  • Title of song-Player Windows Media does not display properly when played

    Problem with Media Player

    The box on the bottom of my screen shows 1 song, but another play!  This has never happened before... How can I fix this so that they match?

    Hi Catwoman,

    Follow the steps below and check if that helps you solve the problem with Windows Media Player.

    You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it helps to load the music into the library and if you can play all the songs.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    Step 1

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. for Windows 7: click Start, click Run, type Player, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media , andclicknext OK.

    3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

     

    Step 2

     

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Playercache of database files. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. If you are running Windows 7, click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, , andclicknext OK.

    3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.

    4. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Also note before performing the steps above, I suggest to save the songs and try the steps above.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • Windows Media Player - change the columns that appear under 'Now Playing'

    I would like to change the columns displayed in the views now play and Windows Media Player play list.  The factory default is to show only the fields title and length.  It wouldn't be that big a deal this is something fairly simple to access the page layout options, hit choose columns and select the check boxes for the columns I want to show... but the title and duration are the only fields that it allows me to select from.  He still refuses to allow me to select anything else.  I know that there is a way to display more information, but for the life of me I don't remember how to do so that he can do.  Help?

    Hey,.

    I've recreated the scenario on my Windows Media Player. It shows all the info like length, side, title, album, artist to contribute. Appoint you.

    Scan SFC should be your friend.

  • Windows Media Player not able to rip CDs

    RIP error in Windows Vista Media Player

    Like others on this list, I can't rip cd after downloading Service Pack 2. After 20% of the first song is torn all the entries go in error without any indication of which is the mistake. I tried to erase the files and restart as indicated, but this does nothing to solve the problem. My son, who is a programmer, also spent 2 hours on the problem using various forums, tried all mentioned and was still unable to solve the problem.

    In WMP, please click the error next to one of the tracks, and select Error Details . What is the full text of the error message?

    If you use WMP to simply play the CD, that always works?

    You can try to reset the library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists. Tim Baets

  • Audio on Windows Media Player not working not not on DVD only

    No sound on DVD playback.  Music CD works fine, as the general computer audio.  Mute is not on.  This has happened between a start and another.  Maybe had something to with a nuisance 'Power DVD' (may be not the right name) program this dominant kept Windows Media Player.

    Just a guess... but maybe you need an AC3 Filter:

  • Media Player not installed correctly

    Downloaded two WMA audiobooks and not able to listen to them via WMP nor able to transfer them to the iPOD.  Tells me that I need to update WMP security.  As he tried to update WMP security via the Overdrive Media Console software, I thought WMP not installed correctly.  Using XP and WMP 11.  Saved on WMP 11 from WMP 9 and reinstalled twice.  No luck.  Tried to rename the DRM folder and then trying to new security update.  No luck.

    Thank you for your quick response.

    Before receiving your response, I was able to solve the problem.  Here's what I did:

    (1) I deleted the two audiobook downloads from Overdrive Media Console software.

    (2) in the Panel, I removed WMP 11 and also removed Windows Media Format 11 Runtime (I did not remove this second program in my first two attempts to re - install WMP 11).

    (3) I have reinstalled WMP 11 on the microsoft.com Web site.

    (4) I launched the Overdrive Media Console software and selected > tools > Windows Media Player Security Upgrade.  This time, it worked as expected.

    (5) I have re-uploaded my two books.

    I'm now able to listen to the audio books on WMP 11 and transferred successfully to my iPOD.

  • Media Player 11 displayed off-screen

    Original title: Windows Media Player 11

    Since I upgraded my drive at 11 I was unable to use it as it comes up out of the screen. When I drag it back it does not. I tried to uninstall and re install, but it just rolls back to the previous version. I am also unable to repair Windows, as I went from Service pack 2 or 3, and my installation CD is most any use. Someone had this happens and find a way around the problem please? Peter

    Sorted to the end... I managed to get to the center of the screen, then checked options of wmp via tools and discovered that the "Open on other pages" box was checked.

    Thanks for the input.
  • Windows Media Player not able to synchronize audio files for MP3 player

    Windows Media Player 11 issues

    I updated win xp home edition from sp2 to sp3. Also updated for Windows Media Player 11. WM11, I cannot sync to my mp3 player that I could use this feature in sp2 and the latest version of WM. Sometimes it will play music on the mp3 player, but close WM11 after a period short piece. When WM11 opens, I choose a song and play music for a brief period before an error box appears stating windows media must be closed due to erroer or error DRM Setup utility. Sometimes, it closes when you click on a song without any error message that appears. Updates that I updated to Windows Media. Have not tried burning / ripping any CD or adding new music to the library. Just try to play files of current music and trying to put music on an mp3 player. MP3 player is a simple player RCA 'Pearl '. Nothing complicated. Never had any problems before WM11. Can roll back to WM 9.5 (I think)... but no sync button. WM 10 does not able to download Pack SP3. Don't know what to do. Questions about this on the Microsoft Web site do not meet my windows media problems.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply. I uninstalled WMP11. Old version had the ability to sync... just had to learn to move into the old version... different screen. I'll go back and try your method.
