    Hello

    1. is the specific issue of the reading list?

    2 are you able to add other songs in the Windows Media Player library?

    3 did you changes to the computer before the show?

    The Player library is the location in the player that lists all of the music, videos and photos on your computer.

    When you play a media file on your computer or a removable storage device, the file is automatically included in the Player library, so you can access it directly from the reader. And if you have access to remote media stored on other computers on your network, you can change the player settings to add those files remotely to the Player library when you play them. The reader does not automatically add a file that you play from removable media, such as a CD or DVD.

    Since you aren't able to add songs to the library, you can try the following and see if they help.

  • Music files are not listed in the Windows Media Player library

    Music files were deleted from Windows Media Player. The need for a Solution.

    AT & T Communication Manager, who gets my mobile internet card online, asked if he could deal with some updates.  I had only had the camera for a few days and assumed he was talking about some AT & T software.

    Next thing I know he turned my internal computer to the outside.  Washed and folded it carefully but seems threw things into the pockets now.  I had to hunt for my documents, but a lot of things are different, changed my toolbars, settings on Open Office.  Cannot access some files.  He was asked to record a program I had a lot of time.  Nothing in the Windows Media Player I had the program adds a big chunk of my record mp3 files music.  But I think that much of the music in my eMusic account, which now has nothing in it, can be conveniently added (unless I'm going one by one I think).  Moreover, my eMusic Download Manager is empty.

    I want to reverse sync my mp3 player but don't know how.  Should I get Windows Media PLayer 11?  I have Vista.

    Thank you very much.  And if you can help without talking over my head I would appreciate it.

    Hey Asher,

     
    1 are the music files on the physical hard disk?
     
    Step 1: If music files are present on the hard drive, then we can manually add the files to themedia player library or create playlists accordingly.

    Step 2: If the files are not deleted permanently from the hard drive, then restore the computer to an earlier time should help. To restore the computer to an earlier time when everything worked well, try the following steps.
    a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    b. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
    c. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
    d. click Finish.

  • I have a problem with access to a file on the computer.

    Original title: the file

    So I had to change my hard drive and to save some very important files, I moved the on a remote hard drive.

    Now my PC is fixed and I am back to copy my files. Always a single document is causing me problems. It seems that I put some access for special leave, and now I can't do anything with the file.
    I can't copy it, open well through my new ACC etc, I have full access.
    Please help me! This file is very important for me
    Please help me! This file is very important for me

    This would happen if the special file is encrypted. You need the encryption certificate that you want to copy, and then open it.

    If this file is extremely important to you, have you considered everything backs up? Are you aware of the rule that a file that is not saved is a lost file? It's only a matter of time. Unfortunately many people don't know the need for a process of backup appropriate until after a major disaster.

  • Can't my downloaded music to open in Windows Media Player and Make Playlists in Windows Media Player

    Up to what a few days ago, I could download music (mp3)... put them in files... so being able to move to Windows Media Player and create playlists. The songs are all had small blue and white MP3 icon.  It was great. Didn't matter if they come from youtube or has been downloaded sites and e-mail.

    I had a virus and just had the computer repaired and recharged.  Now all the mp3 files have the Red helmet icon and play on the music app.  I really don't like this app and would like to change back to the old icon mp3.  The computer has always had Windows 8 with the music app, but it never came in the image before. I know that Windows Media Player is not the best, but it worked great for what I had with my music.  It seems that I can't do playlists on the media player more... He goes to the application of music and play on xbox music.

    Please help me to recover from my years 50 era mp3. (I'm not a 'great' computer person, so I'd appreciate any help)

    Thank you very much...

    Hi Paul,.
     
    The probable cause of this problem could be due to the 'Windows Media Player' is not defined as music player by default on your computer.
     
    In Windows 8, Windows Media Player is more the default program to open files of music such as MP3 files.  If you want to make sure Windows Media Player is the multimedia player by default as if it was in previous versions of Windows, please follow the methods in the links below.
