• In Win7, how move you or rename a single multimedia file or media files containing single file without causing the library of Windows Media Player become corrupt?

  I am trying to manually rearrange media in a way and records are arranged and named on my Win7 PC. I need to be able to move and rename files and folders individual.

  The problem is that the traditional method of doing such things (i.e. the cut/Paste and Rename commands in Windows Explorer) will cause the damaged Windows Media Player library. It seems that all the changes to the paths of the multimedia files must be made in the Windows Media Player interface. However, I'm unable to find options to move or rename files or folders in WMP.
  I am aware that there is a way to move and rename all the files and the folders that contain media files automatically, but not what I'm looking for. As far as I know, it does not allow me to select only the files and folders, and it offers very limited options for what could be the new places and names.
  What is the feature I want to exist in WMP? If not, is it possible to do outside WMP which will not cause the damaged WMP library? (Also, if not, why not, Microsoft?)
  Thank you

  Hello

  You can change the location of folders in Windows Explorer.
  After changing the location, I suggest you to rebuild the Windows media player library.

• Y at - it an easy way to delete the duplicate in Windows Media Player... or should I put at ease and do it manually?

  I use iTunes and another person decided I want QuickTime to be my default player... I uninstalled who and now I have duplicates of music/video/photo everywhere! It's an invasion!

  Hi K.J.Kirt,

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

  (a) output Windows Media Player.

  (b) click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

  (c), 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.

  (d) 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:

  (a) output Windows Media Player.

  (b) click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

  (c) select the folder Media Player and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  (d) restart Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 3: When you move digital media files on the computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in the library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in the library if you select the automatically add to the library when played. As a result, the library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.

  To prevent music files to be automatically added to the library:

  (a) in the Player Windows Media, on the Tools menu, click Options.

  (b) in the Player tab, clear the checkbox Add music files to library when played .

  Now, when you play music on your computer or Internet files, the file will not be added automatically to the library.

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. (((PLEASE HELP)))

  I understand that this has been a matter of repetition and I made the suggestions listed and nothing works. This just started happening, although downloading songs, and once they are finished I'm not able to play them with Windows Media Player.

  I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows Vista Home. Any suggestions? What should I chahnge how I download and save music?

  Hey Taylor09,

  You may find that you are getting this message in Windows Media Player due to one of the following reasons.

  a. you try to play a file that is not supported by the player.

  b. you are trying to play a file that the player does not support, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  Step 1:

  Confirm that you are trying to play a supported file type. The following article lists the types of files (formats) supported by Windows Media Player.

  Information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player

  Note that if you tried to play the file type is included in this table, the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  Step 2:

  Download the necessary codec to play the file.

• A library fom a deleted user account still shows in my Windows Media Player "other libraries".

  I created a couple of local user accounts on my computer that I deleted later.  Even if the user accounts are no longer on my computer, their libraries still appear in Windows Media Player "Other libraries" on my system and for other people on my network. How can I get my computer to stop sharing of libraries that do not exist?

  In fact, I don't want one of my libraries in ANY of my user accounts appears on the computers of other network users.  How do I stop sharing libraries?

  Open services.msc and find the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If you stop and disable the service, that the libraries should no longer appear on other computers.

  But if you had a deleted user who always showed upward, you will have to dig into the registry to fix. I had the same problem with a deleted user and only just found out how to remove it.
  First you must find the SID of the user removed before removing all the elements in the registry.
  Look in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. There are sub keys that represent the SIDS of the users of the system. When click on each sub-cles see you on the right side ProfileImagePath that can help determine who the user is.
  Once you have the SID go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\PREFERENCES\HME (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\PREFERENCES\HME if you use 32 bit 8 Win). Here will be locked by using the same SID you found under the ProfileList key. Delete the main folder that relates to the SID, you want to remove. To remove the SID folder, you may need to take ownership of the folder SID key.
  Then go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Player NSS\3.0\Media servers. Here will be another folder related to SID that you remove. After the two keys were removed, restart the Windows Media Player network sharing service.
