Is windows media player can detect the songs that are out there, more than double and remove them, or not add syncing and if so HOW?

During the synchronization of music files, you have 3 questions,

1-WHY some said files already added to the device, even if the memory card is empty?

2-is there a way to configure windows media player to detect songs appearing twice and automatically delete them or just simply not add syncing?  IF Yes please let me know how.

3-How do you stop sync everything in windows media player when in sync I put only some songs, but it always adds all the music, 5 star music AND photos?  How we prevent that?

Hello

Follow these steps and check if they help.

Step 1:

You can re-create the database of Windows Media Player and see if that fixes the problem.
 
To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
 
a. exit Windows Media Player.


b. Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.

c. Select all 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.

Step 2:


If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:
 
a. exit Windows Media Player.

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

c. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.

d. restart Windows Media Player.
 
Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

With respect to the timing, I would have you read the following article.

  • 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?

  • How can I prevent Windows Media Player rebuilds with duplicate songs, that I deleted?

    I moved my music files in Windows Media player for this computer with a 1 TB harddrive that I use just for storing music on. When I moved the music files from the computer Windows XP first putting them on a hard drive for the copy and paste and then transfer them to the hard drive of my M:\ the drive on this computer, many duplicates were transferred. I want to remove duplicates. I did this by pressing Ctrl and pointing out the duplicates and then pressing DELETE, and they are then deleted. But after that, it is a small blue arrow that goes down in the lower-right corner of Windows Media player from up and said "Equalization of the Volume" followed by the names of the songs, that is to say several times. M:\.... "For Windows Media player media recovery and rebuild as if it was before I deleted the duplicate songs? I want to also all my songs to be the mp3 type and some are mp4, so how do I fix all the songs to make them of type mp3. Thanks for any help.

    MP4 is usually a video file, I honestly didn't even know MP4 pourrait be used for audio, but this is beyond my skills.  I know that to convert files types, you will need to download a conversion program, Microsoft is no not any program that can do this.

    As for the deleted files that appears, open the Organize menu at the top of the media player, select 'manage libraries' and make sure that it is scanning the correct files.

    If the correct files are analyzed and double presents itself once again, right click on a song in double and select properties to find its location.  And then delete it from here, rather than media player directly.

  • Media Player deletes all the songs that were added just for the external drive

    I am using Windows 7 media player. I start the media player and my music list is empty.  Media Player begins to add songs to my portable media player. After adding songs it removes so all of the songs added.  What I can do to keep the songs is the library?

    Hello

    1. have you tried to play the songs of the external hard drive?
    When you remove the external hard drive, you will lose the library of the media player library list, it's the design of the media player library and this is how it works in the location list monitoring.

    However, if you want to keep the music files in the library even after having remove the external HARD drive, you do not delete the location in the location tracking list. You can add the location to avoid the problem.

  • Windows Media Player 12 deletes the songs in library when I add missing album art

    It is a question that I need answered about two weeks ago, but I just figured out how to fix it. Just go to your folder my music. Find the missing pieces of the library. Select all, right click and select Properties. Clear the hidden check box and click on apply and then OK. Select all the songs, right click and add all the songs in windows media. The songs should be added to the library soon. So if you encounter the same problem, I hope this helps you. I don't know if this is a bug or what, but it's annoying. It also deletes the songs with boxart.

    Note: I've already deleted the database and rebuilt so no that will not solve the problem.

  • Error: "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed or deleted'

    Original title: laptop won't read the music files stored on external hard drive

    I have an old Compaq laptop Windows XP, so it was out of memory I transferred everything on a Portable Seagate (500 GB) hard drive and started to access it. It's worked well for over a year, but lately, began to stop playing my music files. Absolutely everything on the hard drive opens, however, images, files and folders, but when I go into Windows Media Player, it pops up with this error message:

    Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to read, burn or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.
    I have not modified parameters or anything that moved. I used to be just able to restart the laptop, or disconnect and reconnect the hard drive and it works again, but now it or not will be not at all, or it will cut off half way through a song and then not to play anything more.
    I can't find any support for this problem because the phone reads that the hard drive is there, and everything else works. Only the music doesn't. I tried to play music on a connected USB and it works fine. I'm so confused!
