• Windows Media Player duplicate songs shows, does not show album titles or art of Seagate NAS Media Server

  I just bought a Seagate BlackArmor NAS 110, copied my music to her collection (a big bunch of WMA and MP3 files) and activated the press service that would allow my music to be listened traveled with other DLNA devices.

  I then pulled up to my Windows 7 laptop and opened Windows Media Player. The NAS media appeared immediately. I clicked on "The Album->" under the name of server. Here is what I get:

  -All photos are displayed in the list

  -No album art

  -L' artist album appears usually (but), instead of the title of the album

  -Some albums are displayed with duplicates (2 or even 3 copies) of each track

  What happens here? Is there a problem with the Seagate DLNA implementation? Windows Media Player is getting confused somehow?

  To delete duplicate entries, click on another tab of feature in the Player (for example the current playback), then library.

  If this does not remove duplicates from your library, you can add it to the library of the computer search dialog box to analyze a file on your computer the entries double invalid pointing. The player will remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder.
   
  Method 1:

  To use the Add to library dialog box search for computers.

  1. start Windows Media Player.

  2. press F3 on your keyboard to open Add to the library of the computer search dialog box.

  3. click on the Browse button to locate the file on your computer so that your library contains invalid entries. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

  If you are not sure what duplicate in your library entry is not valid, you can add a path column to display in your library.

  4. specify the folder on your computer that matches the path invalid file displayed in your library.
  Click on the Search button.

  The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder that you specify and remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder. If not valid in double entries point to other folders on your computer, repeat this procedure, specify a different folder every time.
   
  If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by double-clicking the invalid entry and then clicking on delete.
   
  If you have a large number of entries in doubles in your library (or if your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library.

  Method 4:

  How can I prevent double or invalid entries to be added to my library when I play music files?

  When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.

  To prevent it be automatically added to your library of music files

  1. in Windows Media Player, click the Tools menu, Options.

  2. on the Player tab, clear music to add to the library when played check box.

  Thanks and regards.

• How can I reset Windows Media Player to use songs on my external backup drive instead or in addition to the songs on my desktop with Windows Vista Edition basic hard drive family?

  How can I reset the Player Windows Media in Windows Vista Home Basic to use the songs on my external backup drive instead of (or in addition to) the songs on my desktop hard drive?  Currently, the Media Player library indicates that the hard drive (C:\) is my only option of disks to use for sources of songs.

  Basically, I want to have Media Player external drive for all the songs from research and build his library on this disc instead of on the C:\ drive.
  My problem is that the songs are hogging too much space on my hard drive, so I want to move to my external drive to backup instead, but Media Player will not access it.  I saw an option in Media Player to add a song to a different drive to the library whenever I play a song of this player, but that would require me to play all the songs moved one at a time, which is not practical, and which would not solve my problem because Media Player could still be maintaining the library on my HDD to say.
  Any ideas?
  Thank you.

• Why Windows Media Player plays the song wrong when I click it in a playlist?

  I did a huge selection automatically (with 145 songs) with five-star is Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7 on my Dell XPS L702X.

  So, let's say that I want to hear "Everybody Hurts [edit]" r.e.m. I click on n, it starts WMP play "Slips through my fingers" by Agneta Fältskog!
  He plays another song which is 24 positions above!
  At first, it used only for touch me when I was sorting the songs in the playlist by Genre, Album, year, etc... But now, even with the contributing artist, he played another song!
  The only way for her to play the song I want is with some navigation arrow keys or when I clicked on the playlist and I'd get a unsorted list. With the unsorted list, I find the song.
  It's a difficult problem, but I have a temporary solution. But please try to find an answer!
  EDIT: now at random. Unsorted perspective will give me wrong songs and the artist's view contributing sort will give me good music! What a mix! Say that it is a "re - Mix"!

• Windows Media Player keeps adding files to the image library

  Why Windows Media Player (version 12.0.10011.16397 on Windows 10) continue to add folders to the photo library? I have used libraries to manage all files-> deleted photos and add the only folder I want. After a while, even without having to restart Media Player, the default images and OneDrive files reappear. Please can someone stop this madness?

  I found the answer to this question. I had problems with cancelled OneDrive and re-Binder tries to solve the problem. In turn, every time I re-related OneDrive the additional files got added to the Media Player automatically and without notice.

• Windows Media Player - How to save photos in the library media player on my hard drive?

  I have recently more written inadvertently a lot of a very important .jpg files in my folder of photos but I found them in the windows media player library... However there is no record available option... How to save them in a folder that can access my photo editing software?

  There are 343 photos in a folder under my pictures... I crushed 42 photos... they appear in the library media player as the photos that more wrote the originals... but the media player library shows other 299 photos but they are NOT in the original folder... and I don't find them by searching even with the file name, the entire computer to research.

• Windows media player duplicate tracks

  all music library entries are duplicated. How to remove duplicate entries, deletion does not work, affects the remaining tracks game

• Windows Media Player is unable to store settings of library management

  Everytime I open WMP a message in the lower bar tells me THAT WMP is update of libraries of music, video and photo.

  This slows down my computer and WMP lock causes.

  I don't want my music library updated, I go to libraries to manage and delete addresses stored video & photo library, then save and exit.

  However, whenever I do this, WMP fails to save my changes and I have the same problem the next time I open WMP. My video and photo library folders reappear in the WMP library locations list.

  Its for this reason that I no longer use Windows Explorer, as I was sick of having to adjust the width of the columns, types of columns, types of icons, etc, whenever I opened it.

  Fortunately, I found some file management software not Microsoft that handles this simple task.

  Is it so hard for your software to store the settings? Is anyway at all to prevent WMP video update and photo libraries everytime I open WMP? I tried many things, but nothing works.

  Concerning

  John C

  Let us know how it goes btw, I forgot to mention another method of navigation that can put files in WMP... If you have links to 'Pictures' and 'Video' in your Start menu and click on them it seems also to recover (not what you want) in order to avoid their use, or better still to delete... Right click on the taskbar -'Properties' - tab "Start menu" - "Customize" - and scroll down to 'Photos' and dot the circle 'view... etc' and then even for 'Vidéos'.

  Best - R.

• Rename the titles burned to cd audio with windows media player

  Hello

  I just burned a few audio songs (downloaded on the internet) on an audio CD, using the installation of 'Burn' of Windows Media Player. The songs on my PC contain all the information, including the title of the track. However, after burning, the tracks on the audio CD appear as "Track 1", "Track 2" and so on. I tried to rename the tracks first on the audio CD, which was not possible.  Then I copied the tracks from the audio CD in a folder on my PC, renamed them here, but when I tried to copy or burn back on the audio CD, the impossible reputation copied or written to the audio CD tracks.  Could you let me know how can I rename the tracks so that the title of the correct range is displayed on the audio CD?

  Thank you

  Anyway thanks, learned a little about WMP in the process!
