Windows 8 music app has empty library

My music is stored on my hard drive for storage in the computer (D:\Media\Music). Windows 8 Pro is installed until my SSD (c).

The view of the office, I went to the library 'Music', the button clicked on «Manage Library» I removed the two default folders and added my D:\Media\Music folder.
Given that my music collection is a mixture of files MP3, Ogg and FLAC I installed WMP Tag Plus.
Windows Media Player for the opening of the office shows that my entire library, as well as the Ogg files and Flac are properly listed and playing very well.
If I go to the music app Windows 8 (metro app, which is the new name?), he said: "it's lonely here ' to the 'my music' section and the library is empty."
I could wait for the marks of a closed environment it is impossible to play Ogg and Flac files, but also ordinary MP3 files (and even some WMA files) are not at all, while Windows Media Player from the desktop them clearly lists in the music library.
So, how can I get my library is displayed in the metro music app? As I said, I added my folder (LOCAL!) in the music library of the desktop mode.
Secondary question: is it possible (and Yes, how) to play Ogg files and FLAC for the metro app?

I understand that this is an old question, but I hope that my solution helps someone.

As the user who posted the question, I have my music collection stored on another partition of a hard disk. It's convenient, because I do not lose my files when I reformat/reinstall operating system.

So, I did the following and the music app as magically began to recognize my music.

Right click on D:\Music (in my case), went to properties.
On the first tab, I clicked on the button Advanced attributes. On the pop-up dialog box, I checked
"Allow files in this folder to have content in addition to the properties indexed".

That's all.

  • Android-In-App-billing: empty library

    What may be motivating an empty library in my Android App Viewer, if I publish folios as "trade retail/public.

    If the folios are public/free that they are displayed correctly, as soon as I put them on the retail trade, they are not shown anymore.

    I followed the steps correctly on http://helpx.Adobe.com/Digital-Publishing-Suite/KB/publishing-process-Android-Amazon-Mobil.html

    Not working in test mode / unpublished or as soon as the application is published.

    I checked the following:

    1. The shared secret Android is copied from Play-Dev to the Adobe account management
    2. The DPS-account is correct in the generator of DPS
    3. The App is published
    4. The in-App-purchase item is published on Play-Dev
    5. The Folio is published with the correct product ID
    6. "Renditions" folio have same name of publication, number of fiolio, date (I manually set it to a date in the past) and product ID
    7. I've recreated the App with the DPS generator
    8. I test on Asus Transformer TF 101, Nexus 7, Galaxy Tab 7 (the jtfw is nowhere)
    9. I created a testuser
    10. Each of these devices I reset several times and made the first devices user testuser

    Yet once again, the problem occurs only if I set the folios to retail. They work as long as they are free.

    It's my third App on Android and it is the first, I can't make it work with. Someone has an idea what stage I could be missing? I thank very you much in advance!

    Well finally after days of work I fixed it again with the oldest trick in the world (I always forget):

    I've recreated the application within the DPS App Builder by deleting the old and making a complete new instance.

    Now it's working. Thank you for reading!

  • Music app has confused me

    I have an iPhone 6 more and it took a while to feel comfortable with the music app. Now, I lost my iPod and my daughter gave me an iPhone 4s, she had so I don't have to buy a new iPod. I transferred to the music that I wanted, but it seems that the interface is different than my Plus 6. On my 6 Plus, I have a line at the top of the app that says "only display music on this iPhone.  View all music» I don't like that show music on the device, because I got a lot of data to low and do not want to incur charges as you drive. This line & option is not on the 4 s. is there another place to fix this? I have looked through the settings and don't see it anywhere. I want to assure you that downloaded music is what I can play.

    Thank you.

    This option was created for the Apple's music which is a new feature available only on new devices. He came out after 4 s was released, so upgrade your iPhone to a software more recent to access the features of Apple's music and so it is. I recommend using the background categories such as artists or Albums to refine your search, 'Show All Music' won't help you unless you had the most recent version of the application.

  • Windows 8: music App

    I've recently updated my Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro. I use Dell Inspiron.

    I have the following problems.

    1. the pockets in my Mp3 music files are not visible while playing in music from Windows. I do not see the album art in Windows Explorer

    and also all using Media player. I turned on the 'Media Info' ' settings-> preferences. Still do not work.

    2. while I play all songs from the Windows Explorer or thru' Browse Windows music, the song "2nd" gets skipped and do not play.

    3. is at - it an option to a graphic equalizer in Windows music?

    Thank you.

    After MUCH experimentation, here's what worked for me.

    Do not use the MP3 files, because they are all or nothing. Most of the work, about 10%, and I have given up trying to understand why. M4A doesn't work either, nor WAV.

    Option 1:

    (1) use only the WMA files, with any art custom 200 x 200 covers stuck in WMP.

    (2) remove all tracks from the album in Windows Media Player (from the library, NOT from your hard drive)

    (3) move them to another directory

    (4) delete them XBOX music

    (5) then move them back to their original directory

    (6) add the tracks in WMP

    (7) watch them appear in XBOX music with their correct album art.

    Option #2

    If you have a LOT of track missing illustrations, this option can save you time.

    1.) use only WMA files with any art custom 200 x 200 covers stuck in WMP. (Transcode the files if you need to, stripping on all work superfluous or larger than 200 x 200.

    XBOX UNISTALL MUSIC 2)

    3.) go in the App Store - drag from the bottom of the screeen (or right click at the bottom of the screen) and select "applications."

    4.) REINSTALL XBOX MUSIC

    5.) go back to the START screen. Attention when XBOX Music goes from 'pending' to 'Installation' and then ends.

    6.) as soon as it is complete, open XBOX Music, then open the charms bar, select Preferences and disable automatically "recover covers album Updata and metadata."

    Combining above steps seems to work very well, and I now have album art custom in the music of the XBOX.

  • Why Windows 8 'Calendar' app has no option to change the first day of the week?

    Why can't I change the first day of the week in 'Calendar' app?

    Hi Andriamparany,

    Windows calendar - like some other ' standard' Windows 8 applications - is pretty basic and was obviously designed to speed up tasks 'on the fly'. As soon as it comes to advanced settings for these applications, you will need to upgrade to the "long" version

    A good example is changing the 1st day of week / time of starting the day... To do this, you must go to http://Outlook.com (what I called the "expanded version" of Windows 8 Mail, calendar, people... APSS). So, from your browser preferred:

    • Open http://Outlook.com and enter your address email + password if necessary
      ==> By default, it displays your emails
    • Click the arrow to the bottom of the Panel that is located next to Outlook - upper left corner of the page
      ==> This shows 4 tiles: Mail, people, calendar and SkyDrive
    • Click on the calendar tile
      ==> That displays your calendar
    • Click the Options - just before a blue ? - link in the upper right of the screen

    Don't forget to save your changes when you have finished...

    Hope that answers & help

    See you soon

  • Share network locations do not appear in the music app

    Current workflow:

    In Zune, added \\share\mymusic to identify places in the music, all music albums folder and metadata and display perfectly.

    Now, in WIndows 8 music app it will display ALL my music after you follow the instructions to make a symbolic link, so I could cheat this stupid WIndows library function to add the folder without complain about indexing.

    I tried the same thing for pictures with no result.

    Does anyone answer and tell me to copy my 30 GB + music on the local disk.  It's ridiculous and you know it.

    If the music app is fundamentally flawed in this way just say so we can start logging bugs and feature requests.

    Otherwise, anyone who has this simple workflow in Windows 8 music app please tell me how you got to work.  I want all the music of \\share\mymusic is not displayed correctly as it does currently in Zune.

    This seems to be a limitation in versions shipping Win8 apps, music, Photos, etc. - are not unable to network shares using (raw, non - WHS) that are added to libraries. That said, apparently Microsoft is working on the update of these applications to include this feature.

    They did not understand as part of the release is a mystery.

    That their tech support doesn't, it's frustrating and disappointing.

    So, in short - we have to be patient for a fix...
  • Cannot add songs to then put in the iOS 10.0 music app.

    Just what the title says. I also talk about loaded music from my iTunes library, not Apple Music. In previous versions of iOS, the three points presented next to everything on the application of music to give the possibility to add a maximum of next and now, it is only for albums, not songs. I've used this feature much and I'm sure that Apple has done away with her somehow to take advantage of the features of Apple's music (which I don't use), but it's frustrating to have to everything manually reorganize rather than choosing. I was wondering if there is a setting to get that back, or if it is gone for good.

    Hello STYT13,

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know the importance of being able to add songs to music's next playing on your iPhone is up to you! The good news is that the following steps will help you understand how to put in place the songs in your queue next play in the music app. All while playing a song, drag down on the now playing screen and press the library option in the lower left corner of the music app. In library view, type songs and find the song you want to add. Then tap and hold on the song and a menu will appear with the options, including play. I have personally tested myself, so I hope this helps and here is more on options while playing songs in-app music.

    You can try this: go to the control panel (via desktop computer) and open indexing options. Tap advanced. Type on rebuild. According to the number of files you have, you may need to wait a while, but the window will eventually display full indexation.

    Then, open the music application and see if your song had appeared.

  • XBox Music app is not read the labels of the song of library on network

    So I have my library of music stored on a file server.  I'm also on a Windows domain.  I added the location of the music to the area of music under library on my PC in Windows 8.  However, when I load the Xbox Music application, all my songs appear as unknown artist / unknown album.  It does not simply read the file tags.

    With a different music, such as Windows Media Player or Zune, these two programs player read the MP3 tags very well.

    I copied an album in the My Music folder on my HDD, and then the Xbox music app seems to recognize the tags very well.  However, I owe much music to record on my local computer.  In addition, I prefer to keep on file for all server copy to a local drive is not an option.

    Thus, music Xbox seems to have a problem with the playback of MP3 tags on a local network or domain.

    Does anyone have a solution to this?  Or is there anyone he works with a similar network set up?  I even disabled the firewall.

    Thanks for the help.
