• I deleted the files in computer music but they always appear in the media player library.

  original title:

  I deleted the files in computer music but they always appear in the media player library. When I try to remove/delete, nothing happens. run convenience store and he said that my library is corrupt. How can I fix it? I want to just erase all the library song! They do not even play because I already deleted files from computer!

  Hello

  1st solution of Tim De Baets:

  "You probably need to reset the library to get rid of the files in the library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

  -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. »

• Try to remove deleted files from the Media Player library

  There are video files in my Windows Media Player library that I deleted, but items still appear in my video library.  When I right click on the file and choose 'Remove', nothing happens.  The video files were originally in the folder my music and I deleted them using the Explorer.  However, they still appear in the Media Player library (even if they are not functional - because I have deleted!).  I followed what Umesh suggested GregRN, but that doesn't seem to work for me.  How can I get rid of deleted files appear in the Media Player library?   I use a HP Pavilion dv4 using Windows 7 (64-bit).

• BlackBerry Q10 half of my music files are not appearing in the media player

  I have a Q10 and have some music on it recently. The problem is that only 3-6 random pieces appear in each album. If I use the file manager, I can see them there and the phone can read files in this way however they do not show in media player, even in a search. I have...

  tried to re-marking of media files.

  delete tags in multimedia files.

  I did a battery pull,

  I did a reset,

  I took the sd card,

  deleted from the sd card

  and I tried a different version of the media such as mp3, wma, wav...

  and the same thing guard again. I used a program of re-marking of the media and made each album still under same tags, the album art and all so I find it strange that some songs on the album appear and others not. Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

  I'm adding files on my SD card via mass storage copy and paste.

  Hello

  It could be the cache.

  32 GB memory cards or less, Yes, it is FAT32
  If your memory card format is a 64 or 128 GB, exFAT.

  If you want to, try to copy all your files, (do not copy the BlackBerry system such as files .crypt files) format the card and copy again.

• Cannot add files/folders to the Media Player library

  Hello.  New user of Windows Media Player (WMP) here.  Using Vista business so I think I have Media Player 11.

  I have MP3 (converted M4a format) files on an external hard drive.  WMP will play them very well, but I can't seem to add them to the "library".  I tried to manually add the folder to the external hard drive, these files are in the folders that WMP scans to add items.  When I press 'OK', WMP seems analysis this folder added (it shows some 3 000 scanned files), but it only shows nothing added to the library.

  I cannot rip from CD for this external hard drive and WMP looks ID, create folders and copy the songs to the disc hard drive very well (AND add them to the library very well).  But I can not "RIP" these MP3 files anywhere... "RIPPING" seems to be only for the files on CD and the computer.

  I must be missing something simple!  Is it possible to add these existing MP3 files to my library?

  Thank you!

  Your library has probably been corrupted, so it needs to be reset, by following the instructions for WMP 11 Vista at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary . Note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too.

  After the reset of the library, add the folder music on the external hard drive to the list of WMP watched folders.

  (1) did you make any changes before the show?

  You can rebuild the Media Player library which should deal with the issue.

  a. Click Start, click Run, type %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.

  b. 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.

  c. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 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, run, type %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\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.

  Please let me know the status of the issue. I will be happy to provide you with the additional options that you can use to get the problem resolved in Microsoft Windows.
