Library of Windows Media Player 11 is not displayed

I have problems to make my library is displayed in media player 11. I am running XP. I have a connected external hard drive that I use with all my music on it.  I have the HD shared to some people on a network, if that means anything. Suddenly the other day, my library files have disappeared. I can't add files to the library more and all those who have been monitored have disappeared.  I looked at on the basis of knowledge who told me to go running, launch, user profile, local settings, application, microsoft, media player data and delete the files from the database because they are corrupt. However, I can not delete this file because a message appears saying the file is in use and cannot be deleted. I have no other programs running when I do and I tried after reboot etc so I do not know which hangs on this file. Can someone tell me how to get rid of this file, then media player can rebuild the corrupted file? Or is there something else I should be doing or not doing? It's driving me crazy! I need my music! Help!

  • When I copy a CD in Windows Media Player 11 does not apply media information.

    With the XP sp3 operating system, I rip the CD purchased and Windows Media Player 11 does not apply media information. Either he gives and error saying that it cannot be done because I am not connected to the internet while I'm connected, or it can recognize my internet connection, but I have to do a manual search and manually apply the name of each track, even if they are present and order under each line I have to click to match the name of the correct track.

    It's so frustrating to have to fight manually for applied information on the media which is clearly presented, and after all, album art that shows correctly in the finder info media constantly refuses to fill in the library and I have to go to a separate Web site and copy and paste it in. Yes, he found elsewhere on the internet, with the help of the connection which was present all along!

    It's crazy, the info is already there! And why do I go online in any case the info is in the CD? This doesn't seem to be a problem with the previous players. Please provide a fix for this useless, frustrating dinosaur, waste of time, a process!

    Hello rockys_rod,

    To fix it, simply remove your old library files. Then have Windows Media Player find your new files. It will not destroy your music files.

    How to get WMP to re - index your music:

    1. close Microsoft Media Player.
    2. click on Start and then run
    3. in the box, type the following:
    [list] %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player

    4. click on OK and a folder containing your library files will be displayed
    5. delete all files ending with .wmdb
    6. open Microsoft Media Player
    7. press F3
    8. Select the addresses of your music files
    9 WMP will re-index your music.

    If this does not help, try the FixIt in the article below:
    KB Article ID: 947541 -Windows Media Player stops responding after you install a third-party product that registers its own version of the Wmp.dll file

    Please reply back and let us know if this can help.

  • Where it stores information in Windows Media Player Auto of note?

    I got a new computer and copied all of the songs from the old computer to the new. However, the automatic rating information (blue stars) was not copied to the new computer. Where could I find this information? Please help, thanks!

    Hello Peter Skipper,.

    Thank you for your response.  In the Windows Media Player library, the blue stars are automatic categorization and are controlled by non-Microsoft data providers and some online stores.  You can override an auto rating by manually choosing a new user of note (yellow star).

    The blue stars may not be transferred, although by default, most of the items in the Windows Media Player library automatically receive a rating (Blue Star).

    New tracks are self-assessment with 3 stars. When you play first a side auto track increases to 4 stars and the coast goes back only if the track is played throughout.

    You can copy your users to your new PC, however.  You can check the link below which includes information on the copy the ratings of the user for your files to your new computer.
