Titles of songs badly in Windows Media Player 12

I'm new to WMP. I put in a CD store bought (best of disc 1 of 3), and it plays fine except it shows titles for one of the other disks.

I tried F5 Refresh, back, etc...
What can be done to fix this?
Thank you
Melina

WMP uses a 3rd party database and "called" there whenever you are playing a CD or mp3, whatever.

However, you must have some options checked in WMP let call home (the database) that is, your internet connection must be active.

In WMP: Tools / Options / then in the Library tab, make sure that ' Get additional Information from the Internet (or a similar text) is checked / in the Player tab, make sure that Connect to the Internet is also checked.» Restart the program.

WMP should now update the news of defective or missing information. However, it is only as good as the 3rd party database... which is sometimes wrong!

See you soon,.

    ==================================
    M4A is not a compatible format. The simple solution
    is to convert .m4a files in .wma format and
    then import into Movie Maker.

    The following free Converter works for me...

    the CD Ripper and Easy MP3 Cutter)

    ==================================
    I joined just thinking... the free VLC Media Player
    and or Media Player Classic allows you to 'play '.
    your files of .m4a... but they will have to if conversion
    you want to use in Movie Maker.

  • Windows Media Player does not play the Audio CD in Windows XP.

    Original title: Media Player 11

    Out of the blue, my media player has stopped working. I don't think I did something for him, but he started playing an audio CD. I have no error message, it will not play. I have another media player on my computer, which didn't interfere with Media Player 11, but I get an error message that says that it cannot open "" MRL CDSG: / / / D: / ".

    Hello

    1. are you able to play the songs in the Windows Media Player library?

    2. is the specific question on a CD?

    3. What are the types of audio file that do not play?

    Method 1: As happens with another player more, it might be that particular CD is corrupt.

    Try again with another CD and see if that plays.

     

    Method 2: Although most CD using the file system ISO 9660 CD Windows XP can read CD created by other operating systems may use filesystems not supported. The most obvious example is the Mac CD using the HFS file system.

    Song ghost Vista Windows Media Player 11 error

    I have Windows Media Player 11 on a laptop Toshiba with Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 on it, and I have a problem with that I can not resolve at all. There's a song that is on my reading list that does not even exist. He has no title, author or album. No size file and it does not even exist on my computer at all. No matter how I try I can not remove it from the selection. I know that I can not uninstall and reinstall WMP11 from my system it is a program integrated with no option to do so, but because of this I see also very troublesome that a reinstall is the only thing I can think of now to remove it.

  • I have music files in my playlists that I can't make it appear in the Windows Media Player library

    Original title: Player Windows medis library - Playlist trouble

    -J' have music files in my playlists that I can't make it appear in the library - how can I sync the two up - I tried the usual fall / drag...

    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.

  • Windows Media Player does not work on Windows XP.

    I was still having problems with my windows live messenger I did a clean through my computer of viruses and and anything that may be damaged and then I let a friend 'fix' that believe him when he said he could. Windows Media Player worked well before he touched and now it will not respond the same way. I also use Firefox as my main browser, only then if someone else who uses the engine might be able to help or whatever at all for this player. He worked 5 hours trying to get it working right again, but eventually gave up. It also seems that all sites that I thought could help ended up being for vista or windows 7-8. windows media player doesn't work I have to do a lot of, click on this and that and then play. I want to just back to normal. thx for the advice

    Original title: How can I fix windows Media Player so it will automatically play CDs or DVDsit stopped after I cleaned my computer.

    Thanks for all these possible methods of fixing. We did in those 5 hours trying to make it work related things. my friend had installed all sorts of uprising "Tune Up programs (which I told him not to do so), but after he did this." It is when I have a few things that worked before orders also. as well, it didn't speed up my computer nor in any case. then after I uninstalled all his *, ran all cleaners and antivirus programs, cleaned the Vincent of cookies that have been in my wall of cookie and don't have a boot scan system. and then passed through a finger and put a cd in and I heard run and a list of options appeared with the selections as game cd on Media player so I high informed that clicks on the box on the bottom, saying always remember this clicked on ok. and easie peasie it worked. I remember now that the way back in 09 when I got this computer, this option is given then to so I do not know that are a little devil programs Sotah but thank the Lord that I found myself in the end fixing. Unfortunately, it was after I went to the community for help when I decided to give him another chance to just put a cd and see if I had to go through files and click on the media player, and then click in the list of play but I had that pain in the butt. I don't know if faith had anywthing to do with my luck but I prayed for help earlier and well I got it! Thank you for your time giving these great options of measures to take. may blessing come your way Lori
