• Windows Media Player does not recognize the new downloaded songs

  I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: race AY014AA-ABA, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  I just found out that Windows Media Player does not recognize the songs, I recently downloaded from Wal-Mart music download Site.  The songs can be seen in the music library in a folder called 'Downloads' and I can open each song and he will play when double-clicked.  The problem is that I can't create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the reading list, because the songs are not listed in the Media Library Player any hot it is sorted (artist, Album, Genre, etc.).

  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Went to: start == > Control Panel == > troubleshooting == > view all == > and ran troubleshooting on the library and the settings of WMP.

  Convenience store detected library corrupt and "in media files appear in the WMP library.  Then ran convenience store on WMP settings which reset OMP to default settings.  After that, everything worked as announced.

  Thanks to Big_Dave for putting me on the right track.

• Windows Media Player does not recognize the device (iphone)

  I'm trying to download music from Windows Media Player on my iphone. I can get the files in the synchronization section but the Media Player does not recognize my device or seem to have a way to connect. Can anyone help?

  You will need to install iTunes. The iTunes Setup program adds drivers and services for the iPhone. That's what I do:

  1. Once iTunes is installed, it allows to import all the music in Windows Media Player.
  2. If you want to automatically download album art, you will need to register for an iTunes Store account. Otherwise, just copy the album art from Windows Media Player:
  a. at a command prompt, cd in each music folder.
  b. attrib s h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
  c. xcopy AlbumArt * %tmp% Large.jpg
  d. attrib + s + h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
  e e.. now, for each album in iTunes, right click and choose 'Get Info'. Drag & drop the corresponding JPG of %tmp% in the field "Cover Art" and click OK.
  3. connect your iPhone. Select "Manually manage music" on the screen of the iPhone.
  4. click on the icon on the left side of iTunes music. Make sure that all the music that you want to synchronize has an audit. (This is the default).
  5 Select and drag it to the icon of the iPhone.

• I have Windows Media Player 5.1 on a XP computer. I have a HD camcorder which creates MPEG4 files. Media Player does not recognize these. Any ideas?

  My PC is a Dell Dimension 8300 with a Pentium R4 3.00 GHz. 512 MB RAM. My PC is too old for this kind of video file?

  Hi AndyKavanagh,

  Windows Media Player does not support playback of the .mp4 file format. You can reproduce .mp4 media files in Windows Media Player when you install the decoders compatible DirectShow MPEG-4 packs.

  For more information, see the Microsoft article, and check below if it can help.

• Media Player does not recognize the CD drive.

  My windows media player stopped to recognize the CD-RW/DVD drive installed in my laptop Dell Inspiron 8600. I checked the service manager, it says: Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19). It's a samsung CDRW/DVD SN - 324 s is that the computer was shipped with the original drive?

  Hello

  19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
  drive from someone with the same model.

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

  DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
  devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer
