How to get an MP3 in Windows Media Player?

I have a single Mp3 file I have deleted by mistake of WMP. This is a download and 30 or more files in the same Windows Explorer folder are playable from in the WMP. This file will play with a double click in Windows Explorer - but impossible to find in WMP. I searched by title, genre, and interpreter. He isn't here. How can I get the media player to pick it up?

Help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jim - things again in what?

I agree - recover files in WMP you deleted by mistake is a little pain (although not quite as bad when you're stuck with the lost files, you can not delete).

The only way to recover this file is to restore the destruction of the library - the downside of that is he can put other items you have deleted too (so you will need to remove them again)

Open library WMP and click on 'tools' (top of the left page *), select "Advanced" and then "restore deleted items to library" and who should replace

* If you do not see the "tools you need to access the 'menu' bar -"organize"- layout" - and "Show menu bar" check or (simply) place the cursor in the top bar (to the right of "library-music-artist") and right click.

Cheers - Ric.

  • Recently I have not been able to burn a CD with Windows Media Player: I get an error message: "Windows Media Player cannot find the file."

    Hello

    I recently haven't been able to burn a CD with Windows Media Player (he worked last week, but not now). I get an error message "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. The link between the library item and its digital media file associated with may be broken. "Try to fix the link or delete the item. There is a web help option which says that to fix a link, you click on the blue icon next to the item, then click "Browse this article. But the only icon I see is a little blue triangle next to individual songs in the library pane or list, there is no icon next to the name of the playlist. Although the click with the right button on the blue triangle gives me a few options, "Browse this point" is not one of them. Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong and how can I sort it please!

They are .zip files. inside are the mp3 files that I need to listen to. can someone help me.

     

    Hello

    You need to open ZIP files, which are compressed to make it smaller, then use the content
    in the application appropriate - so if the audio or video content can use WMP.

    Compress and uncompress files (zip files)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/compress-and-uncompress-files-ZIP-files

    Although Windows has integrated ZIP, you might be more comfortable using a program
    with more features (and works with different types of compressed files).

  • How to convert wma and wav, mp4 files and what not not mp3 with Windows media player?

    * Original title: music questions

    Music has become a huge problem for me.   My car CD player only supports mp3 format.  I wish I could burn my CD from which I get used various locations, so that I can play in my car. Or convert files I have, which are not in mp3 format.  I played the same CD in my car for years.  It's a little sad.  And convert mp3 no mp3 files, so I can play them in my car, because I don't have a player other than Windows media player and speakers belong good markets.   How to convert files to wma and wav and mp4 and what not in mp3?

    Music is expensive nowadays and the multiple formats and thus loss of music bought and in the cloud, or itunes 'cannot locate the source' will not play, and when devices in the event of a failure or who are upgraded drives me crazy.  I have more music in my life and I wish that we would go back to portable music as CD.

    I usually use Windows Media player to RIP CD, that I find at thrift stores.   I have my brother gave me, on the PC that is in all sorts of types of music files.  I found a job online converter and it is, according to me, so thank you guys for suggesting that.  Have tried 3 different ones and finally found one that works in the last one.  I think my brain might need a bit of adjustment, of our days, (won't tell you music I have on CD, would seriously date), no kidding, but probably my PC could also use the setting.   I also have itunes for Windows, but have hardly used it.

  • How do I synchronize the underwater Nabaiji MP3 with Windows Media Player player

    Hello

    I have a whole collection of music on Windows Media Player.

    I just bought an underwater Nabaiji MP3 player which is a 2 GB, so I can swim to the music as it becomes boring just to get on and off the track.

    It says on the instructions which are very vague and little "Store musicnin the menu root products"and"this player supports MP3 and WMA music files and this player is PC and MAC compatible and connects via a USB cable supplied with the unit.

    Then I plugged the USB and came Nabaiji MP3 icon.

    Because of the music I have on Windows Media Player, being much more 2 GB, I followed the depth in Windows Media Player instructions to synchronize the music chosen on the unit as follows:

    1. I made a playlist and title it.

    2. I sync to the device list.

    3. it will still play music on the device.

    As quite a novice in this area please can someone help me because I lost 11 hours so far and get to the stage where the PC almost took a hammer to it.  Very frustarting and might make you cry.

    All of the suggestions.

    Help, please!

    Concerning

    Jason

    Try to add content from devices to your music library

    One main folder music is in one of them right click and select Add to library and that it points to the music library

    So WMP will read the library adding :/
