• How to convert an mp3 file to a file rtext? Can I use windows media player to play mp3 and have the recigition speech to convert to text?

  Can I use windows media player to play mp3 and have the recigition speech to convert to text?

  You can get on a conversion of 70% in reading a file in Windows Media Player using something like Dragon Naturally Speaking to convert. If you set the playback speed to slow in Windows Media Player to play > play speed, you will get a better result. The best option is to download the file to an audio transcription service, but which generally costs 0, 50-1, 00 per minute of audio.

  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.

• Songs do not appear in the Windows Media Player library

  WIndows Media Player 12 adding not songs

  I got my new PC with Windows 7 this afternoon and more than 10,000 songs completely copied into the My Music folder.  None of these songs will appear in the library of Windows Media Player 12 songs. My Music folder is one of the libraries of WMP to default save location.  Only 3 songs are appearing in the library, and those are the three on the Public Music folder.  Yet when I add a song to the public music folder, it is added to the library. Then when I close WMP, and re - open, we are back to 3 original songs!  I spent an hour with HP support tonight and didn't get anywhere.  I tried the system restore.  I tried to restore the library.  I think that my WMP is maybe damaged.  Any thoughts on what I'm missing here?

  I read this on another topic, try it.

• Windows Media Player 12 (WMP 12) are not saving the data in the library

  Hi all, been having a few problems with WMP 12, because I reinstalled Win7 enterprise following an upgrade of the processor (from AMD to Intel, had to reinstall).  Since that I had two problems, both probably originate in the same root.  Everytime I open WMP I see "There is no data in your library", until it scans the hard drive for files.  It's true that if I let this scan for 30 minutes, then turn off and on.  He simply has no information, period.  Secondly, when it filled with information, it mentions two copies of each song.

  My personal theory is that it could be caused by an old cache of WMP log are stored somewhere on the PC.  Perhaps WINDOWS.old?  Please keep in mind it was a reinstall of W7 W7 E E again.  Theories, ideas or legal remedies will be appreciated.  The problem seems localized to WMP, my libraries (pictures, videos, etc.) and everything seems to be intact however.

  I tried to change the location of the file, only to have WMP search folders for some and a few other things (disabling, allowing streaming media, for example) are stored within my installation of W7 HD and another HD in the same machine.
