Media Player is supposed to recognize songs and composers, etc. ?

I haven't played a CD for a long time, but I know not what I remember that I used to be able to insert a disk in the drive and WMP would open and immediately view titles, composers and kind. Now, all I see are 'Unknown Album,' "Unknown composer" and track 1, track 2, etc.

I thought that the "metadata" have been included in the CD and that Media Player recognized them instantly. Y at - it a setting I changed which results or is it the way it is supposed to work?

WMP gets this information from the internet, not on the CD itself.

Make sure you let the checks, he needs to see what you have set up in WMP, Union, Options, Library tab.  You probably need only to set the option first as updates of Automatic media information section files - retrieve additional information from the internet.

With who has put in place, put in a CD and it should show you the tab extract, then begin to fill in the information as he finds online.

  • Media Player 12 does not recognize removable media (drive letters, sd cards, compact flash, usb, android phones drives) as a synchronized device. Running under 7 64-bit.

    Tried and tried to make it work. According to announcements of Microsoft on removable media, you can synchronize however every time I try to get Media Player 12 to sync it search devices and just empty. I have connected devices and they have drive letters in Windows Explorer. I even clicked on the link 'open as a portable device' in Windows Explorer and then went back to media player and it doesn't. I can open whatever music is on the device in the file menu in media player. In mp 11 I could synchronize throughout the day with my removable devices. I just thought they had disabled this feature until I read that you're supposed to be able to do. I connected my Samsung Captivate as memory mass and tried as well, but obviously missed. I plugged as an MTP device and in Windows Explorer, the Autoplay option is "Sync digital media files to this device using Windows Media Player". So I think this will be a safe work, I try several times, restart the computer and the phone. Recognized again in Windows Explorer, everything seems like there should be no driver issue, but Media Player still does not recognize my camera! Help!

    Update: I left a removable USB enclosure to connect for three years and a half hours. I've forgotten about it with media player running, came back and noticed, it was listed as a device in media player. So it looks like you could synchronize this right? FAKE! I dragged music to synchronize with it and the sync button is grayed. A lot of space on the device. Well, what about MP now recognizes the drive, I'll unplug the unit and then plug it back in and maybe will correct some glitch MP knows. Wrong again! New MP can't find the device! I thought that software/computers were supposed to get faster not taking 3.5 hours to connect a device and then maybe someday in the future, you can synchronize your device. But at this point don't still no luck. I just thought that Microsoft has decided to get rid of the features within the MP to synchronize removable devices because I could never get this far until reading last night it is supposed to work with key cards, usb sd and removable media. After having no luck in getting MP to reconnect to my USB stick, I erased the cache device thinking that would help, but no, he didn't.

    Another update: when I connect my phone as a MTP device, AutoPlay rises and there is an option to synchronize with Windows Media Player. When I click on this option, MP opens and then said: "searching for devices" and never find the "SGH-I897" (Samsung Captivate). Anyway if I go up as mass storage or the DPW Windows device sees and I can move the files, but cannot get the Media Player to find it or recognize it! It should be simple enough for where Windows Media Player should be.

    It worked for me, once put into automatic I clicked on the Start button and the rebooted enumerator. I restarted WMP and there was my flash drive in the synchronization domain.

    Thank you!!

  • My Windows Media Player does not automatically recognize when a disc is placed in the disc drive.

    Media player from Windows

    Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

    FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial

    is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

    If you could play before commercial video DVD...
    do a system restore to a time before this started

    Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

  • Media Player does not save purchased songs - have to buy songs from Zune. Help!

    I still have to buy Microsoft Zune songs because they don't transfer to Microsoft Media Player. Here are the songs I bought. Some more than once! Shouldn't not those PAID for the transfer of songs on my Media Player program for safety? What I really need to copy songs paid on a CD in order to save? This seems nuts because it's all Microsoft products that I use. I am so tired of paying the same songs over and over again. My research for answers, what I get this day of Microsoft's "back it up because we do not allow you to download the song again".  I really hope you can help. Two hours to get help on the web resulted in nothing.

    Hi ROB,

    This error message you receive when you try to play the songs in Windows Media Player?

    If you try to copy files to another computer then the file will not play.

    You can re - download songs via Zune. For more information, see this link.

    With media player, do you mean Windows Media Player?

    WMP is not supported with built-in support for sync with an iPod. However, you may install a third-party plug-ins listed in the http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/Sync.htm to add this support.

    Alternatively, you can also use iTunes, or built-in iPod support to Winamp for synchronization.

  • My recently downloaded Windows Media Player 11 play dvd, audio cd and cd rom, but will not recognize two photos of the dvd which have been able to acknowledge by Media Player 10 and record of the Explorer Windows-with some difficulty

    1. Windows Media Player 10 has opened a photo successfully dvd but a message "Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close" came on the screen several times.  Had to re insert the dvd picture, but it would open again each time.
    2. Tried the cd drivers and troubleshooting dvd and was informed of my dvd could not be played because there was no decoder for dvd.  Following instructions and chose a windows xp approved decoder pack download - dvd has chosen the Roxio CinePlayer DVD Decoder Pack.
    3. Then upgraded the media player to Windows Media Player 11.
    4. After that, dvd and cd rom could be opened by the media player 11, but neither the DVD or cd ROM readers would recognize the photo DVD in question had been inserted into one of these discs, and even less to be opened by the media player.
    5. Program scanner and photo used to transfer my photos printed digitally on a dvd are trademarks of Hewlett-Packard.  Contact the center of the photo, but they could not provide me with any guidance or even particular HP photo program they used to create the dvd picture.  I remember the photos were stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11.

    "" I remember well, the pictures are stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11 ""

    Looks like you have a data dvd, which has just the pictures on it and it will not be seen by WMP, who needs a dvd-video disc.

    It should always open in windows Explorer and you should be able to see your pictues it.

  • Windows Media Player is lagging during the game and songs to jump.

    Just today, my Windows Media Player started acting odd. When I play a song, it will appear to freeze, but after 5 seconds or so, it starts to play. It's the same thing when to jump tracks. She also takes about 5-10 seconds to stop playback when I hit the break. When it does not freeze, he says 'Changing Media' in the lower left corner. This problem does not occur when I use a reading list, it is quite normal, it doesn't seem to be a problem when reading my library. I don't have any problems with other media players, such as iTunes or VLC player.

    I've been looking for a solution online and most of the people with a very similar problem to mine fixed by disabling audio enhancements, but this has not worked for me. This problem has just appeared from nowhere. The only recent change to my computer is a new keyboard, a Logitech G15. I've hung yesterday evening and was listening to music without any problem. But when I turned on my computer today, I was greeted with this problem. I plugged my old keyboard, thinking that he could be the problem, but still no solution.
    I'm out of ideas. Any idea of what the solution may be? If this can help, my computer running an AMD Phenom II X processor 4 955 with 8 GB of RAM and my sound is crossing a Radeon 6850 through HDMI on my monitor.
    Thanks for any help.
    [EDIT]
    I just noticed that Windows Media Player stops is when I close. The window closes, but I can always see it used in the process, and I have to close it it so that it can turn off completely. Do not know what is causing that.

    Nevermind, I finally thought to it. The software for the keyboard activated something called "windows media player gadget for windows sideshow. This seems to be causing the lag. I went to the Windows Sideshow and disabled options program for my keyboard.

  • Windows media player will rip the first song on a disk and then crashes is tearing the 2nd song on the disc...

    The use of the CPU usually falls to zero when this happens... it was working fine yesterday...

    Hello
     
    What changes have been made to your computer before the problem?
     
    I would like you to do the following.
     
    Step 1:
     
    Open the Windows Media Player settings troubleshooting utility and check if this helps solve the problem.
     
    Step 2:
     
    I also suggest you to reduce the speed of extraction of the parameters.
     
     
    Step 3:
     
    If the above steps fails, then perform the clean boot procedure to check whether a third-party program installed on the computer is the origin of the problem. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of third party software.
     
     
    Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual.
  • Media Player 11 not to recognize length of mp3 files

    Until a week ago, everything was great with wmp 11. Then all of a sudden I have more the length of track to one of my mp3s in my library. If I play a piece of the library, the scroll bar down does not recognize the length. When I try to move the scroll bar, it just goes back to zero and restarts the song. If I go to a playlist and play, track lengths appear and the scroll bar works correctly. But as soon as I go back to the library, the legnths disappear. I can not burn CD because wmp cannot detect the lengths of track. I can add playlists to the burn list only after that I play. But I can't make a "mix" of various songs from other playlists or the library. Any suggestions?
