Media Player reproduces all the music and playlists when I open it.

Original title: Media Player over-population

Since last summer, I bought a new computer, the W7 Media Player reproduces all my music and playlists, when I open it.  He can make it up to 5 times.  I watched or a means of control of files it is seeking.  I tried to "withdrawal" title and duplicate files.  They come back with a vengeance every time. How can I stop this?

Hi Dwight,.

Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll certainly try and help you in the matter of fixing.

1. you have any security program installed in the computer?

2. are you aware of any changes made to the computer before the show?

You can run the Troubleshooter to library and check. You can also run the Windows Media player settings Troubleshooter and check if it helps.

I suggest to fix the Windows Media database as it might have become corrupted.

Method 1: To do this, follow these steps:

a. exit Windows Media Player.

b. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.

c. 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.

d. 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. If you run Windows 7, click Start, run, % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

c. Select the folder Media Playerand then click delete on the file menu.

d. restart Windows Media Player.

Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

Hope this helps and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones accidentally hidden all the music and photos from my phone?

    So I got my blackberry to my computer and I tried to download pictures of her. There was some hidden that I couldn't so I decided to look around and see if I could find them. I have the blackberry from the folder right click after I selected the device from my computer. I then in properties and accidentally selected option check box to see only the hidden, or something to that. Now when I look on the device, all files are gone including camera, music photo, everything is not a single folder, listed in the unit when it is connected to my computer. And therefore all the photos on my camera, even if not connected to my computer and music are lost. Please help me to retrieve all my music and photos that I stupidly lost.

    On your computer you need to make sure it's set to show hidden files.

  • Media Player deletes all the songs that were added just for the external drive

    I am using Windows 7 media player. I start the media player and my music list is empty.  Media Player begins to add songs to my portable media player. After adding songs it removes so all of the songs added.  What I can do to keep the songs is the library?

    Hello

    1. have you tried to play the songs of the external hard drive?
    When you remove the external hard drive, you will lose the library of the media player library list, it's the design of the media player library and this is how it works in the location list monitoring.

    However, if you want to keep the music files in the library even after having remove the external HARD drive, you do not delete the location in the location tracking list. You can add the location to avoid the problem.

  • Windows Media Player cannot see the music files, but Realplayer works perfectly - what is happening?

    I am under w7 pro on a laptop, after the death of my desktop pc. After transferring my music files, I found that wmp is not working properly, although realplayer works perfectly. I prefer wmp, but it simply doesn't. The symptoms are:
    1. it shows all media in the library even if the music library is full of music when seen with explore.
    2. If I select a file in Explorer, it will play in wmp and is added to the library, but no other files cannot be added.
    2. library management does not work because after pressing 'manage libraries', then 'music', nothing else appears.
    3. There is no sheet set for extraction of the files (just a white in the location box) and 'change' has no effect.
    I tried the troubleshooting fix, which simply says that my mediaplayer library is corrupt, but nothing else.
    I also tried to remove appsdata/microsoft/mediaplayer files and even entire directory after checking the tips from microsoft on the net for another user. WMP is
    supposed to automatically rebuild the library and start again, but she just starts with a library empty unless any of the symptoms above are fixed.
    I understand that wmp cannot be uninstalled and reinstalled, if anyone has any suggestions for my next step? As I said, the music library itself should be fine as Realplayer works very well.

  • Windows Media Player 12 deletes the songs in library when I add missing album art

    It is a question that I need answered about two weeks ago, but I just figured out how to fix it. Just go to your folder my music. Find the missing pieces of the library. Select all, right click and select Properties. Clear the hidden check box and click on apply and then OK. Select all the songs, right click and add all the songs in windows media. The songs should be added to the library soon. So if you encounter the same problem, I hope this helps you. I don't know if this is a bug or what, but it's annoying. It also deletes the songs with boxart.

    Note: I've already deleted the database and rebuilt so no that will not solve the problem.

  • Why media player come to the top of any file I opened

    I have two connections to the administrator and the other for Donald PORZEL. WHEN I CHOSE MY DONALD PORZEL CONNECTION REGARDLESS OF

    ICON I CLICK ON MEDIA PLAYER COMES UP why is it happening?

    Hey Donald,.

    This can occur if the user account is corrupted or the file association for eash program has been changed or a virus issue.

    -Remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    -What Antivirus software is installed on the computer?

    Here are a few things you can try to solve this problem.

    1. run the file association fixit from the following link and the check, if that makes a difference.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

    Note: The steps mentioned in the case of link with the registry, therefore better to have a backup.  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    2. start a Virus scan to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Safety Scanner WARNING: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    3. If the problem reappears, then try to create a new user account and check if the problem persists there.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/create-a-user-account

    If the problem does not reappear in the new user account, then move the contents of the old user account, and then delete the old user account.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    Follow the steps in the section "to copy files to the new user profile.

    To delete the user account, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/delete-a-user-account

  • How to disable the pop up "Windows Media Player cannot download the information on the media... "after the extraction of a CD without activation of network connectivity.

    When I copy a CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message pop up after the investigation period is over: "Windows Media Player cannot download the media for this CD information. The other titles, artist, and album will be identified as "Unknown" in your library. For best results, connect to the Internet or manually add media for CD information. »

    I know that the message appears when I turn on the setting to allow WMP to connect to the internet to get information about the media, but I don't want WMP does. What I want is a button I can push on the pop-up that says "don't show this message again" (similar to the warnings seen in internet explore). How can I disable this pop-up window without activating the internet connection option.

    In case you're wondering, the data from the internet are incompatible in the naming convention so when I rip an audio book, so I can listen to my mp3 player, I can't completely post-processing script because not all of the disks in a set have a coherent on the slopes or even name the disc etc. At least drives marked 'Unknown' is consistent and so easy to script for the reduction to a single MP3 file.
