• Windows Media Player 11 lists and plays each song twice

  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.

• "Windows Media Player 12 - corrupted library.

  original title: the woes of 'Windows Media Player 12.

  Good first day and all.

  "Windows Media Player 12" (like the one provided with 'Windows 7') - I can't get it to work reliably.  No, this, scratching for 'reliable' read 'at all '...
  We have a library of about 35 000 titles, coded as "Windows Media Audio (Lossless)" (so using the Microsoft CODECs).  My sync.s with a Microsoft Office "Windows Mobile 6.1" ' phone ("HTC" "Touch HD" to be precise).
  Usage only I do 'Windows Media Player' is to synchronize playlists with my ' phone.  I tend not to listen to anything to help I have much better way to listen to music through a system of his PC and speakers crammed into an LCD monitor.  So "Windows Media Player" is just sitting there in the background.
  And some days she who will be quite happy without problems.  However (average) about 3 - 4 times a week, it will crash just randomly - up comes a dialog box saying «Windows Media Player has stopped working...» » ; or upward will come a message on my workspace is corrupted - "Media Player" will apparently remove and recreate automatically for me the next time it starts.
  The problem with that is it then everyone loses sync. settings, because it creates a new ID of the library for the new library, so I have to go and re - set my mobile, re-set-up device synchronization settings all the playlists I want to sync, etc etc etc etc and all this only after a wait of several hours for "Windows Media Player" to actually re-created the library first place.
  Basically, it's the two 'Windows Media Player' himself and tries to synchronize the music with my mobile device actually completely unnecessary and impracticable.  I'm not fan of Apple products but with Microsoft software using the Microsoft CODECs and synchronization to a mobile operating system of Microsoft being so completely and totally unnecessary I can quite understand why people just go and buy iPod (or iPhone, or...)-at least Apple understand media, including Microsoft obviously doesn't...
  So, after only 4 hangs 2 library reconstructions and only today (he is obviously having a particularly bad day today...) I thought that "enough is enough" and sought technical support options.
  Now, I'm not about to pay stupid amounts to Microsoft to tell them that their software is broken, and for them, finally, to answer "Yes, and? ...".  So I thought I would look on the Microsoft support site to see what options are available.  Apparently none - despite 'Windows 7' having been out for a while now, all Microsoft support pages only refers to 'Windows Media Player' versions up to version 11.  Come on Microsoft, which is pretty poor, is it not?  I know only for about 2 years 'Windows 7' RTM (Release To Manufacturing), so maybe it's a little early to wait to talk about "Windows Media Player 12" on your sites... support?  (this is sarcasm, in case anyone was wondering...)
  So I turn on the forums.  Does anyone else have a great experience (and I think that ~ 35 000 titles probably called 'wide') libraries with "Windows Media Player 12", and if so have you had any problems?  Someone has suggestions for additional diagnostics (for example, try to establish exactly what causes the library should be damaged or for 'Windows Media Player' suddenly to be considered "stopped working")
  ?
  What's happening on my machine "Windows 7 Professional (x 64)" with 8 GB of RAM and a lot of free space on the disk, so resources should not be a problem. "  It also happens on all the various other machines that we have here (all running "Windows 7 Professional"; for most of the "x 64").  It never used to happen with all that the latest version of 'Windows Media Player' was to 'XP' (but who had his "own collection of the bad guys to use"ActiveStink"...) so there shouldn't be anything specific library - it certainly seems to be problems specifically with "Windows Media Player 12".
  Any suggestions gratefully received...

  Method 1 fixed an issue, I've had where Media player would not start.    If I tried to play an mp3 file I get "Server error".  Bad shooting Diagnostics said my configuration was corrupted and my library was corrupt.  But it didn't fix it. Uninstall and reinstall using Windows features has not solved my problem.   With the FixIt solution, my problem has been resolved.

  Follow the same steps above and put a tick in the box next to WMP to reactivate. That should solve the problem of corruption.

• Windows media player is corrupt or configuration settings may be unsettled

  My windows media player suddenly started acting weird (slow ripping time; doubling and tripling occasionally, content CD for example library). On troubleshooting, I repeatedly get two messages: 1) library is corrupted. (2) configuration settings can be setincorrectly. I get no additional guidance where to go/how to fix and I keep going round in circles with the troubleshooting packs. any ideas. I only used it for audio so far

  I have tried many suggestions for an error where Windows Media Player (WMP) would not play any music or video files after a reinstall of Windows 7 online.

  All the drivers have been checked for the latest driver in Device Manager after reinstallation.

  Update of drivers have been installed, if necessary,

  Not all files would play in WMP.

  Error messages have been the library WMP files were corrupt or configuration settings can be unruly.

  None of the suggestions online worked for me.

  Try the following:

  Right click on this web page and create a shortcut on your desktop at the top of the landing page after the reboot.

  Click on: start - type "device manager".

  Click: Device Manager

  Click on: "audio, video and game controllers".

  Click on: Driver tab

  Click: CODEC Audio of IDT high definition (HD)

  Click: uninstall

  Reset

  DOWNLOAD: IDT high definition (HD) Audio CODEC 2013

  (You can get this leave you PC service site manufacturer or an application to update the driver.)

  Reset

  This solved my problem.

  I hope this helps.

• The library used by Windows Media Player is corrupt. What can I do?

  We have removed the virus that caused it (the library is still corrupted), but now we can't find one of our photos, videos or documents.  We saw all our photos and videos for a few minutes when we opened the Windows Media Player for the first time, but as soon as the update is complete, all disappeared.  When we click on 'Properties' on a couple of records that appear still under 'Photos', the file size and the number of files, the two seem to be OK; However, when we open the file, it is empty.

• 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.

  1. Exit Windows Media Player.
  2. If you are running Windows XP, click Start, click run, type %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoftand then click OK.

• I deleted a single file from my Windows Media Player 11 library and now I want it in my library - how should I do this?

  Am running Windows XP and removed a single file of the library only (and not from the library and my computer) and can see the file in the folder, it can play in Windows Media Player by clicking on it in the folder, but can't find a way to 'restore' the file so I can see it again in my WMP library.  Any way to do this without rebuilding the entire library?

  Hi JohnEvergreen,

  Follow these steps:

  (a) open Windows Media Player (WMP).

  (c) restore files. Click on the 'Advanced Options' button in the dialog 'Add to library'. In the column "watched folders" make sure that the folder that contains your original music is selected, which is indicated in the column "Type" as "Rip folder. Look under the section "watched folders" and ensure that a tick is filled to "Add files previously deleted from the library." Click on the 'OK' button and wait for the dialog box "Add to library by searching computer" to open it.

  (d) in the look in dialog box "Add to library by searching computer" at the 'progress' bar, indicated by a green line moving from left to right; also, below, monitor the "found files" and "added files" account.
