Location of the song lose Windows media player

Every month or two, whenever I try to play a few songs, Windows Media Player will give me an error saying it can't find the file. I have not moved one of my songs and I know exactly which folder it is in and how to get there. The most annoying part is that there is only a 50% chance that it will still add the song to the library. Rarely, it will give me the option to find. I made the mistake to click once on 'remove these items from the library' and he has deleted nearly a quarter of my songs. I tried to rebuild the library by removing the AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media record player and it did not help.

Hello

As you tried to rebuild the library Windows Media Player (WMP) and still the problem persists, you can now try uninstalling and reinstalling WMP and see if that makes a difference.

Steps to follow:

a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click programs and then click turn on turn Windows features on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
b. click on media features, uncheck Windows media Player uninstall and click ok.
c. restart the computer, follow the same procedure and control Windows media Player to install.

  • Change the song in Windows Media Player

    How can I change the duration of a song?  The song is more than 4 minutes long and I need, may not be more than 2 minutes, 30 seconds.  I want to change the song while keeping the words.
    Is it possible that I can do this?

    Thank you for your quick response.  It is a "lip sync" in my school for girls.  Songs will be cut to the level of the mark 2 1 / 2 minute otherwise previously modified in this song leaves a lot of little words and music.
    Is it better or rather easier than the other?  I always open the song in WMP?

  • Receive the message error "Windows Media Player cannot extract one or more tracks from the CD"

    Original title: Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 8 - will not tear, will not allow rip parameter changes

    Recently started Windows Media Player displays this error message when I tried to rip CDs: "Windows Media Player cannot extract one or more tracks from the CD." When I checked the rip settings, I found that no location has been chosen, even if I had chosen a location when I first set up WMP over a year ago. When I clicked on the "Change location" button, nothing happened, so I'm not able to choose a file location. I downloaded and Fix It (http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows-media-player-diagnostic-Windows-8/en-us) from Microsoft allows WMP and the library, hoping this would solve the problem, but the problem persists. After that, I also found that none of the rip settings can be changed, not only the location of the file. I get an error message that "ripping settings could not be applied" when I try to change anything on the tab music Rip under Options. I found a support of forum responses that mention a registry fix but does not provide any details on how to achieve this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Ripping allows you to put the titles of your audio CD on your PC. When you rip the tracks, they become digital files on your PC.

    There are two places in the Player library where you can customize your settings and better to make ripping work:

    • In the Rip settings menu (with less choice customization).

    • In the Options dialog box (with several choices of customization).

    Method 1: run the tool library, Windows Media Player and Windows Media Player settings and check if the extraction is possible.

    Step 1:

    a: press the logo Windows + O to open the search box.
    b: Type Troubleshooting, press ENTER.

    c: now, click on programs.

    d: and then click Windows Media Player  library.

    Step 2:

    a: press the logo Windows + O to open the search box.
    b: Type Troubleshooting, press ENTER.

    c: now, click on programs.

    d: and then click Windows Media settings.

    Method 2: Perform the steps from the link below and see if it helps.
