    Why Windows Media Player 11 list and play each song twice without being in a loop? Help me

    I have problems with windows media player 11 playing each son twice and it is very annoying.  How can I solve this problem?

    Sara: 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 folder, delete the folder Media Player. 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.

  • Files Windows media player list pane and wav

    During playback of the files audio wav media player try to read the label at the beginning of the file (which is absurd in many cases because of the lack of support of the tag embedded in this format) instead of displaying the name of the file in the list pane, which obviously contains the title of the song.  It is unthinkable that there is no adjustment or the solution to this problem.

  • Quality of its poor window media player with vista and windows 7

    Since I bought my first Vista PC three years ago I never liked playing my music with Windows media player. This is because the sound quality is irritating. For some reason, the volume of any song keeps rising and falling when he plays with the media player but the same player sound perfectly with any other player. Note, in this case with windows Vista and when I upgraded to Windows 7 I have always noticed the same problem. Many of my friends who use Windows vista or windows 7 also complained about this problem.
    Does anyone have a solution to this? Because I can't play my songs with windows media player on my pc windows 7 and I had to keep my old windows xp just to play my songs.

    Hello

    It could be mainly mediocre speakers. Check you drivers.

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS Manager - look for HD Audio Mine said RealTek High Definition Audio

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    1. go to the system manufacturer's website and search for the driver the newest download - SAVE - will click with the button straight on and RUN AS ADMIN
    (This is your rescue.) REBOOT after each installation of driver.

    NOTE: Driver Sound often rollback so check the version after installation and reboot to see if the version you
    installed is there, if not repeat - restart until it is. It may take several tries depending on the recommitments how he
    the fact.

    Then do the same for the site of the manufacturer of the device.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Having trouble getting Windows media player to recognize and extract some burned CD when I insert the CD, nothing comes up on the tab extract. I have licenses for all the protected songs and the same CD was ripped in the past by using media player.

    My computer has a virus and before I wiped it's own, I copied all my files to blank CD I was able to extract these CDs on my computer but they are in the WMA format and I want them in MP3 format. I changed the rip settings but when I put in the CD Ripper re - it, nothing comes tab extract. I tried to delete all the files in windows media player and my computer but media player doesn't always recognize the CD tab extract. I have restored my music files from the bin to WMA, but I really need to extract the songs in MP3 format. What can I do to get Windows to recognize and tear my CD? Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Make sure that there is no CD in the CD drive. Then, go to Options - confidentiality of WMP and click the button Clear the Caches . Restart WMP, and insert a CD you want to re - rip. Are you able to rip the CD now?

    If it still does not work, you can try to rip the CD from another user account (if necessary, create a new user account in the control panel). Afterwards, you can move the files ripped to MP3 to your own original account. Tim Baets

  • Windows 7 - Windows Media Player 12 blocks almost everytime

    Hello

    Almost everytime I open Windows Media Player 12, it crashes. Usually, the window opens but is grey and the cursor indicates that it is busy.

    I tried the following two methods to fix the problem.

    Method 1.
    1. click on start and in the search bar type cmd.exe
    2. right click on cmd.exe and click Run as administrator
    3. in the command prompt, type the following command

    net localgroup "Administrators'" NT Authority\Local Service "/ Add 4. press on enter and restart the computer

    Method 2.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Media Player:

    Step 1.
    Uninstalling Windows Media Player:
    1. go to start and in the search type "Turn Windows willing or not.
    2. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
    3. search for multimedia and uncheck the brand in the face of Windows Media Player.
    4 restart the computer
     
    Step 2.
    Reinstall Windows Media Player:
    1. go to start and in the search type "Turn Windows willing or not.
    2. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
    3. find the multimedia functions and place a check mark in front of the Windows Media Player.
    4 restart the computer.

    Method 2 resolves the issue. However, it got to the point where WMP 12 is useless because almost everytime, it blocks and I'm not ready to have to restart my PC twice in order to watch a video or listen to music.

    Come on Microsoft - please get your this sort and give us a proper and permanent solution to the problem of 7/WMP 12 inherant Windows.

    Kind regards

    Jonesyboi

    I had this problem for months, it was really making me nervous. But I've sorted it.

    The problem was in pictures, corrupted files, not wmp or music that I assumed that would be the question.

    Heal... GB of photos and video. I had some files that had no picture. These are the corrupted files that were the cause of the problem. I had 8 photos and 2 videos that I downloaded on my iPhone 5. I just don't understand how or why it happened. Not a clue.

    Even removing them was difficult, as I went to remove WMP shutdown.

    So I google and download "File Assassin" work all works fine now.

    I curse me Microsoft WMP, but Apple has been the cause of the problem.

    Good luck, WMP is so much better than ITunes.

    If it works let me know. I just would like to know if it helps someone.
