  I sync between my computer and my (old) mp3 a Philips something or other (I know if this is important). For some reason half of my playlists no longer appear on WMP. However, their corresponding .pla file is always on my mp3 player. I understand that .pla files are empty, but the link to the device and of course db under properties, I see that the pla files contain all the correct tracks. I want to restore these playlists on WMP. Please, is it possible to import these? I tried syncing my mp3 player to my computer by this is not not possible to drag and drop playlists.

  You can use Windows search to search for *.wpl and *.m3u, which should bring them up if they have not been deleted. In addition, please check the trash.

• How can I print a list of all my music files in Windows Media Player 11?

  I use windows vista home premium service pack 2.  I tried to download exporter of news media (mpexp.dll) and I get a message saying that I need to be logged on as administrator to perform this operation, however, I am logged on as administrator.  In addition, I can't download the pleasures of winter to windows media player 9 series pack 2003.

  Hello greenheron,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

  You can try export playlist of media information by an application word by following the steps in the link below:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/KnowledgeCenter/HOWTO/mediainfoexp.aspx

  We inform you that you will install Media exporter info. This exporter is basically designed for Media Player 9 and would work for Media player 11.

  The process is a little different:

  Follow this workaround solution to install the exporter of media:

  Step 1 - Download and install Media exporter Info

  You can try to run the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP.

  Make older programs in this version of Windows

  http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/bf416877-c83f-4476-a3da-8ec98dcf5f101033.mspx

  Step 2 - use of the exporter to export of information media

  Open Windows Media Player.  A small Media exporter Info window must already be open.  If not, you can open it manually: on the Tools menu, go to plugins and choose the exporter of News Media.  If you do not see the Tools menu initially, just right click somewhere on the blue bar dark near the top of your window of WMP.

  1. Click Properties to select where the file is saved and what application to load it in.  Will the file be formatted differently depending on the application you choose, but Excel is the best option if you want to clean it to show only the artist/album names (see below).
  2. Click Export.   The file will be exported, but it will contain much more than just artist names and album information.  The next step shows how to clean it.

  Step 3 (optional) - clean the list exported in Excel

  1. Delete all columns except for artist and Album (columns B and C) by default.
  2. Select the two remaining columns.
  3. In the tab menu or data, choose the function remove duplicates.
  4. Check the my data has headers check box, and then click OK.
  5. That's all.  Now you should have a clean list of albums as well as the names of their artists.  You can print this list directly or export it to Word and format more far away to make it prettier.

  You can also try running the program as administrator.

  To run a program as an administrator, follow these steps:

  1. right click on the icon that you use to run the program and then click run as administrator.

  2 when you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or click continue.

  Try this and get back to us if it does not work.

• Organize music files in Windows Media Player after extraction.

  Whenever I ripped a cd with Windows Media Player, all the titles of the songs are all in the right order and therefore not in the right order, why? I use Windows Media Player after all to get the missing information from the album. So why do this?

  Track one becomes track 2 and 5 becomes 7 then what happens? And I tried to edit myself as well but every time I click Update album info it just messes up amel!

  Actually, it's funny how it never used to do that before.

  Hi haslam,.

  When you rip (copy) the tracks on a CD, Windows Media Player attempts to identify songs on the CD by connecting to Internet and search of the database of Windows Media, which is run by Microsoft. In most cases, the player is able to retrieve information of media of the database online and then add the information to the files Windows Media Audio (WMA) or MP3 which are created during the ripping process.

  Check the settings of the library in windows media player. Steps to follow:

  a. open Windows media player

  b. click on organize

  c. Select Options, select the Library tab

  d. under automatic updates media for files, overwrite all of the missing information, must be deselected

• Cannot play music files in Windows media player hard disk external.

  Hello

  I tried for a while to play the transferred music from my hard drive external.

  I tried all sorts of things with WMP and it's just not going to play the files.

  I canoe play my music.

  The thing is that it shows the albums and songs listed there.

  But when I open a song and try to hit the room then a box opens with a warning.

  Say that Windows Media Player cannot find file.

  This has never been a problem with older media players.

  I tried to re - download the player, but it's not part of windows more I guess and that sucks.

  I want the old player back.

  This was very frustrating, I hope someone can help.

  Thank you.

• How can I find the current drivers for Windows Media Player?

  When I try to open a file, I often get the message: your device uses an outdated driver is no longer supported by Windows Media Player.  Then, the file may or may not play.  How can I find the driver update.  I use Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP laptop.

  The drivers you want are not for Media Player, they are for your laptop until you get all the details of your model and go to the HP website and download the latest drivers especially to render sounds and display adapter.

• How can I play the audio stream with Windows Media Player 11 AAC?

  Hello

  I want to listen to a live stream of a Shoutcast radio station which is in AAC format. I want to play with my Windows Media Player 11 on Windows XP SP3. I still don't play. It seems that it is not supported by WMP 11, but if missing a codec, it should be automatically downloaded from Microsoft, since the option "Download codecs automatically" is checked in the options of WMP, and my security level in Internet Options is set by default.

  Y at - there a way or a codec plugin, so I can play the stream AAC on WMP 11?

  Thank you.

  Assem

  Orban AAC/aacPlus Plugin will allow WMP 11 to play AAC streams. Note that you have to replace the http stream with icyx URL part, so to read your example AAC stream, you must enter icyx://109.234.157.154:2012 in WMP, via file - Open URL... (press Ctrl + M, if you don't see the file menu). Tim Baets

• How can I change my dvd back to Windows Media Player association?

  CyberLink Power DVD Ultra 11

  I installed a Pioneer Bd writer and had to have the software to read BD disc.  I have installed Cyberlink Power DVD Ultra 11.  There are no questions on the installation who asked me if I wanted to play any type of disc with Power DVD.

  This is what is happening.  No disc starts with Windows Media Play not yet regular DVD or CD.  They all raise Power DVD.

  I have my default player for Windows Media Player, but that makes no difference.

  Thank you

  Files

  I agree that he should have asked you which types to associate the files, but you should be able to re - join those you want with WMP just by right clicking on one of them in Windows Explorer and then selecting open with, choose default program & choosing WMP while checking that the box "always use this program...". "is defined [always, that's when even I think that].

  [Open the dialog box can be a little misleading.]  [If WMP is not one of the choices available to you, look immediately under these choices & there is a small arrow down which will reveal many more choices including WMP].

  You will need this procedure for each type of file you want to associate to WMP again.

  Discs

  You will also need to go into Control Panel, Autoplay set discs to use WMP again.
