• Moving from songs in your Windows Media Library.

  This is in regards to Windows Media Player 11. I recently started to download songs from off of internet. Unforutnately sometimes songs by the same artist will appear in my library under several names. For example, a song can be placed in the library under the correct name of the artist, the next song may be under a slightly different name (due to a misspelling) and other songs may be under unknown artists or others, for me at least, for unknown reasons. I would like to know if there is one way, other than to create a Playlist, to put these songs under different names in one common name (preferably the correct name of the artist). Now, sometimes I have to go search the library to find where the artists of the same songs have been placed in the library.

  Hello

  Unfortunately the playlist is the only way that will help you to organize the music files and media on Windows media player. Since you have the names of the different tracks for the same artist, the files will eventually show as different entities. Automatic selection is an option that you should look for.

  Auto playlists are particularly powerful because they allow using player you can find, organize, and play just the music you want to listen to, based on criteria that you define. The content of a selection automatically dynamically updated when you make changes to your library. For example, if you add several songs in your library, you must manually add each song to an automatic selection. the player scored on the automatic playlists automatically appropriate using unique criteria for each automatic. It's like having an assistant who knows what you like and who takes care of the details so that you can concentrate on listening to good music. To create an auotplaylist follow the steps mentioned below.

  1. click on the arrow below the Library tab, then click on create Auto Playlist.

  2. in the name of the Auto Playlist, type a name for the playlist.

  3. Select the criteria you want to use for automatic selection. The following steps show how you would set up an auto playlist that contains songs that you have rated to 4 or 5 stars:

  4. in the criteria list, verify that music in my library is displayed.

  5. click on click here to add criteria and then click on my ranking.

  The player adds automatically is at least 4 stars. When you play this playlist, all the music that you have rated to be 4 stars or more will be included in the playlist.

  6. to delete a criterion, click it and then click on remove.

• How can I add a data cd that I burned in my windows media library?

  I was about to do a cover of the plant out-of-box and burned all my music and photos on several CD in the form of data. I made the recovery. I can get the CD to play in windows media, but for the life of me, the rip options or anything else I try just won't let me get those files in my library. Can someone please? Or is this beyon repair problem?

  No need to rip CD data - you can just use Windows Explorer to copy MP3 files from your music collection CD personal. After that, they should appear automatically in the WMP library.

  Add items to the Windows Media Player library

  You can use the Windows Media Player library to help you organize your entire collection of digital media on your computer, including music, videos and photos. Once you add files to your library, you can read the files, burn mix CD, create playlists, sync the files portable music and video players and share files with other devices on your home network. There are several methods that you can use to add files to your library:

  • Follow-up of the files. When you start the player for the first time, it automatically searches certain folders by default on your computer for the photo files, video and music and then adds these files to your library. If ever, you add or remove files from these folders, the Player automatically update the library accordingly. You can change the folders the Player monitors if you store some of your digital media files in a location that will not be detected automatically.

  • Add media files that you play. When you play a file on your computer or on the Internet, the Player automatically adds the file to your library if it isn't already in your library. The reader does not automatically add a file that you play from removable storage media, a device removable storage, or on a shared network folder. For example, if you play a file that is stored on a CompactFlash card a data CD, or in a shared folder on another computer on your network, the player will not automatically add the file to your library.

  • Extract music from a CD. You can use the reader to extract the tracks of your audio CD. During extraction, the tracks are created as files on your computer.

  • Download music and videos from online stores. You can register with player online stores. Once you do, you can download music and video files from online stores.

• Audio books and Podcasts in the Windows Media Library

  I have a lot of audio books and cd courses and have recently begun to download podcasts.

  For now, all this shows mixed with my music files.  Many audio books / race have a number of CDs and they appear separated.  Is it possible to have separate for Audio books and podcasts... files and separate libraries as well?  For example, it has a music library, a video library, etc.  I would like to have a library of Audio books and podcasts, so that they do not appear in the music library.

  Then, if this is possible and I get it set up, how to remove these things from the music library.

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello!! :) Yes! :) Click Start, and then click documents. in the left pane, click libraries. Then up, click New library. An icon appears and it automatically allows you to type the name. Enter the audio books.

  After you do this, it is said that he needs you to include a folder. leave it for now and click the icon of the music. then, click new folder. Enter the audio books. Then, in music files, find all of your audio books, according to the authors, how much you have, you may have to do it one by one, but drag them to the wire music, hold and then a list appears. Move it to audio books and he lay.
  Keep this up until you're all done. Click on the new icon of audio books, that you created. Click on include a folder and find the folder of audio books. Double click it and it must insert them for you. :), hope this helps!

  To delete audio books in the media player, go to the library and click on organize. then click on options. The box comes up and the first open tab is the library. in that list of checkboxes, find the on that says "remove files from my computer when it is removed from the library." If it is checked, uncheck it. If this isn't the case, then let him. :)

  in this way, you don't remove them completely. Then, right click on audio books and remove it. I hope this helps! :)
