Windows media player: how to remove quick double copies?

How can I remove double copies of all content on windows media player?

Hello

If the problem is with double soundtracks in the Windows Media Player library, this problem occurs because the Windows Media Player library database is corrupted.
 
To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

(a) output Windows Media Player.

(b) click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

(c), select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

(d) restart Windows Media Player.

Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

(a) output Windows Media Player

(b) click Start, click run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

(c) select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

(d) restart Windows Media Player.

Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    How can I remove Media Player visualizations? I tried to delete the folder of visualizations, but no dice. The poster viewing Options window and a button Delete, but the button is grayed. It has been possible to select "No visualization", but appears not to be the case any longer.

    It's driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    I feel so stupid! To remove the visualizations, right-click on NOW PLAYING, do not select "no visualizations." That's all. I don't know why I had not met before. SORRY for taking your time, Halima!

    Thanks again for going through so much trouble for me.

  • Windows media player has been removed from my computer

    I don't know how, but windows media player has been removed from my computer.  I have Windows 7.  When I try to play my music I get this error message:

    "The file wmploc.dll has a version # 12.0.7600.16667 where 12.0.7601.17514 was expected.  Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. "

    I go to the download site and it will only settle down if I have Windows 7 K (I think) or something else.  I'm trying to download and it will not accept it.

    Should I restore my computer back to Windows Media Player?

    Windows media player how

    How to print a CD label for the playlist that I burned? I was not able to find a way to do it. I do not painfully a label using MS word. There should be a way to copy it and print it.

    You can export the play list to Word with the exporter of Info Media plug-ins, which is part of the WMP9 series Winter Fun Pack 2003: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/wm_winterfun.mspx (do not worry about the label 'WMP9 Series', the plugin still works fine in newer versions).

    To export the playlist, select the playlists in the left sidebar of WMP, right-click the playlist and select send to - Media Info exporter .

  • Windows Media Player - How to delete photos/videos

    On my dv8t running win 7 64 bit, when I download pix or videos on my laptop

    the pix stored in my pix, videos my videos - OK, all right.

    Sometimes I'll delete pix and videos from this area.

    When I open windows MEDIA PLAYER, if it goes to my pix, it shows pictures of the pix, HOWEVER,

    If there are some pix that were removed, a generic icon instead of the thumbnail of the photo deleted.

    Exactly the same thing with videos. I tried to delete these Windows MEDIA PLAYER, however the icons

    which is now deleted pix & videos will not disappear.

    Anyone know how to get rid of 'em once and for all?
    Thank you

    Hi Billy,

    Try the following to force Windows Media Player to rebuild the library database.

    A handy utility to view all the files on your PC is called Commander free of charge, on the link below, because it displays the files that the operating system normally hides and has a search function.

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/PHP/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10

    It is a zipped file.  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip , which can be used to open it so that you can run the Setup program.

    Make sure that Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center are closed.

    Launch free Commander, double-click users, double-click on 'your username', double-click local settings, double-click Application Data, double-click Microsoft and double-click Media Player.  Delete all files with the extension .wmdb - do not delete all the files.

    Close the free Commander and open Windows Media Player - it will now start to rebuild the database of library which can take some time, but when it has finished you should see that you already deleted the files are no longer listed here.

    Kind regards

  • 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.

    I'm not sure I understand the last 4 words in your sentence "... at all levels."

    I'm going to shoot black...
    Open Windows Media Player > play a piece of music > it reduce in the taskbar.
    Right-click on your Volume icon in the taskbar (bottom right of the taskbar) > click Open Volume Mixer > see Media Player among others? > move the cursor upwards or downwards, the desired volume level > out the Volume mixer

    3. FINALLY, IN ANY CASE TO HAVE WMP DISPLAY THAT DUPLICATE FILES OF VERY LARGE SELECTIONS IN WMP AS IN OTHER PLAYERS?

    IN OTHER READERS MULTIMEDIA ALL OF THESE OPTIONS ARE VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND, BUT TRYING TO CONFIRM IF THESE OPTIONS ARE STILL AVAILABLE IN EACH WM PLAYER, OR WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER? IF NOT WHY?

    THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE HELP, AND SORRY FOR THE CAPS, WAS IN THE PRESS OF TYPE DID NOT YET TOO LATE. Thank you!!!

    Thanks for the reply Andrew, I could find on finally on my own how to record at least my playlists on disc ext menu options list, Phew!

    By Andrew

    The higher WMP classic view, R.click as its top icon to the left of the task bar.

    (I right click on all WMP icons, not found any option to select Classic Menu etc.)

    By Andrew,.

    Once through, locate the Tools tab, options, all settings appear in a new window.

    You can specify where you want the stored files, other HDs are ok to store media.

    (Only option I could find was in burning CDs or audio, no video, see nothing that says Tools menu etc?) Unless it's just a term used)

    By Andrew,.

    Regarding the release, seek HELP, under the Tools tab, select this option, for about

    In addition, in HELP, you can select 'online' help, gets you the WMP data

    (I've looked everywhere on WMP, in and through the help screens, even online, I have found no opportunity to tell me what version I have or if a version update better etc was available for my Win 7 PC) Not sure if I'm in an old outdated version or something, where I can't see what kind of things etc.?

    Even WMP version that came with my PC rebuilt Win 7 so.

    As mentioned, until recently I've always stayed away from WMP because has always been too hard to navigate common options like that compared to other players like VLC, etc, where all the elements above have never been a problem, but I need to video option Preview of WMP, I guess that WMP isn't always as friendly so will need to understand more.

    I always try also confirm is there a way in WMP to display only, all files duplicate in the largest playlists etc? Thanks for the help!
