  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.

• Trying to create a playlist without Windows Media Player?

  Is it possible to create a playlist without Windows Media Player? I VideoLan if that's any help.

  Here's the question: I did the test.m3u file, which is placed inside the folder "Music" with the following content.

  #EXTM3U
  1\test.mp3
  

  If test.m3u exists in 'Music' and 'test.mp3' also available in 'music '. However, when I access the "Playlists" menu inside the Sansa player and then click on the 'TEST' playlist, it reads as "EMPTY". Why is this? Is it just that he can't find the MP3 file or have I done something wrong with where I placed everything?

  Any help is appreciated.

  I have successes by creating playlists m3u on my Sport Clip with music files organized in several subfolders using VLC Media Player.

  First of all, I use Win Explorer of files to create subfolders on my Sport Clip (internal or external memory) to the title of the music. Then I copy my mp3 files selected from my HD in different subfolders of music on my Sport Clip

  Then, I use VLC Media Player to load the mp3 files on my drive in the VLC playlist window.

  Can I use "Media-> Save Playlist to file-. > Save it as "abc123.m3u" and save the new playlist in one of the subfolders music on my player.   Then I can use music mode or map view on my Sport Clip to select the playlist and listen to music files through all subfolders.

• Playlists with windows media player

  So, I already searched and couldn't find anything to help solve my problem.  I'm not the person most computer savy in the world, but cannot understand why it won't work.

  I can create a playlist in windows media player - select this option to synchronize, he says he has been synchronized, but the list of playlist in my rocket was simply the golis.  In MTP mode, nothing happens, in MSC mode, I just get a second copy of the song in the same file as the first, but no playlists?

  Thanks in advance

  Scotty, why not try some of the other ways to create a playlist, rather than beat their heads against the wall WMP. There are at least 2 (if not more) programs of creation of playlist created by my colleagues here (here's one) directions as well as step by step on How to do with Winamp (free version is OK).

  As I said, there are more; You should be able to flush out them easily by using search here.

  1. log in as an administrator.

  2. make sure that WMP is closed.

  3. go to c:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player.

  4 find the wmdb CurrentDatabase_400 file and delete it.

  5. once the wmdb file has been removed, restart the Windows Media Player and the database should begin to repopulate.

• Hi, I'm trying to use Windows Live Movie Maker to create a movie. The film is in MP4 format and the program does not allow me to open to make a new film. Windows Media Player does not play either.

  You have problems with programs:
  -Windows Live Movie Maker
  -Windows Media Player

  Error messages:
  -Windows Live Movie Maker: Sorry Movie Maker cannot open this project file. The file is not compatible with Windows Live Movie Maker or damaged. Please select a different project file. (button: "Learn more".)
  -Windows Media Player: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  Recent changes to your problem:
  None

  What have you tried to solve the problem:
  Reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker

  Format of the file:
  MP4

  You have problems with programs:
  -Windows Live Movie Maker
  -Windows Media Player

  What have you tried to solve the problem:

  Format of the file:
  MP4

  =============================================
  The dialog box that you quoted says "Project file" in Windows Live Movie Maker
  It would be a file with an extension WLMP. Or if the file was created with
  an earlier version of Movie Maker, it can have an extension .mswmm.

  So... just to clarify... MP4 extension or WLMP or something else?

  If the files are MP4, you will need to convert them to WMV format before
  import into Movie Maker.

  There are many programs that can do conversions...
  The following freeware is an example...:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory
  http://www.pcfreetime.com/
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup250.zip
  (FWIW... installation..., you might want to
  Uncheck all of the boxes on the last screen)

  First... after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)
  are converted)

  Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  That should do it...

  To the WMP library, please click on organize and select manage libraries - music . What places are? If there is no available location, remove them and also make sure that a default save location is set. Do the same for the other libraries (videos, pictures, and Recorded TV).

  If this does not help, close WMP, open Windows Explorer, right-click the music library, select Properties and click on restore by default . After that, make sure that a backup location is defined (as indicated by a check mark).

After the following process is finished, you must license the DRM from your Windows 7 computer.

  Download the ResetDRM tool and save it to your desktop. To download this file, visit the following Web site:

• Windows XP Windows Media Player 11 won't burn Audio CD from Playlist but Windows Media Player 9 burn playlist

  I'm trying to burn an audio cd using a playlist and the Windows Media Player built-in burning capability. I already went through the standard elements, changing CDs, shift etc.  The problem persists.

  When I try to burn an audio cd from a playlist I get the following message "windows media player has encountered a problem when burning the file to disk"

  I uninstalled Windows Media Player 11 and it is reverted to the version 9, version 9, I can burn audio CDs without problem and they play.

  OK, I GOT AN UPDATE, these WMA files are sitting on a shared folder on a server.  Windows media player 9 is able to burn them without a problem. Windows Media Player 11 cannot until I have copy the files to the local disk.

  Until Windows Media Player 11 changes forcing him not to work?
