• 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.

  When I click on the icon to play a video, "windows media player 2 has stopped working" is the only thing that appears. How can I fix it?
  I have to go into the program to find the video. I didn't know that there was a Media Player 2. Would it not be better to download another drive to use? If so which do you recommend?

• Windows Media Player 12 has stopped working.

  Windows Media Player 12 has stopped working. When I select an audio track and click on the play button, a red X appears next to the title in the playlist. I uninstalled and reinstalled the player, but also update the drivers. Checking the properties through the device manager says that the device is working properly, but this clearly isn't.

• Receive the message error "Windows Media Player cannot extract one or more tracks from the CD"

  Original title: Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 8 - will not tear, will not allow rip parameter changes

  Recently started Windows Media Player displays this error message when I tried to rip CDs: "Windows Media Player cannot extract one or more tracks from the CD." When I checked the rip settings, I found that no location has been chosen, even if I had chosen a location when I first set up WMP over a year ago. When I clicked on the "Change location" button, nothing happened, so I'm not able to choose a file location. I downloaded and Fix It (http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows-media-player-diagnostic-Windows-8/en-us) from Microsoft allows WMP and the library, hoping this would solve the problem, but the problem persists. After that, I also found that none of the rip settings can be changed, not only the location of the file. I get an error message that "ripping settings could not be applied" when I try to change anything on the tab music Rip under Options. I found a support of forum responses that mention a registry fix but does not provide any details on how to achieve this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

  Ripping allows you to put the titles of your audio CD on your PC. When you rip the tracks, they become digital files on your PC.

  There are two places in the Player library where you can customize your settings and better to make ripping work:

  • In the Rip settings menu (with less choice customization).

  • In the Options dialog box (with several choices of customization).

  Method 1: run the tool library, Windows Media Player and Windows Media Player settings and check if the extraction is possible.

  Step 1:

  a: press the logo Windows + O to open the search box.
  b: Type Troubleshooting, press ENTER.

  c: now, click on programs.

  d: and then click Windows Media Player  library.

  Step 2:

  a: press the logo Windows + O to open the search box.
  b: Type Troubleshooting, press ENTER.

  c: now, click on programs.

  d: and then click Windows Media settings.

  Method 2: Perform the steps from the link below and see if it helps.

• Windows Media Player 11 has stopped playing some of my MP3s. Any ideas on how to solve this?

  I have a desktop Dell Dimension running XP. I uninstalled Real Player and Rhapsody, just in case they were causing problems, but that did not work.

  Here is what I noticed:

  WMP plays still files were extracted a CD, the songs that were purchased from Amazon, but not:

  -The MP3s that have been purchased by third parties (for example, recordings of teleseminar I bought

  -Downloaded free MP3s (once again the teleseminar recordings)

  -WMA files that I downloaded (records of my seminars)

  All this has played before. I can't put my finger when he started, although I think that things started to get weird when I downloaded itunes months ago, but I don't remember this particular problem from this time.

  I searched the Web for similar positions, but found none.

  So... any suggestions would be most appreciated.

  Thank you very much
  David

  Hello OutbackDAL,

  Thank you for your message.  There is an option in iTunes to convert all the songs to the .aac format.  This might be the reason why you are not able to play in Media Player, because this format is not supported in Media Player 11.  Right click on one of the songs that can not play and check the format of the song.  If the song is the .aac format, you will need to convert it to another compatible format or .mp3.  If the song is already in a readable format, you can watch download or install a new Codec.  Sometimes, they have several players (that is to say real, Rhapsody, iTunes, etc.) can damage your Codec.  You can get the Windows Media Player Codec from the link below.

• Why my windows media player 11 has deleted all albums?

  Open media player has chosen an album hit game and each album deleted

  The Windows Media Player library does not contain the files themselves, only shortcuts to the. If you remove the actual file, it will get removed from the library.

  About your mp3 player, if you have it set to sync automatically, and the files are no longer on your computer, they will be removed by the player.
