  Hello

  Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community!

  If I understand correctly, you have for the songs duplicate entries in Windows Media Player.

  Please answer these questions:

  What are the options have you tried to remove duplicate entries from Windows Media Player?

  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.

  Let us try the following methods:

  Method 1: Try the following article, if you have not yet tried:

  Remove items from the Windows Media Player library:

  Method 2: See the following article:

  Open the troubleshooter in the Windows Media Player library:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-library-Troubleshooter

  Method 3: See the following steps:

  a. exit Windows Media Player.

  b. Click Start, run, type Player, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media , andclicknext OK.

  c. Select all 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.

  d. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 4: Clear the cache of database Windows Media Player files. To do this, follow these steps:

  a. exit Windows Media Player.

  b. Click Start, run, % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

  c. Select the folder Media Playerand then click delete on the file menu.

  d. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

• Duplicate in music libraries and Documents files

  Hello

  I'm running Windows 8 Professional and have noticed that all my files in my library of Documents also appear in the music library. I did not put them there they appear suddenly. If I try to cut and paste into the Documents folder I get a message

  The destination folder is the same as the source folder

  or

  The source and destination filenames are the same

  Open files in these two places, but it's annoying having files that should not be in the library of music in there.

  If I delete the folder from the music library it removes also of the document library.

  This only happens in the music library - no problem with the photos or videos to libraries.

  Appreciate someone can provide any assistance.

  Thank you, Andrew

• I just downloaded winows meïdia player 11 it won't import my music from my external hard drive

  Winows meïdia player 11 won't import my music from my external hard drive whenever I try to add files, it just seems threw? How can I get my music in my library?

  The http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925718 instructions are for WMP 11 on XP. Here are the correct steps to WMP 11 Vista: (note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too)

  -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 the service, and then click stop .
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old 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 only recognizes the song titles when they are imported from itunes, imported in the form of wav files.

  Hi, I imported/ripped music in form of wav files using WMP first and imported into itunes so that I can sync w / my ipod but itunes recognized only the first words of the music info (generally the number of song, title, ect). ITunes would allow me to change the info. So I decided to import my 7 000 more songs again using itunes, in the hope of finding the songs via watched folders to WMP. Well, that was the case, but he only identified the song number and the title. Now, I have a long list of other/unknown.

  I can get information in WMP via "Find album information", one song at a time, but that would take forever. I imported 318 songs to date. I use wav files to maintain the quality of the sound.  Can someone tell me an easier way?

• What to do with duplicate files?

  Hello. I recently installed "Disk Clean Pro" and run "find duplicate files. Most of the records found have recognizable names and so I can easily decide if they should be "cleaned" or not. However, a lot of files is a string of alphanumeric 40 who have no sense. My question is: is it 'safe' clean up these files or are important and should be left as is? Thanks in advance for your help with this. See you soon. Adrian

  If you don't know what a file is, so do not delete it. Badly designed finders only duplicate check a file name and possibly the size. But two files with the same name and size may have different content or can be in two different places for a reason. What you don't know can kill the operating system.

  How to free space on the hard drive

  1. You can remove the data from your file except for the folder/Home/Library /.
  2. Visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the free space on your hard drive.
  3. See also release space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
  4. See where my disk space gone?.
  5. Remember to empty the Recycle Bin to reclaim space.
  6. Replace the disc with a larger. Check out OWC of readers, tutorials and boxes tools.
  7. Use OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are.

• Mac question? -Duplicate file names appear once I have copy on mp3s

  It seems that although the Compatible Mac box, it was a stretch far from easy to use or Setup for a non techno.

  I figured out how to import a CD on ITunes and convert it to an mp3. Then copy it to the "rocket".

  But my problem is when I copy a song or an entire album, when I turn on the "rocket", it shows duplicate songs and duplicates are in the Unreconizable folder and do not work.

  This can become very confusing. Anyone has any ideas on how to import MP3s on a mac without getting these ghosts / duplicate files?

  If I can't understand, I guess I'll try to return it and get an IPod. No use to me like that.

  Help, please. I want to keep that player.

  Your problem is that you used the Finder to copy files to the player.  Who creates the files 'duplicate' which are really containing of Finder metadata files.  They lead the players nuts.

  I wrote a web page describing this problem and how to get an MP3 as the "rocket" to work with the Mac.  See http://guyscharf.wordpress.com/mp3-on-macintosh/ for more details.

• How do I find my personal folders for duplicate files so I can delete them?

  Over the years, I have tramsfered files work on my home computer.  I know there are several doublonnait the folders and files that I should be able to remove.  I'm looking for an easy way to do so without bringing each individual foler/files to the top and mannualy their review.  Please notify. E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  Be careful when you remove the duplicate files.  Some files are duplicated INTENTIONALLY in Windows Vista a lot unlike earlier versions of Windows (including your personal data) using things called junction points: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb968829 (VS.85) .aspx.  If you delete these files duplicated, some of your programs will stop working (and some of your data will be lost and other files will refuse to open).  The winsxs folder keeps track of system duplicate files and the different versions of the files in the system and if you delete these files, it will mess up the connections and could cause programs to stop working or system crash.

  I mean, it's be very careful that you delete TRUE duplicate files from your located in C:\Users\\Documents or... \Music or ...\Pictures or... \Videos.  Do NOT delete anything in the Documents and settings folder (stay away from this junction point).  Do not delete the system twice in different folders files because they may be needed for the work programmes which are looking for files in a specific location.  Also remember that downloaded music you paid for requires a key (which has been put in the registry when you bought the song) and if you have two copies to ensure that you do not delete the one for which the key applies (or save it on another machine or give it a slightly different name, unless you are sure you want to delete it).

  These programs will look for exact replica - no drafts of a final copy that you is no longer necessary (it won't find them because they are of different sizes, different dates and different names).  Those who will have to be done manually and I guess that's the vast majority of "duplicates" you have on your system (except if you have done some copy and paste files into different folders, until you've lost track of how many copies you did and where they were all - then programs will help.

  Good luck and I hope this helps. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

• Why can't I import my music in Windows Movie Maker?

  I tried to import my music to itunes and CD of my Windows Movie Maker, but whenever it says is "no file found".

  
  

  I tried to import my music to itunes and CD of my Windows Movie Maker, but whenever it says is "no file found".

  
  

  ===================================
  The most reliable audio format for importing into movie
  Maker is WMA.

  iTunes files need to be converted to a different format...
  WMA would be a good choice:

  Maybe the following freeware converter would be
  be worth a try:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Free Mp3 Wma Converter
  http://www.koyotesoft.com/indexEn.html
  (Mp3, Wma, Ogg, Aac, M4a, Ac3, Ape, Flac, Wav)
  (FWIW if you install the converter, you can
  Uncheck offerings from Yahoo and Dealio) (also... you
  may want to uncheck the CD Ripper and the Easy
  MP3 Cutter)

  After installing the program... open and drag and drop
  your audio files on the main screen...

  Choose a backup folder (path of output). Or just leave...
  "Save to the directory the file" checked and the new
  files will be saved in the folder with MP3 files.

  Choose a format... WMA.

  Left, click Convert.

  The CD may need to be torn... and you can
  Choose WMA as the target format.

• Could not import the music downloaded from iTunes for Windows Movie Maker.

  Could not import the music downloaded from iTunes for Windows Movie Maker.  He plays in Windows Live Movie Maker and plays on my computer.  Cannot find the codec. Tried the solution to this same question and in help.

  Hello
   
  Some audio and video file formats are not supported in Windows Movie Maker and cannot be imported. However, if you have a video or audio file that is not taken care of, you can use a non-Microsoft video editing software to convert the file into a format supported by Windows Movie Maker, and then import the video file or an audio resulting in Windows Movie Maker. Some files also require you to install a codec before you can use the files in Windows Movie Maker.
  Note: The use of 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.

• Problems of slow performance in Vista when playing music with WMP 11

  Whenever I'm playing music on WMP 11, my computer slows down briefly.

  I assume this has something to do with my sound driver/card, but don't know what.

  I use my PC sound card. I use the Logitech Z-5 speakers.

  2. do you have the updated drivers for the sound card?

  3. What is the brand and model of the computer with sound card?
