Rename the songs in Media Player 11

Does anyone know how to rename all the songs in my library? At the present time, they are a mixture of "Song title", "Artist - song title" and "artist - title song - Album". Because I have the same songs from different albums, I want to be able to rename all my songs as "song title - Album". I put my RIP titles in this format but I have more 3 500 songs and no way to pull them UP everything again. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi EsieB,

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forums.

The research we did we do not believe there is a way to rename all the songs in your playlist at any given time.

Name and store titles

If you have an Internet connection, Windows Media Player will automatically connect to the database of Windows Media online and get all the information are available on the CD. If it cannot connect to the internet, the titles will be saved with that unknown information, and you will not be able to know who is who.

You can avoid this by manually adding the necessary information before starting the extraction. Right-click on the corresponding columns and select Edit to change the information. You can select what information to be provided by the files by clicking on the arrow below Rip, selecting more Options, then press the button of file name.

The files are saved by default in the folder music of the current user. If you want to save in a different location, click the arrow below Rip, select other Options, click Edit and select the desired path.

Rename already extracted files

If you have some ripped albums that do not have the correct information, you can have Windows Media Player rename them. Click the arrow below the play button and select other Options. Go to the Library tab and check rename music files using parameters of music and rip the music to reorganize in rip music folder, using rip music settings. The first option renames the files by using the file name Options settings, and the other creates new folders using the retrieved information from windowsmedia.com.

Please post back and let us know if this information helped answer your question at all, or if you are always need more help.

  • The xbox 360 Media Player no longer plays music after that I upgraded my CPU. Error message: media sharing service has been terminated

    Original title: the xbox 360 Media Player plays more music after I upgraded my CPU

    I have Vista 64 SP2.  The service runs for 5 seconds and then I get the message that she stopped. He was works well for years (my Xbox 360 sharing), I'm guessing he stopped a few weeks ago after I put in a slightly faster processor. I watched a some tech posted and tried to run the program which seeks the corrupted system files, but the only files that it could not pay had to do with the sidebar Windows. I have removed and put back my media extender, I thought that it worked because I've seen (from my xbox) miniature images, videos and music counting upward, as they have been added and I could see them. But if I take one he freezes for a few seconds and then says the media sharing service took end (or something like that). Then, I go to my PC and see that it stops. I can restart, but it only lasts for 5 to 10 seconds.

    I also say a post about deleting files in C:\Program Data\Microsoft\DRM, but I have all the files in there. Just a server folder empty.

  • adding new files or remove the old Windows Media Player files. (Vista)

    Since June 2010, I was not able to add new files or remove the old Windows Media Player files.  I can click on a new file and play using WMP or add to a playlist that is currently playing, but it does not recognize that it was added after as I close the program and re-open it.  Or I can delete the files that no longer exist on my computer but WMP always has them as my files.  When I click on add new media, it recognizes the right amount of files I would be adding, says to add them and then nothing is there.

    Your media library has probably been corrupted. To reset, follow the instructions for WMP 11 Vista at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary . Note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too. Tim Baets

    Hello

    I'm having this problem with Windows Media Player. I use WMP12 to play songs in MP3 format. Just before each channel ends, approx. ~ 5 seconds before the end of each song, for example, the media player seems pauses / freezes for 1-1.5 seconds. The freeze/pause is defintiely not intentional - the gel looks as if WMP is having a problem reading from a file.
