  • 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.
     
    DISCLAIMER

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • How to add "Add to Windows Media Player list" to the context Menu of the specific file types

    I use Windows XP Professional 64-bit and I can't understand how to do this, even after hours of reading on google.

    When I right click. MP3 files or. AVI files, they give the option to context menu "Add to Windows Media Player list" but other files that I wish it would show for such as. MKV or. AAC, I can't show him for. I have searched everywhere in the windows registry and cannot for the life of understand me this.
