Recently added feature in windows media player 12 deleted?

Hello

I used to like WMP. I have more than 17,000 mp3 with beautiful tags and album art. I download 1 or 2 albums per week on average. So, normally I open my WMP and click under the option added music recently and I would like to get a glimpse of the nive. But now I give just the sort options; Artist, album and Genre. Which means that I have to remember what I've downloaded recently, search them and put it in a new playlist. But then, if I accidentally click twice on a song, the playlist is gone and I have to start all over again. Instead, most of the time I swear just to stop and the computer.

Why remove such a valuable function? can I get it back?

Hi Wafter,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community Forum site!

By design, recently added option is turned off in Windows Media Player 12. However, you can try with the other option in Windows Media Player, which is to create or change a regular playlist.

I hope this helps solve your problem!

    How to view duplicates in windows media player to delete these files

    Hello

    If you have duplicates in Windows Media Player library, you can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Step 1:

    To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on 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 Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    If this is not enough and you want to remove duplicate files there are third-party application to do the job. You can search your favorite search engine and download third-party software to remove the tracks twice in Windows.

  • Windows Media Player-how delete the audio files in the WMP library and add album art

    How can I get rid of dublicate on WMP songs? How can I get all the cover art?

    To make WMP automatically look for the cover, make sure retrieve additional information from the Internet are checked in Tools - Options - Library (press Ctrl + M, if you don't see the Tools menu). The only add missing information option is recommended.

    Regarding duplicates, I suggest that you try to reset the media 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 on the service and click on stop.
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this file, rename the old Media Player like Media Player folder. 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.

  • Where's the "recently played tracks" in windows media player 11?

    As far as I know, it should be listed under file, or when you right click on the media player, however, I can't find where is the list of recently played songs.

    If something has changed in Windows 7? How can I see what has been recently played?

    Hello

    Windows 7 comes with Media player default 12. Unlike other versions of Media players recent items under the file will not appear in Media Player 12. The best way to display recent Articles is by creating a playlist. By design, this option isn't there.

    See you soon.

  • 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.

  • Windows Media Player - corrupted library

    Separated from this thread.

    EIS,

    I am running Windows 7, 64-bit home etsur and have Windows Media Player V12.

    I have two big problems with WMP, the first is a library corrupt - I can not add properly

    files to the library.  The other problem is that WMP will not successfully "apply media

    Change information after I used the "Update Album Info" feature for albums that have been properly added. It evokes the

    bar of progression, says it is 100% complete, but there has been no change in the Explorer of W...
     
    As part of an attempt to solve the first problem I tried everything that follows, (not in this)

    ranking).

    Convenience store of the Player library run Media 1.).

    2.) run Media player troubleshooting utility parameters.
    3.) and then, if necessary, run [alt - t], advanced tool, restoration of the library
    4.) remove the WMP to force a complete rebuild - close WMP library database in the start menu

    engine search box type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in Windows explorer which

    seems to remove all files (but not the subfolders). See if that solved the problem.
    5.A) Unload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

    on or off, multimedia, clear features checkbox Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.
    5b.) Reload WMP - control panel programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

    On or off, characteristics of media, select the Windows Media Player box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

    After 2). I thought that the first problem was resolved that 120 new albums ("unknown") have been

    successfully added, but I noticed that there are a few folders that were not added and

    cannot be added manually. Verification of the files that are included with the library management is not helping either. And the second problem persists.

    If you can offer any new help, I would appreciate it.

    Hi Steve, this is certainly the WAV format that's your problem. WAV is generally very bad marking support: WMP only WAV files tags once wrote during extraction, and they is not editable later. For more information, see

    http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/wav.htm

    There is no need to re - tear the relevant albums that you can only convert WAV files to another format using a tool like dBpoweramp. Recommended formats are MP3 or WMA Lossless if you do not want quality loss.

  • How can I block Windows media player-all function or video?

    OK, I have one of four newspapers-ons in my pc that is locked down pretty tight where the only thing I want to work is word processor (WordPerfect and starting Word version).  My teenage son has impulse control issues, which gives more access means that it is wandering and not on the task.  Theoretically, he likes to play music while working on school assignments (writing) on the computer.  The problem is that apparently in addition to the execution of music files already resident on our pc and external drive, he inserted DVD in the dvd player and movies run (secretly) that are played to use the features of Windows media player.  My preference would be to hell video functionality or the ability to use the DVD drive under this opening of session and leave the ability of audio file.  Is there a way to do this?

    Alternatively, if I install another drive, can I block the video features of a different player and block the drive windows completely?
