I deleted a single file from my Windows Media Player 11 library and now I want it in my library - how should I do this?

Am running Windows XP and removed a single file of the library only (and not from the library and my computer) and can see the file in the folder, it can play in Windows Media Player by clicking on it in the folder, but can't find a way to 'restore' the file so I can see it again in my WMP library.  Any way to do this without rebuilding the entire library?

Hi JohnEvergreen,

Follow these steps:

(a) open Windows Media Player (WMP).

(b) access to the "library". Click the menu "file" at the top of WMP. Select "Add to library" and wait for the dialog box labeled in order to pop open.

(c) restore files. Click on the 'Advanced Options' button in the dialog 'Add to library'. In the column "watched folders" make sure that the folder that contains your original music is selected, which is indicated in the column "Type" as "Rip folder. Look under the section "watched folders" and ensure that a tick is filled to "Add files previously deleted from the library." Click on the 'OK' button and wait for the dialog box "Add to library by searching computer" to open it.

(d) in the look in dialog box "Add to library by searching computer" at the 'progress' bar, indicated by a green line moving from left to right; also, below, monitor the "found files" and "added files" account.

    I want to remove the entire library in Windows Media Player 12 (running Windows 7) so I can start over with a new database. With previous versions of WMP, it was simple - I get the Media Player folder in the Local environment and remove all files (leaving the files). Now when I try to do it I get the message "cannot complete this action because the file is open in Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. Close the file and try again. "How can I do this?

    1. click on start and then click on run
    2. in the run box, type services.msc
    3. in Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service or Windows Media Connect (WMC) and then verify that the status column is started

    I have problems with windows media player 11 playing each son twice and it is very annoying.  How can I solve this problem?

    Sara: I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If its status is started, double-click on the service and click on stop.
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, delete the folder Media Player. If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

  • Windows Media Player 12 library not to rebuild

    Windows Media Player 12 library issues

    The library settings of WMP on my Win7 x 86 Ult PC appear to have corrupted after clicking on a BSOD just as I recorded a new network folder in music library settings. It was very well until now, but after the restart, will organize > manage libraries > music does not return a screen. Other libraries, such as the image will be open a screen and can be kept, but it seems that the media in these cases does not actually view.

    Restore the system to a point before the BSOD did not fix the issue.

    Running MS FixIt for Windows Media Player has not fixed the problem.

    Running sfc/scannow does not detect any problems.

    Deletion of the library and the settings deleting the folder AppData/Microsoft/Media Player did not help.

    The only possible solution I am aware of what I have not tried is to uninstall/reinstall WMP via Add or remove features - I'm reluctant to do for the simple reason that this step seems also to uninstall Windows Media Center, I receive countless hours over the past four years, get the installer of my _extremely_ preferences - and there are also of the OEM changes (its a VAIO Sony's older) as art of support and background disc changer that I would struggle to restore.

    Have to reinstall Media Center from scratch would be a disaster even greater that losing the music library, which is a fairly large disaster already.

    Someone knows some way to correct this problem _without_ lose all my settings in Media Center?

    PROBLEM SOLVED

    I noticed another possible solution in another thread and it worked - in Explorer to delete the folder music 'Libraries' section, click on the section heading 'Libraries' and select 'Restore default libraries' in the menu.
