multiple copies of each song in the playlist on Windows media player

OK here is the problem Windows media player started acting up six months ago in taking my music and doubling and tripling, so next time I opened the player instead of having a song should be 2 to 3 to 4 copies of the same song wasn't a single album it was different albums all new songs of my old songs I had before on another computer has not copied over.

It was the first problem, the second problem which began about three months ago, I started noticing the programs that I installed on the computer telling me that I had a visual experience better if I update Windows media player, not a program but several when I checked the version it has been updated.

So why if it's updated all programs says visual experience would be better if I updated the player?  so I go into troubleshooting utility to see what could be wrong.  When is the troubleshooting he wants to restore default I very well it but it never gets done and the problem does not get resolved?  Convenience store also happens with configuration parameters are defined bad convenience store as soon as the defect does not solve the problem if any body knows how to solve this problem Windows player plays correctly, but it is very tiring having to remove 300 songs because they have doubled and tripled.  My operating system is Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit Windows media player as I can tell is number 11 and a updated version of programs that are installed on my computer tell me to update? I have other programs that do also video just need to know why Windows media player is not compatible or apparently not compatible with other programs? no response would be good any help would be nice.

Help, help, help, help, please.

Hi Ken

I see that you have not been offered help with this yet, so we'll see if we can get something going on!

Firstly if you have Windows 7 you must run WMP 12. You run automatic updates from MS?

In any case I want you to try is - go to "User accounts" in the control panel and together an account "number two". When this is done to insert a cd and Media Player will open and ask you to use the default settings or customize it. I had to go for custom parameters and in the quality of at192mbps "rip music" tab select mp3 or more (you can get a box pop up asking you to accept copyright laws - accept and continue)...

When he's ready, rip the cd and we'll see if this second account behaves or if you get the same problem of duplication. Looking forward to the result!

Best - R

  • Cannot drag and drop songs into the playlist in windows media player.

    We just got a new laptop with windows 7 and I guess windows media player the windows media player 12. I tried to add songs on my mp3 player.

    Original title: my songs seem to disappear from windows media player 11

    I make a playlist and some of the songs come with a "cannot find this file" dialog box I click on 'place to open the file' and the song is there but will not play. Help, I'm losing songs at an alarming rate.

    Hi Akledge,

    1. this happens only for songs with a specific file format?

    2. What is the full error message that you receive?

    3. have you made a recent software or hardware changes to the system?

    Method 1:

    You can try to start the Windows Media Player (WMP) Fixit from link and check if it helps:

    Solve the problems of Windows Media Player video and other media or library

    For more information, see the article:

    Error message when you type the name of a file to play with Windows Media Player: "Cannot open file."

    Method 2:

    If the problem persists, you can visit the article to rebuild the WMP library and check if it helps

    You cannot view, add, or delete items in the library of Windows Media Player 11

  • Playlists with windows media player

    So, I already searched and couldn't find anything to help solve my problem.  I'm not the person most computer savy in the world, but cannot understand why it won't work.

    I can create a playlist in windows media player - select this option to synchronize, he says he has been synchronized, but the list of playlist in my rocket was simply the golis.  In MTP mode, nothing happens, in MSC mode, I just get a second copy of the song in the same file as the first, but no playlists?

    Thanks in advance

    Scotty, why not try some of the other ways to create a playlist, rather than beat their heads against the wall WMP. There are at least 2 (if not more) programs of creation of playlist created by my colleagues here (here's one) directions as well as step by step on How to do with Winamp (free version is OK).

    As I said, there are more; You should be able to flush out them easily by using search here.

    Hello

    Apologize for the delay.

    By default, playlists are saved in the folder selections, that is located in the same folder that rip you your CD (generally, the My Music folder). You can access the reading list that will display the same.

    I uninstalled Windows Media Player 11 and it is reverted to the version 9, version 9, I can burn audio CDs without problem and they play.

    Hi SupportTech2010,

    Method 1

    Check if the problem persists in mode safe mode with network mode and post back with the details.

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Method 2

    If the problem does not persist in mode safe mode with networking mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.
