Failed to read tracks in windows media player.

• Several same tracks on Windows Media Player

  Can someone help me?  I have problems with windows media player and it showing multiple tracks of the same track.

  Hello MunkienFlipper,

  Thank you for posting.  This would happen if the location of the file has been changed or if you have multiple copies of the same piece.  This can be corrected by deleting one of the files.  Before doing so, I suggest that you try to read each of the duplicates to see if it will play and then remove registration which do not play.  If two or more in fact play, you can just delete the ones you don't want.

  Please let me know if this helps you.

• How can I change the Art of the track in Windows Media Player?

  I know how to change the album art and I already fixed, but tracks have individual art, designed by the artist, and I want those on their respective titles. I messed around with Windows Media Player for a little bit, but I like the still have not found anything useful.

  I really want this art of the track on my tracks, because it is very important to me.

  Hi NoelleFay,

  I know exactly what you mean, but I don't think that WMP allows this function because most artist do not include only cd art of track individual art.

  I advise you to search/post this question in the forum of Experts of Windows.

  There, the developers of real media meet to solve issues advanced like this.

  Hope this helps,

• No reading DVD with Windows Media Player

  WMA crashed

  I used to use Nero on my old computer. I built a new computer and bought Vista and liked the use of Nero I installed it on Vista. During the installation it windows warned me that there is perhaps a conflict if I installed it. I went a head with him and of course, there was and nero would not work. I tried to uninstall it and was able to complete the removal of the program, because it has a conflict and stops. At this stage the WMP always worked very well. Recently, I installed a DIVX player... not by choice... I wasn't thjought I DL update or something, not a media player and pay any attention to any. So I removed the player and now I can't watch a DVD in my media player more. He tells me that windows media player has stopped working. I send the reports to help set and have nothing in return as in to solve the problem

• Where's the "recently played tracks" in windows media player 11?

  As far as I know, it should be listed under file, or when you right click on the media player, however, I can't find where is the list of recently played songs.

  If something has changed in Windows 7? How can I see what has been recently played?

  Hello

  Windows 7 comes with Media player default 12. Unlike other versions of Media players recent items under the file will not appear in Media Player 12. The best way to display recent Articles is by creating a playlist. By design, this option isn't there.

  See you soon.

• How to manually add metadata, including the correct number of tracks on windows media player?

  I have an album that is automatically assigned incorrect metadata. I used the Edit option in find info for changing the metadata previously however, in these cases, the exact number of securities is applied to the album, and a simple surgravage of the details has been used.

  In this case, WMP recognizes 15 runs when downloaded from the CD, but apply metadata to an album with only 14 runs. This means that when I use the Edit option in find info I am unable to add the information of the last track and so complete the metadata change.

  The album is listed on All Music Guide , but can not be found when searching the wizard to find info .

  Can someone please help me add the correct information on my downloaded CD?

  Hi - Yes this a relatively simple process... If all 14 titles that have been assigned are correct, that you just change the details of the piece missing in wmp... Open the album in the wmp library view, and you can click in each column and change it (as noted in this picture)...

  

  Hope that this gets you on the way - R

• How to delete songs in Windows Media Player 11 duplicate?

  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.
  
  Here's how:
  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:
  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files.
  
  To do this, follow these steps:
  1. exit Windows Media Player.
  2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
  3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
  4. restart Windows Media Player.
  Method 3:
  When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.

  To prevent it be automatically added to your library of music files

  
  1. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

  2. on the Player tab, clear the files of music to add to the library when played check box.

  Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.

  Method 4:

  In the case where the duplicates are not removed:

  There are also third-party applications to do the job. You can search your favorite search engine and download third-party software to remove the tracks in Windows Media Player 12 duplicate.
