can locate the track in question. If a part of your library has just been moved, renamed a folder or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse actions.

  Re: Location of files

• Where the license DRM for music files are stored

  Hello.

  I received an email from moduslink yesterday, they will ship vista in max. 3 weeks ;-) I wonder when I'll get it? But I found something else, I'd like to know:

  on the laptop with Windows XP pre-installed, there was these pre-installed music files (shared documents folder) with different music etc..

  I copied these files on my desktop-pc computer and (of course) the music is not played due to the absence of DRM-rights... (btw: I really hate this kind of thing DRM!)
  WindowsMediaPlayer 10MS on my desktop pc tries to download these DRM files, but cannot get a connection to a server. Probably because, I suppose, the right DRM of these songs is only stored locally somewhere on the laptop.

  On the laptop I have MediaPlayer 11 installed (I didn't want it, but I clicked OK for an update of WMP10 and did not know that it is just the upgrade to 11...).

  OK, with 11 WMediaPlayer, I guess, I can't save my license... files? ! ?

  Are the license files of these music titles stored somewhere on the hard drive? and where?
  Therefore, it would be best just to copy these files from my desktop pc license.

  I don't know if there is the same music-files included with Toshiba-Express-Vista-set at level - Programm (?)
  , so I want to store (including DRM files) on the desktop pc and then paste them to the laptop.

  you have a few tipps?
  Thank you, goodbye, kai

  Hello

  To my knowledge the DRM files has nothing to do with the operating system. The mp3 files must run on XP and Vista, but you know...
  I m not a music license expert ;) and can only suggest

  However, I studied a little on the net and it seems that the DRM files are stored
  in Windows 2000 and Windows XP in this folder:
  drive: \Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM

  In Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition (Me)
  drive: \Windows\DRM

  If you can't find the DRM folder, the exact location of the DRM folder on your hard disk is stored in the following entry in the Windows registry:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DRM\DataPath

  That's all what I found, but if you want to get more info on the DRM please check this Microsoft Knowledge base article:

  Good luck

• cleaning iTunes music files on my new PC for Windows 10

  Hello, I've been a customer for many years iTunes and that you have now more than 1500 music files in a variety of folders to iTunes on my PC Windows 10. In fact, the number of unique music files is about 750.  I moved all my mp3 and m4a files unique to a single folder.  I also removed the 01, 02, etc. in front of the file names. I would now like to load only the music files in this folder in iTunes.  I intend to do what follows to do this:

  1. Uninstall iTunes on my PC for Windows 10
  2. Delete all iTunes music files
  3. reinstall iTunes
  4. Use 'Add file to library' pointing to the unique music folder

  Please let me know if it will work.

  Also, I have an IPod Touch and an IPod.  I intend to delete all the music files on each, then resynchronize both after the above and expect that the number of music files on my PC and the IPod Touch will be exactly the same.

  Thanks, if you have any advice or I would need other information, it would be greatly appreciated.

  You don't need to uninstall/reinstall iTunes.  If you delete the folder structure (default location C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes) iTunes library then start iTunes it will create a new library and invite you to scan your PC for the media.  I suggest you answer "" at this prompt.  Make sure that the folder that contains the media you want to add are not in this folder structure.

  Then check the settings in Edit > Preferences > advanced and make sure that they are as follows:

  

  1. It's the location that iTunes will use when adding new media
  2. This imposes a canonical file and file naming schema, as follows:
     
     where your media files are systematically named - songname. ( prefix is provided only for the albums of multiple discs.
  3. This ensures that all the media is found in the structure such folders as specified in paragraph 1.

  Now use file > add folder to library... to add cleaned to iTunes support.

  Given that you have created a new iTunes library, existing media on each of your iDevices will be automatically erased and replaced by which it your new/updated library up to date.

  Once everything is done and you have checked the results, create a backup of your iTunes library - see your iTunes backup for Windows with SyncToy library for a method suitable/recommended - and regularly update in.  You can also remove the folders containing media files that you added using iTunes file > add folder to library...

• What is the procedure using a flash drive to store the music files?

  Hello!, my OS is Windows XP Home Edition and I have a compaq presario pc.  I want to store music files in this sandisk 8.0 GB cruzer flash drive. I see this flash player needs to connect to my PC's USB port, but what do I do after having plugged the drive into my USB port? I have about 7 GB of music files I want to save in this little gadget. You will appreciate the help.

  Thank you

I noticed that the flash drive is turned on but the light goes off and nothing happens until you see this message on the currently installed drivers. Is this light on the supposed flash player to stay on for a long time it is coupled to the USB port? The flashing blade facing up... right? Is it possible that I am incorrect installation... backwards? I hope that this flash drive is not damaged. Also if I chose to copy the entire folder of music that contains 7 GB of music files, about how long would it take to copy and save any content in this flash drive? I guess that it will be more than an hour or so, is that at the time? Needless to say, it's the 1st time I tried this type of operation... still a recruit... lol

  Hello drake68, I have a Sandisk 4 GB flash drive and the led remains blue when it is connected, and when in the front port, there the light upward. Your system may be different. You can't get the message that the drivers are or have been installed. If you insert the flash drive into the front USB port of the system, you can try another port, perhaps on the back of the case, just to make sure that the USB ports work. As long as you do not force the flash player into the port, it will insert only in one direction.

  It is difficult to say how long it would take to copy 7 GB of data on a flash drive. It depends on the speed of the system, but USB 2.0 is not very fast to move large amounts of data. It might take some time.

  Hi grampsny!

  I assume you want all your music stored in one place? The default value for this should be 'my music' (which is located in the folder 'My Documents').

  1 if your music is broadcast all over the place so I guess the best way to find all these files is to click on Start then on Search

  2. now click on "all files and folders" in the left pane.

  3. in the box under "all or part of the file name" type *.mp3 and press the Search button.  If you acknowledge that all files that appear as your music files, then press and hold CTRL of your keyboard and then left click on each desired music file.

  4. now, with all of the selected files, click change and then click copy.

  5 open the 'my music' folder, and then click Edit and Paste.

  Now repeat steps 1-5 but instead of search search *.mp3, *.wma , (which is the default for Windows Media Player 11 music file).

  I hope this helps, if so please mark as good answer :)

• Sansa e260 deleted my music files

  I deleted my file containing all my music. The music is always on the piece. I can play and there is no problem with my drive, but I can't see the music files, once I have plug into my PC. I just drag-and - déposer edit my songs. can it be fixed?

  Is the 4G 2 = e260

  Well, if you have deleted the music folder, why you expect to see the files?

  Try changing the USB Mode in the settings. There are 3 modes, PSG, MSC and Auto. Do not use Auto. Manually select the MTP or MSC. Search for your files. So always invisible, switch to the other mode, they should be visible now. Your computer can only see the files when you are connected in the same mode in which they were transferred in, not the other.

  Another little thing... on the e200, the music folder series (and others) are "hidden". You must set Windows to "Show the hidden files and folders" to see them.

• View only records do not change in my music files?

  Very well. A few album covers and others were not in my opinion, so I saved all my music on my computer and formatted. I crossed of WMP11 and edited all the Advanced tags, album names, artists, everything. Then I put everything in place on the drive and everything is back to how it was before I had it took off and formatted, it - he has not saved any changes to all my music files. Help?

  Remove files from the view, disconnect, reconnect and then copy files that have changed to the view;

  Looks like that it inspect the files again if they where in the database of views before more later connect (even if changed timestamps)

• Accidentally deleted the music file

  So, I accidentally deleted my music file while trying to back up my photos and music. And it's gone missing. The record little colored which used to be he went there. Nothing else that this white page, that Microsoft uses when there is nothing there is left. And now I can not playany MP3 files on my computer because he repeats to me that music has disappeared. Can someone tell me how to recover the file?

  DocCeCe,

  As I understand it in your post, it seems you deleted your music folder located in your user folder. If this is incorrect, please specify.

  If you simply move your file to the trash by clicking on delete, then you can restore it:

  If you were holding SHIFT when you deleted then you have made a permanent removal where you can try a restore from snapshot Service. For more details, see the following article:

• When I try to burn a music disc player is registered as a DATA reader and does not allow me to copy music files that I can play on an external source

  I have computer aGateway running Vista Home Edition and something happened with WIndows Media Player.   I have the DVD/RW internal drive and external DVD/RW as a player.  I use them mainly to copy music files and it has always worked fine until yesterday.

  When I try to burn a music disc, the player is registered as a DATA reader and does not allow me to copy music files that I can play on an external source (such as the CD or car drive).  Worked fine Saturday and had burned discs Saturday night recognizes the two drives as data drives.

  Is it something that needs to be reset or changed?

  In WMP, please click the button burn up and make sure that the Audio CD is selected. Then try burning the CD again, they now play on a standalone CD player too.

• Property info 'Year' on the music file from XP not visible in Vista

  Under XP, I used to add a date which was recorded a music file (such as '2001-01-01', or 'unknown').  None of this information will appear in Vista.  Vista does not display and only allows you to enter the 4 numbers in this area.

  Is it possible to change this in Vista?

  I have spent a lot of time organizing my music files and was shocked when this info was not visible in Vista.

  No idea if Win7 has the same problem?  If this isn't the case, I could always upgrade.

  Hello Jirot,

  If your question is about the info tag shown in Windows Explorer, only the numbers that can be entered or displayed in the field of the year by their design.  Unfortunately, your choice of the tag of the year to keep the record full dates was not a good thing.

  I suggest that you use a music tag editor to edit your data instead of using Windows Explorer or Windows Media Player.  There are many available freeware editors.  A good editor like Mp3Tag will allow only the lot by moving your dates of record of the year in a comment field, which is suitable for the recording of dates.

  I don't know how Windows 7 handles the year tag (perhaps someone will comment), but I suspect it is the same as Vista.
