• 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?

  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.

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

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

• Windows Media Player duplicate CD song titles in my library

  I have an eMachine that manages my Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1. Windows Media Player is a 2009 version 12.0.7601.17514.

  It's something that happens recently. I'll open my Windows Media Player to play a CD for each song, or more, is listed twice and played it so twice. I have about 200 CD which I lived and "Removed from library only" all duplicates a couple of times already. It takes several hours and proves to be unsuccessful. It will also double any Playlist I saved. I haven't added a CD or playlist in over a month. I watched the music in libraries and visited account I had my CD listed in 2 places and removed one of them. This has not solved the problem. I ran a complete virus and malware scan complete and find nothing wrong. I find nice WMP and use Lyrics Plugin functionality often. I don't know what to do at this point.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Windows Media Player-audio tracks overlap during playback

  Behavior of strage in WMP from the application of SP1 Win7

  Since the Windows 7 (32 bit premium) with SP1 upgrade, Windows MediaPlayer exposes a stange problem.  With WMP set to auto-repeat during playback, I double click an MP3 file from Windows Explorer.  WMP is launched and the MP3 starts playing.  Seconds from the end of the track, it seems that the track starts again, but then only the first instance of the track is still playing.  It's looks like I'm the same way playing on another media player and from reading about the second, just before the first finishes (so the end of the path of departure of caterpillars are bunk with each other).  Funny is when the trial ends, playback will be stopped all together, WMP that outputs a brief explosion of noise, and then the track starts again from the beginning.  If the track repeats once again, it does not repeat this behavior.  He manages at the end and restart normally. Did not have this before SP1 was applied.  I have a Sony VAIO VGNFZ21S's fully patched.  Thought you would like to know...

  Thanks for the tips.  Unfortunately, it did not apply to my laptop (no improvement is tab ' sounds / Speakers').

  Inspired by your advice however, I started to turn on & off Audio enhancements directly in WMP.  It seems that the fade function is causing my problem.  More I put it, the more noticeable the overlap between the beginning and the end of the track.  Turn off Cross Fade, solved the problem.

  As I said, this behavior has not happened before I applied the SP1, then maybe something related to WMP has been included with SP1 that revealed the problem.

  Once again, thank you for the reply.

• I have problems of duplication in my Windows Media Player.

  The Question I have is how do I keep from getting the song in Windows Media Player duplicate files I copy files Windows Media Player to iTunes?

  Hi John - Yes, that's why you duplicate. You must use iTunes as a library, so that records can stay where they are in 'my music '... Open iTunes for windows - click on 'file' on the toolbar in the top left and select 'Add folder to library'... you can then select the album (s) or no one tracks that you want to copy to iTunes, in this way, without repetition (and they can always be synced to an iPad or a similar device that takes care of iTunes). If you want to remove items that have already double that of WMP to avoid damaging the wmp library (make sure you remove any that are in the iTunes folder - you can check that by double-clicking on the slopes and select open file location), hope that allows you to move again, but come back if you need more help best - Ric

• Several same tracks on Windows Media Player

  Can someone help me?  I have problems with windows media player and it showing multiple tracks of the same track.

  Hello MunkienFlipper,

  Thank you for posting.  This would happen if the location of the file has been changed or if you have multiple copies of the same piece.  This can be corrected by deleting one of the files.  Before doing so, I suggest that you try to read each of the duplicates to see if it will play and then remove registration which do not play.  If two or more in fact play, you can just delete the ones you don't want.

  Please let me know if this helps you.

• How can I change the Art of the track in Windows Media Player?

  I know how to change the album art and I already fixed, but tracks have individual art, designed by the artist, and I want those on their respective titles. I messed around with Windows Media Player for a little bit, but I like the still have not found anything useful.

  I really want this art of the track on my tracks, because it is very important to me.

  Hi NoelleFay,

  I know exactly what you mean, but I don't think that WMP allows this function because most artist do not include only cd art of track individual art.

  I advise you to search/post this question in the forum of Experts of Windows.

  There, the developers of real media meet to solve issues advanced like this.

  Hope this helps,
