  Hello

  1. is the specific issue of the reading list?

  2 are you able to add other songs in the Windows Media Player library?

  3 did you changes to the computer before the show?

  The Player library is the location in the player that lists all of the music, videos and photos on your computer.

  When you play a media file on your computer or a removable storage device, the file is automatically included in the Player library, so you can access it directly from the reader. And if you have access to remote media stored on other computers on your network, you can change the player settings to add those files remotely to the Player library when you play them. The reader does not automatically add a file that you play from removable media, such as a CD or DVD.

  Since you aren't able to add songs to the library, you can try the following and see if they help.

• Music files are not listed in the Windows Media Player library

  Music files were deleted from Windows Media Player. The need for a Solution.

  AT & T Communication Manager, who gets my mobile internet card online, asked if he could deal with some updates.  I had only had the camera for a few days and assumed he was talking about some AT & T software.

  Next thing I know he turned my internal computer to the outside.  Washed and folded it carefully but seems threw things into the pockets now.  I had to hunt for my documents, but a lot of things are different, changed my toolbars, settings on Open Office.  Cannot access some files.  He was asked to record a program I had a lot of time.  Nothing in the Windows Media Player I had the program adds a big chunk of my record mp3 files music.  But I think that much of the music in my eMusic account, which now has nothing in it, can be conveniently added (unless I'm going one by one I think).  Moreover, my eMusic Download Manager is empty.

  I want to reverse sync my mp3 player but don't know how.  Should I get Windows Media PLayer 11?  I have Vista.

  Thank you very much.  And if you can help without talking over my head I would appreciate it.

  Hey Asher,

   
  1 are the music files on the physical hard disk?
   
  Step 1: If music files are present on the hard drive, then we can manually add the files to themedia player library or create playlists accordingly.

  Step 2: If the files are not deleted permanently from the hard drive, then restore the computer to an earlier time should help. To restore the computer to an earlier time when everything worked well, try the following steps.
  a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  b. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
  c. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
  d. click Finish.

   
  See which is the system restore?

• How I just play all my songs randomly in my v12 to Windows Media Player library?

  How to play just all my songs randomly in my v12 for Windows Media Player that are in the library?

  It seems that I must make a playlist named 'all' select all the music then play this list. So I need to do each time I have download more music on the computer. New music in the library that it scans the concerned disks but then reading list "all" is old and lack the new songs. There must be an easier way that I'm missing that works without need to create a new play list whenever I have add new music to my computer. Anyone know?

  The right limit MP3 was just an example, they touch the part that is in you is to customize the filter for your library: "then, we must take a test that corresponds to all the songs.

  Another option is to simply add a "sort by", which filter actually at all.  Then, you just play with Shuffle on if you want to ignore the sorting criteria.

  You can add a file type filter, and even if the mp3/wma/wav files selector is a drop down, if you click on it and then start to type, you can type "blah" and change the first drop until "is not.  That said, includes all files that are NOT of type of file "blah".  This means that all file types will be paired because he is not a real file of 'blah' type  I tested and it works fine.

  Similar approach could be taken with any of the other filters such as title/Album etc. by selecting "Filename" 'Is not' 'asdflkjsdflskjfsd' and that includes all the files except the one named "asdflkjsdflskjfsd" music :)

  Another approach would be to just use a filter aside and say 'at least is' 'Unrated', which will include essentially all of the songs that they have a side or not.  I don't know if some of the more obscure types of music files will have sides, but as I don't know where this information is stored, certain types of files may not support it.

  "More...". ""File size""is at least""0 ".

  I could go on.

• How do I delete the duplicate in the Windows Media Player library

  Repeated songs

  I have covers of songs in my library and I don't see a way to remove the copy of them. For example, the same song 3 times listed in my library, and I don't want to hear this song three times. It is through my library. How can I remove the repetitions?

  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 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.

• Impossible to delete the files from the Windows Media Player library

  Cannot delete files from library

  There are files in my library that I deleted the files, but the items still appear in my library. An example would be the items stored in the folder 'Public '.  When I right click on the file and choose 'Remove', nothing happens.  Any suggestions on how to get these files is no library WMP?  I tried already to 'Restore the library' and I also tried "sfc/scannow", which did not find any problem.

  It seems to be a corrupt library file.  In any case of the deletion and re-creation of who?

• The Windows Media Player library is missing in Windows XP

  My Windows Media Player library has disappeared and I can't recover my music.  Please notify.

  What version of WMP are you using?

  You still see your music files in Windows Explorer? What is the file type (or types) of these files (MP3, WMA; (WAV)?

  This could be caused by a corrupted media library. To reset the library, follow the instructions for your version of WMP and Windows 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.

• Not able to play songs directly from the Windows Media Player library.

  Original title: Windows Media Player won't play songs unless I have...

  WMP plays the songs, unless I directly go where the file is located and open like that.  It works just fine. The problem is a lot of work. I play usually just in my library on shuffle. Many songs will not play this way, though, but like I said, they work fine when I open the file from its location. There is a blue circle with an exclamation in it that says "WMP can not locate this file. The file may have been deleted or moved, or the path may be incorrect. "I checked the location, and they are there. Help, please!

  Well, looks like your Explorer library WMP links are corrupt; You probably need to rebuild the library. Corruption occurs when files are moved or changed in the library of the Explorer... tasks of this nature must be always performed in the library WMP or the location of the file.

  In a first step, go to 'Tools' - 'Advanced' (if you do not see 'tools' of the bar menu isn't showing, then go to "Organize" - "Layout" and select "Show Menu bar")-then click on "restore Library. WMP will then rebuild the library.

  Let us know if it improves things... R >

• How can I remove the Windows Media Player library?

  I have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Edition and Windows Media Player 12.0.7600.166667.

  I finally got my music organized, so I deleted some files from my computer and moved songs between folders.  It seems that I can't remove all the songs from Windows Media Player which do not exist physically.  I tried to empty my entire library, I could rebuilt it.  In Windows Media Player, I clicked on the music (left), and then I clicked on the first song, hold down the SHIFT key and click the last song so that all my music has been chosen.  Then, I clicked and selected delete.  I said that I wanted to remove JUST the library, no computer.  When he was done, there was still 5501 songs left.  I know that once, I could just delete wmplibrary.db, but I get no hits on that when I get into the field at the bottom of the start menu.  I decided to uninstall Windows Media Player and reinstall, but when I go to start-> Control Panel-> uninstall a program, the only entry I see that looks remotely Windows Media Player is Windows Media Encoder 9 Series... but I wasn't brave enough to try it.

  Any ideas?  Thank you!

  Wow - thank you, my mp3 player thanks and my children thank you!  The convenience store did not help - he told me that my library has been altered... as I didn't know that already!  But the manual method operated very well... but if someone else is reading this for help, I don't have to start my computer in safe mode because one of the files (which was large enough that it WAS probably the file that I needed deleted) was in use with the network share and I had no idea how close anyone who opened.  But in safe mode worked very well.

  Thank you very much for your help!  And thanks for the information on troubleshooting: I had never heard of this before!
