• Windows Media Player-how delete the audio files in the WMP library and add album art

  How can I get rid of dublicate on WMP songs? How can I get all the cover art?

  To make WMP automatically look for the cover, make sure retrieve additional information from the Internet are checked in Tools - Options - Library (press Ctrl + M, if you don't see the Tools menu). The only add missing information option is recommended.

  Regarding duplicates, 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 on the service and click on stop.
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this file, rename the old Media Player like Media Player folder. 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. Check if the problem persists.

• Why windows media player displays only the names of original files?

  Windows Media Player only shows the original file names that can be confusing if I changed the name of a file. The name of the file (usually audio files) is correct in Windows Explorer, but in the component list of WMP, it's often the old file name. Why is this and what can I do about it? Advice would be appreciated. TA. Kevin.

  What the file type of these music files (MP3, WMA, WAV...)?

  WMP usually displays the title tags of the music file, which is independent of the file name. However, WMP always displays the current file name in the path column of the file, which can be activated by right clicking on a column header and select choose columns.

  Media player from Windows

  Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
  is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...
  do a system restore to a time before this started
  may be your solution.

  Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Info about DVD decoders:
  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player

  Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
  media players:

  http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Or... you can try to download and install one of the
  Following codec packs.

  (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
  point before installing any software or updates).

  * Proceed at your own risk *.

  (1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)

• Why Windows Media Player Dump existing MP3s when I add new to SD memory card?

  Why Windows Media Player Dump existing MP3s when I add new to SD memory card?

  Is there a setting I'm missing or something I forgot?

  All that I could find for now is the following. I'll try to get WMP to give me the new option.

  Connect the player to the computer (if you get a menu of Autostart just close it), open WMP and then go to the Sync tab, click on the small arrow below, then down the list to your rocket, a fly out menu will pop to the top and in this menu, you will descend to configure synchronization and will open a window called Device Setup , In the upper left corner, there is a checkbox indicating automatically synchronize this device, make sure it is not checked. If you get a menu when you plug it in, having options that wants to know if you want to allow yourself music, or delete it and make room for new files, make sure you click on the music of leave on my device option. You must be sure of automatic synchronization is disabled and that WMp is not deleting you music so you can add others.

• Windows Media Player is unable to extract one or more tracks from the CD.

  I also got this message "Windows Media Player is unable to extract one or more tracks from the CD" pop up in an attempt to 'Copy' the CD!  I have Windows 7 and had NO problem for several weeks, ripping my music from CD sales in my MUSIC folder.  I got all "parameters" laid so that whenever I inserted a new CD he automatically pulled and then ejected.  I had NOT brought any changes to settings but for some reason all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore?

  I have trried restart, check all the parameters according to your advice making SURE that all the files of 'Target' were correct (they are), but all that happens is a few seconds after I insert a CD it gives me this message (Windows Media Player cannot extract one or more tracks from the CD.) and then the CD will eject with NO of TEAR that occur?  It's VERY frustrating!  There, can anyone help?  Please?  I have NO idea where to check then!
