How to view duplicates in windows media player to delete these files
Hello
If you have duplicates in Windows Media Player library, you can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it helps you to solve the problem.
Step 1:
To do this, follow these steps:
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.
3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click 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.
Step 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. If you are running Windows 7, click Start, run, % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.
4. restart Windows Media Player.
Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
Note: Before performing the steps above, I suggest to save the songs and try the steps above.
If this is not enough and you want to remove duplicate files there are third-party application to do the job. You can search your favorite search engine and download third-party software to remove the tracks twice in Windows.
WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE
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.
It works perfectly well and appears on our windows vista computer and the old 32-bit windows xp computer, but it does not appear on my new current.
How I'd go about adding this choice "Add to Windows Media Player list" when I right click on. MKV and. AAC files?
If possible, I would like to do this without having to install any software. I don't have a problem with the registry change and prefer it if possible.

is there a simple guide on how to use Windows Media Player to play MP3 files on a Web site
I'm designing a simple website to a friend. They are singers and want 3 or 4 songs sample of people to listen to on the site.
What is the easiest way to do this (I m not technical, it should be easy to understand)
Idea is that the user accesses the page and chooss a song they click and hear 30-45 seconds of a recorded sample (MP3 file)
Strive to do that. I thought it would be easy but can't seem to find a simple way to do it.
Can it be done using Windows media player (records are MP3 files in the Player Windows Media.
Help appreciated

If you have a music video, your friends sing you could install a flash drive on the Web site. If it is just an audio file, you must download the file to a file free host then post a link to the file on the Web site. If Windows Media Player comes into play depends on what media player the person clicking the link used as their default media player. Windows Media Player will play no role in the file on your website. The link below contains a list of free audio files, hosting sites. There are many others that you can find with a simple search on Google.

Original title: CD corrupts and burn it
When I go to burn a cd with the music on this topic in windows media player, it starts very well. When it gets to 70-80% it stops and a window opens with this message.
"Windows Media Player cannot burn the files. If the burner is busy, wait until the current task is complete. If necessary, check that the burner is connected properly and that you have installed the latest device driver. »
There is nothing burn but these files. I made sure there was nothing waiting to be burned. I closed all the other windows. I lowered the speed at which it burns. Nothing works I've looked up online. WMP is updated too.
I can burn files very well. Photos and documents, I have a problem with. It cannot therefore the CD burner (not completely, anyway). I can listen to the songs on the CD where it suddenly stops.
If anyone has had this problem, a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

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!
