  Hello

  The library is the location in the player that lists all of the music, videos and photos on your computer. It allows you to easily find and play your digital media files, as well as to choose the content you want to burn to a CD or sync to a portable music player.
  To view your library, start the player, and then click the library tab.

• "Windows Media Player 12 - corrupted library.

  original title: the woes of 'Windows Media Player 12.

  Good first day and all.

  "Windows Media Player 12" (like the one provided with 'Windows 7') - I can't get it to work reliably.  No, this, scratching for 'reliable' read 'at all '...
  We have a library of about 35 000 titles, coded as "Windows Media Audio (Lossless)" (so using the Microsoft CODECs).  My sync.s with a Microsoft Office "Windows Mobile 6.1" ' phone ("HTC" "Touch HD" to be precise).
  Usage only I do 'Windows Media Player' is to synchronize playlists with my ' phone.  I tend not to listen to anything to help I have much better way to listen to music through a system of his PC and speakers crammed into an LCD monitor.  So "Windows Media Player" is just sitting there in the background.
  And some days she who will be quite happy without problems.  However (average) about 3 - 4 times a week, it will crash just randomly - up comes a dialog box saying «Windows Media Player has stopped working...» » ; or upward will come a message on my workspace is corrupted - "Media Player" will apparently remove and recreate automatically for me the next time it starts.
  The problem with that is it then everyone loses sync. settings, because it creates a new ID of the library for the new library, so I have to go and re - set my mobile, re-set-up device synchronization settings all the playlists I want to sync, etc etc etc etc and all this only after a wait of several hours for "Windows Media Player" to actually re-created the library first place.
  Basically, it's the two 'Windows Media Player' himself and tries to synchronize the music with my mobile device actually completely unnecessary and impracticable.  I'm not fan of Apple products but with Microsoft software using the Microsoft CODECs and synchronization to a mobile operating system of Microsoft being so completely and totally unnecessary I can quite understand why people just go and buy iPod (or iPhone, or...)-at least Apple understand media, including Microsoft obviously doesn't...
  So, after only 4 hangs 2 library reconstructions and only today (he is obviously having a particularly bad day today...) I thought that "enough is enough" and sought technical support options.
  Now, I'm not about to pay stupid amounts to Microsoft to tell them that their software is broken, and for them, finally, to answer "Yes, and? ...".  So I thought I would look on the Microsoft support site to see what options are available.  Apparently none - despite 'Windows 7' having been out for a while now, all Microsoft support pages only refers to 'Windows Media Player' versions up to version 11.  Come on Microsoft, which is pretty poor, is it not?  I know only for about 2 years 'Windows 7' RTM (Release To Manufacturing), so maybe it's a little early to wait to talk about "Windows Media Player 12" on your sites... support?  (this is sarcasm, in case anyone was wondering...)
  So I turn on the forums.  Does anyone else have a great experience (and I think that ~ 35 000 titles probably called 'wide') libraries with "Windows Media Player 12", and if so have you had any problems?  Someone has suggestions for additional diagnostics (for example, try to establish exactly what causes the library should be damaged or for 'Windows Media Player' suddenly to be considered "stopped working")
  ?
  What's happening on my machine "Windows 7 Professional (x 64)" with 8 GB of RAM and a lot of free space on the disk, so resources should not be a problem. "  It also happens on all the various other machines that we have here (all running "Windows 7 Professional"; for most of the "x 64").  It never used to happen with all that the latest version of 'Windows Media Player' was to 'XP' (but who had his "own collection of the bad guys to use"ActiveStink"...) so there shouldn't be anything specific library - it certainly seems to be problems specifically with "Windows Media Player 12".
  Any suggestions gratefully received...

  Method 1 fixed an issue, I've had where Media player would not start.    If I tried to play an mp3 file I get "Server error".  Bad shooting Diagnostics said my configuration was corrupted and my library was corrupt.  But it didn't fix it. Uninstall and reinstall using Windows features has not solved my problem.   With the FixIt solution, my problem has been resolved.

• What is the latest version of Windows Media Player compatible with WM 6.5?

  I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone.  What is the latest version of Windows Media Player, I can use?

  You can not.

  Your question was not entirely clear.

  WMP is for XP, not the HTC device. If you have Windows mobile on your HTC, then it will be a Media Player built into it. If you have the latest version, AFAIK you update from 6.5 to what is the latest version of Windows Mobile. If its 6.5, then you already have the latest version.

  You can also see the MS Windows Mobile...

  See you soon,.

• Import the data from the record music in Windows Media Player

  I'm importing WAV files in the music folder.  The data associated with these files include time and size of the file, running that were determined by Windows and listed with each track.  Windows Media Player has the value import these files, it does.  However, in random cases, the execution time is not captured by Media Player, and so they are reported in the burn list and will not burn.  I get a message that if I play the track, the running time can be picked up, but it did not work.  The information is complete in the music folder.  Is it possible that I can manually transfer these data? (Note - since posting this question, I decided to experiment.  I removed the tracks in Media Player lacking of run times and their re-importation with the menu item drop library «Add to library...» "and they have been re-imported with run times. Eureka!)

  Hi sailorsteve,
