• Print Media Player 12 library

  I want to be able to print a list of CDs that are in my Windows Media Player 12 library.

  Is there a Power Toy or something for this?

  Maybe I can export a file in Word or Excel?

  Hi WebDad,

  Power Toys was for Windows Media Player 7 and Windows XP support. Microsoft is yet to come with a tool that supports this, as he has done for Windows Media Player 7. However, you can have a look at this link which is for Windows Media Player 7 on Windows XP. http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/BonusPack/PowerToys.aspx

  Here, he talks about how to import/export a playlist from Windows Media Player to Excel.

• 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.

• 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.

  I then could open WMP and add my network via the feature folder successfully organize.

  Trobleshooter told me that the files were corrupt but did not say who. Subsequent verifications and bugs says everything was ok, but this is not the problem is still there.

• Windows Media Player - corrupted library

  Separated from this thread.

  EIS,

  I am running Windows 7, 64-bit home etsur and have Windows Media Player V12.

  I have two big problems with WMP, the first is a library corrupt - I can not add properly

  files to the library.  The other problem is that WMP will not successfully "apply media

  Change information after I used the "Update Album Info" feature for albums that have been properly added. It evokes the

  bar of progression, says it is 100% complete, but there has been no change in the Explorer of W...
   
  As part of an attempt to solve the first problem I tried everything that follows, (not in this)

  ranking).

  Convenience store of the Player library run Media 1.).

  2.) run Media player troubleshooting utility parameters.
  3.) and then, if necessary, run [alt - t], advanced tool, restoration of the library
  4.) remove the WMP to force a complete rebuild - close WMP library database in the start menu

  engine search box type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in Windows explorer which

  seems to remove all files (but not the subfolders). See if that solved the problem.
  5.A) Unload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

  on or off, multimedia, clear features checkbox Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.
  5b.) Reload WMP - control panel programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

  On or off, characteristics of media, select the Windows Media Player box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

  After 2). I thought that the first problem was resolved that 120 new albums ("unknown") have been

  successfully added, but I noticed that there are a few folders that were not added and

  cannot be added manually. Verification of the files that are included with the library management is not helping either. And the second problem persists.

  If you can offer any new help, I would appreciate it.

  Hi Steve, this is certainly the WAV format that's your problem. WAV is generally very bad marking support: WMP only WAV files tags once wrote during extraction, and they is not editable later. For more information, see

  http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/wav.htm

  There is no need to re - tear the relevant albums that you can only convert WAV files to another format using a tool like dBpoweramp. Recommended formats are MP3 or WMA Lossless if you do not want quality loss.

• Files Windows media player list pane and wav

  During playback of the files audio wav media player try to read the label at the beginning of the file (which is absurd in many cases because of the lack of support of the tag embedded in this format) instead of displaying the name of the file in the list pane, which obviously contains the title of the song.  It is unthinkable that there is no adjustment or the solution to this problem.

• 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?

  (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.

Click on the 'OK' button and wait for the dialog box "Add to library by searching computer" to open it.
