  Have you installed a third-party codec pack?

  Windows Media Player cannot play the FLV files. You will need a third party FLV player to play these files or you will need to install the latest codecs pack

• Cannot delete files from Windows Media Player library.

  Original title: deleting files problem

  I deleted a large number of music of my WMP library & computer files, but they are still listed in WMP. I can't play any of them as they were deleted, and I get a message telling me so when I try! Why are they still displayed in the list and how do I get rid of them? I tried to restart, changing the target folder, etc., without change. I even tried to remove all of the library (but not the computer this time) and they do not always go!

  Hi Jamie,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

  According to the description provided, looks like you are not able to completely remove the files in Windows Media Player.

  I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.

  You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it clears the titles and generic icons.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  Method 1:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in the start search box and enter.

  3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 2:

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the start search box and enter.

  3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.

• Cannot play music files in Windows media player hard disk external.

  Hello

  I tried for a while to play the transferred music from my hard drive external.

  I tried all sorts of things with WMP and it's just not going to play the files.

  I canoe play my music.

  The thing is that it shows the albums and songs listed there.

  But when I open a song and try to hit the room then a box opens with a warning.

  Say that Windows Media Player cannot find file.

  This has never been a problem with older media players.

  I tried to re - download the player, but it's not part of windows more I guess and that sucks.

  I want the old player back.

  This was very frustrating, I hope someone can help.

  Thank you.

• How can I access my music files through Windows Media Player?

  OK, here's the facts:
  I have Windows Vista.
  Most of my music in my music is missing.
  I can view and listen to the music of "missing" in Windows Media Player (library).
  In Windows Media player, if I click on a song and 'open file location' need me for my music, and the file is not there.
  Looking for songs via the start menu or through my computer does not work.
  MP3 audio files are also missing.

  Not having access to the original files, I can't add music files individually to my mp3 (Windows Media Player lets you synchronize files only, and I don't want to lose a part of the 'missing' files I have on my mp3 using the Sync feature).

  How can I access my music? Clearly, it is still on my computer somewhere since I can play through Windows Media Player.

  Hello

  Step 1: Check what all records are controlled by the player. Then check these records, if the music file is present.

  Step 2: View the folder hid
