Windows Media Player 11 on XP does not show in the library of all the elements that have files in folders lbrary

I have a number of mp3 files in folders that are defined as part of my WMP library, but the tracks are not listed when I go to the library in WMP, if I list by artist, album or all the songs. I tried running the hotfix that allegedly rebuilt the library database, but still don't see them.

Hello

  • Windows Media Player 11 Date added function - please stop repeating the date for EACH file.

    I have been using Media Player 9, decided to upgrade to Windows Media Player 11, and the only thing I can not stand on Player 11 is how it sorts Date added media files.  In Player 9 when I chose the column Date added, the program would list all the files on a given under a SINGLE date.  With Windows Media Player 11 it lists EACH file with a date so that instead of see Tuesday, December 14, 2010 once and then listing all of the files under it, I see Tuesday, December 14, 2010 about twenty times.  I download podcasts once a week and dump it on my phone, but it's a worry now.  Is it possible to stop Windows Media Player 11 to repeat the date again and again and force him to the date that the list only once?  Think back to Player 9.  Alex

    Hi Alex103,

    It's design in Windows media player 11 and it is also included in Windows Media player 12.

    a. open windows Media player

    b. right-click on one of the sorted column

    c. click Choose column

    d. uncheck data added

  • Windows media player 11 in XP does not play DRM files

    I have a new installation of SP3 and the latest WMP11 on XP Home.

    I get this error when I try to play any DRM file any provider:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/Webhelp/default.aspx?&mpver=11.0.5721.5262&ID=C00D11B1&ContextId=71&OriginalID=80070057
    You met the C00D11B1 error message when you use Windows Media Player.
    Original Original error error Code
    80070057 one or more arguments are invalid.

    All other types of video or audio files that are not protected by DRM play without problem, so there is no problem with the audio device or the ID3 headers because none of the DRM files I've tried are MP3s.

    Many hours of research I find that the error is returned for various problems. I tried all the solutions, and none of them solve the problem.  It may be missing or conflicting codecs like all types of files not DRM play without problem. The quartz.dll is recorded and uncorrupted. I reinstalled WMP11 several times. I have reset the DRM with Microsoft tools both Netlix and individualized WMP11 using several MS individualazition sites and by force using the command-line of the several times with each reinstall.

    The last thing I tried is to use the resetDRM tool and not to individualize and then installed Amazon Unbox for rentals and video purchases. I ran the troubleshooting included in Unbox and let individualize WMP11, then troubleshooting reported no problems with my set-up. I downloaded a free file short Amazon and although he'll play the Amazon unbox player, trying to read the file in WMP11 always returns the same error as before and therefore trying to play one of the other DRM files I have.

    If someone has another solution or an idea of what to check that the usual suspects?

    Hello

    Sometimes, this problem can be caused contributions file included with the MP3 ID3 headers. Make a copy of the file and then use an ID3 tag non - editing program Microsoft to remove or reset the file's ID3 headers.

    Caution:

    • Try to remove ID3 headers might damage the file and make it unplayable. Therefore, always make a copy of the file before editing.

  • Windows media player (11) starts, but does not play file

    When I double-click an audio file, WMP opens but then does not play the file.

    MP3 and WMA (and other formats) files are configurΘ for dΘmarrer with default WMP and video files to various formats still work very well.
    I can get the audio to play by doing a right click and select 'Open with' - 'WMP '.  Drag and drop files into the playlist now also does not work.
    I'm under WMP 11 on XP Pro version.
    Any ideas?

    This just started recently?
    If so, what has changed?

    Try to uninstall the codec pack, it can cause conflicts, play media files.

    If the problem persists, try reinstalling the Media Player and test.

  • Windows Media Player 12 "Play To" does not work

    I am trying to use the "Play To" feature between two Windows 7 computers.  Both behave the same way.  When I select the "Play To" feature at the top right of the window, the "Play To" dialog box appears very briefly.  In fact, so briefly that I just see the outline - no text inside (I don't see "play to" in the title area).  I have all the media streaming features turned on and I can 'see' libraries (and can view all photos/videos, etc) - I just can't "play to." I tried two computers in both directions.  I don't get the error messages and I don't see anything in the log files.  Note that, when I try to use the "Play To" feature in Windows Explorer, I get the following error "as it is impossible to find the resource specified in the image file type."

    To the WMP library, please click on organize and select manage libraries - music . What places are? If there is no available location, remove them and also make sure that a default save location is set. Do the same for the other libraries (videos, pictures, and Recorded TV).

    If this does not help, close WMP, open Windows Explorer, right-click the music library, select Properties and click on restore by default . After that, make sure that a backup location is defined (as indicated by a check mark).

  • 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.
