Recreate the attributes of the My Music folder

Hi guys

I tried to move the location of 'My music' in order to free up space on the c drive, but it was wrong and the file left in the user account is damaged. I created a new folder but it doesn't have the attributes of the my previous music folder. I thought of a restoration, but the only point is well before I did a lot of independent work on the system, so this isn't a realistic option.

Can someone tell me how I can put in place a new folder my music with the correct attributes?

Hi Graham,

Sorry for the delay in my response.

Restore music library to its default values and then try to redirect the music library to another location.

a. open Windows Explorer. Under libraries.
b. right-click on the corresponding library (Music), and then choose Remove.
c. click Yes when asked for confirmation.
Note: Deleting a library does not remove the content of the included files. However, you need to add or include your folders manually, if necessary.
Include folders in a library:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/include-folders-in-a-library
d. then, in the Windows Explorer navigation pane, click libraries and click on restore default libraries.
e. that recreates the library that you just removed.
f. this option only restores the default libraries supplied with Windows 7.

  • The 'My music' folder keep resubmitting my individual songs in albums. I don't want that.

    I store my individual music files in the folder "my music". I find that each song stored in alphabetical order makes it easier to search for songs to burn to a CD. It is faster than having to open each album folder.
    But after about 2 weeks, some or most of the songs is put into album folders by themselves! It is a pain. I opened and moved the files back at least 3 times, (a lot of work I might add), only to have the files to move on their backs in the album folders.

    I didn't have a MediaSmart Server. I want to just use it on my local machine.

    I have all my music in, well fine, my music and they are all mp3 (standard windows compression) to 128 bytes

    I thought that the library would find the files, but it does not... and when I "select" a specific folder: nada. Also, I tried to dig, I moved a music folder in my music folders public network (read: move the music did not help) and I don't have any software the iPod on my RESUME!

    I'm doing something wrong? I use all of the default settings

    Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it!

    OK, well, I found the answer to this:

    If you put your albums / MP3 in the PUBLIC MUSIC folder on your hard drive!

    then the software will find: esp if you choose the value by default "Reg-music folder.

    Ok

  • My Music folder icon continues to change

    The My Music folder is supposed to display the icon "note of music in the folder" rather than the regular folder icon.  This is not so for my user profile.  Explorer Windows recognizes the folder in the My Music folder on my profile.  It does not display the correct icon.  I can't change icon in the properties of the folder; the option does not appear for some reason any.  I went in another profile on my computer and record music right click my profile and managed to change the icon.  It worked, but only until the computer is restarted.  The icon of music then returned to a regular folder still once.  I tried using the Microsoft Fix tool that corrects this type of problem, but it could not solve the problem the first time and could not find the question about the second time.  No other profiles on my computer experiencing this same problem; It is just my user account only.  I'm out of ideas.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    A Format of the Player must solve the problem. WMP & Winamp have nothing to do with this feature, but Windows should be able to do it for you.

    For formatting in Windows, turn on your meter USB MSC mode setting in the settings menu. In Windows Explorer, right-click on the drive of your player and select Foormat... from the context menu. Make sure it is set to FAT32 file system and Choose quick format .

    Since you have a v1, here is a another way of setting shaped device she (actually tells him to format itself).

  • Windows vista music folder example where I can find online?

    I used in my old clean windows vista laptop. Now I have windows 7. Is there anywhere where I can download the music old sample that vista had to offer? They had a great artist. I'll pay if I have to. Thank you.

    Hi FedericoMiamiFl,

    The sample music folder is built based on Windows Vista and you will not be able to download in Windows 7. However, you can share the folder. Sample of music is in the public folder by default. The Public folder is a convenient way to share files that are stored on your computer. You can share files in this folder by using other computers on the same network.

    Check out the link:

  • How to move or rename the music folder?

    I have a 50,000 ranked songs and thousands of podcasts, mixes, music videos or applications.

    I understand that the so-called gel and iTunes questions all trolling are down to a large enough or maybe completely stupid thing that is the 'keep the organized library option '. That doesn't make a sense, is impossible to run (it would take days, and of course, it freezes the whole computer), put the files where you didn't ask whether they are and then don't know how to recover.

    Because I am enjoying a summer break, I clean my readers and so I decided to do a cleanup, rename and move my music folder that contains all my music classified by artists alongside the iTunes folder.

    Fortunately for me I have zero confidence for Apple, as they were ISIS, so I hold the number and the location of the files because I realize that of course when a play one music it plays very well because itunes detects the song even though she move which it is supposed to do with finder file system.

    But then I restart iTunes to test and here you have this infuriating, incomprehensible problem "song not found" with all my songs, and even if I indicate the new positioning of the library this shit of iTunes is unable to find the songs and it will probably take years to re-index, as iTunes was even able to this without * computer.

    So: How can I move/rename my file without iTunes * up to the library and the paths of the music? Or is there any decent replacement for this * software yet? I have a lot of things and people to manage just in music, even if I used it for 15 years I don't have the patience to endure this * voluntarily, Apple seems to make it worse every update, more.
