missing length in media player

Most downloaded music on my player display length. Some do not and even if can be added to the reading lists, can be quickly transmitted or burned on a CD. Can someone tell me what to do to fix this.

Hi DaveCresdee,

This can happen if the management of digital rights (DRM) is corrupted or the songs are downloaded from an unauthenticated server which could have broken the DRM. As a result, some of the files cannot be fast forwarded or burned on a CD.

  • Why windows guide media is missing from windows media player using windows 8?

    Windows icon is not on my windows media player why not am I missing something? I like listening to the radio stations on the list.

    Why was the link to the deleted Media Guide site?  You broke something which worked well - nice work MSFT.

    Agree with Elroy - navigate to the "... windowsmedia.com" is simply another stage that was not necessary in the past.

    There is a partial solution.  1. go to the wondowsmedia.com site.  2. an internet radio station, click on listen--> WMP should open and start playing the station.  3. in WMP, on the right side, drop down and click "view list".  Must be the name of the radio station.  4 save the Radio station list (will appear in the playlists in the future).  5. While you listen to other stations, you can click with the right button on the station name in the window of the list and add it to your playlist registered.  6. your saved playlist (Internet radio) becomes your link to play directly from WMP.

    Again, not a full solution (it cannot browse stations w / in WMP), but if you have some Favorites, above is a way to hear directly from WMP.

  • When using Media Player Classic, can not find DVD

    When I try to play a dvd with media player classic, I got an error message saying cannot find DVD

    Hello yoyo2,.

    1. you have the same problem when you try to open the files with Windows Media Player?

    2. does this problem occurs during playback all DVD with Media Player classic or any particular DVD?

    This problem can be caused if the Media Player classic is able to play the DVD and does not support the file on the DVD format. Check the format of the files you are trying to play on the DVD, because it might have associated with missing codecs in Media Player Classic. Also, let us know if you have the same problem with Windows Media Player.

    Hello

    I have no sound through Windows Media Player and also a player from Youtube and BBCi.  I have the following error message, please notify :-)

    You met the C00D10D1 error message when you use Windows Media Player. The following information can help you resolve the problem.

    Codec is missing

    Windows Media Player cannot play the file (or can't play the part of the file either audio or video) because theMP3 - codec MPEG Layer III (55) is not installed on your computer.

    Hello
     
     
    1. What is the file type or extension that you try to play?

    If you get a message stating that your computer is missing a codec, you are probably trying to play, burn, or sync a file that was compressed by using a codec that does not include Windows or the default player. You will need to download codecs.

    Hello

    When I try to access Windows Media Player, I get the message that the file, the path or device is not accessible, and I can't have permission.

  • How can I access my music files through Windows Media Player?

    OK, here's the facts:
    I have Windows Vista.
    Most of my music in my music is missing.
    I can view and listen to the music of "missing" in Windows Media Player (library).
    In Windows Media player, if I click on a song and 'open file location' need me for my music, and the file is not there.
    Looking for songs via the start menu or through my computer does not work.
    MP3 audio files are also missing.

    Not having access to the original files, I can't add music files individually to my mp3 (Windows Media Player lets you synchronize files only, and I don't want to lose a part of the 'missing' files I have on my mp3 using the Sync feature).

    How can I access my music? Clearly, it is still on my computer somewhere since I can play through Windows Media Player.

    Hello

    Step 1: Check what all records are controlled by the player. Then check these records, if the music file is present.

  • Missing Windows Media Player plug-in

    Welcome to the Sony sponsored the Forums of Discussion user:

    Web videos Windows Media Player require additional plugin software that adds specific functionality to enable items to use. Additional plug-in software requires more memory. However, the internal memory of the device of Internet TV is designed only to be used to store data of the pre-installed applications. For this reason, Windows Media Player can not play.

  • WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER... Missing codecs

    My windows media player use to play DVD & VCD but now missing the codec so can't watch these now. Download the codecs but them uninstalled as apparently do IE, Media Player etc unstable. Is anyone able to help with this please... Thanks :)

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in this forum. I understand that DVD is not playing in Windows media player, installed some codecs but these codecs were Internet Explorer unstable. Let us know if it's the misunderstanding of the question.

    A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

    A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

    For example, when you rip a song from an audio CD on your computer, the player uses the default Windows Media Audio codec to compress the song into a compact WMA file. When you play that WMA file (or any WMA file that may be broadcast from a Web site), the player uses the codec Windows Media Audio to decompress the file for music can be played through your speakers.

  • 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?

  • Windows Media Player 11 under WinXP missing labels

    Windows Media Player 11 under WinXP SP3 appears as the old WMP 10 with the classic menus.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled WMP11.  The current version is 11.0.5721.5280.

    I wish I could attach a screenshot.

    All that shows is the elements of 'classic' menu file/View/Play/Toos/help.

    The large black tabs for <- -="">Now Playing | RIP | Library | Burn | Sync | Media Guide are missing.

    Enter ctrl-M to the classic menus doesn't change anything.

    By clicking on the small icon to go to the 'full' mode does nothing.

    How WMP to display the user interface of new type.  I have another computer running WinXP SP3 with WMP11 which works as expected, and I can't seem to find out what is different.
