  Hello

  1. is the specific issue of the reading list?

  2 are you able to add other songs in the Windows Media Player library?

  3 did you changes to the computer before the show?

  The Player library is the location in the player that lists all of the music, videos and photos on your computer.

  When you play a media file on your computer or a removable storage device, the file is automatically included in the Player library, so you can access it directly from the reader. And if you have access to remote media stored on other computers on your network, you can change the player settings to add those files remotely to the Player library when you play them. The reader does not automatically add a file that you play from removable media, such as a CD or DVD.

  Since you aren't able to add songs to the library, you can try the following and see if they help.

• Unable to transfer songs purchased on the iTunes store to Windows Media Player library

  Windows Media Player

  I bought songs from the itunes store and they were saved in my music folder. I want to create a CD but can't get the songs went to the Windows Media Player library or create playlists. Help, please. Thank you

  Hello everyonelovestotravel,

  Windows Media Player does not support Itunes because the format is not compatible. The Itunes are .acc format and is not supported by Windows Media Player. If you want to burn the Itunes for Windows Media Player, I suggest that you convert the files to mp3 format, and then burn. You can convert files using some of the third-party conversion software. You can use your favorite search engine to search for the software.

  DISCLAIMER OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE:

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Thank you

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

  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.

  I received a request to share Windows Media Player library. I'm not on a network. Is this some type of malware or something? How should I handle this? A month ago, I received a similar request for iTunes sharing Jeremy-PC. Help, please. My computer has been hacked?

  You're invited because you are on a network, this is a security feature of Windows.

• Songs do not appear in the Windows Media Player library

  WIndows Media Player 12 adding not songs

  I got my new PC with Windows 7 this afternoon and more than 10,000 songs completely copied into the My Music folder.  None of these songs will appear in the library of Windows Media Player 12 songs. My Music folder is one of the libraries of WMP to default save location.  Only 3 songs are appearing in the library, and those are the three on the Public Music folder.  Yet when I add a song to the public music folder, it is added to the library. Then when I close WMP, and re - open, we are back to 3 original songs!  I spent an hour with HP support tonight and didn't get anywhere.  I tried the system restore.  I tried to restore the library.  I think that my WMP is maybe damaged.  Any thoughts on what I'm missing here?

  I read this on another topic, try it.

• Removal of Windows Media Player "Library" entries for files that I deleted

  I deleted a bunch of files of music from my computer (directly in Windows Explorer), but registration for the music files deleted still appear in my Windows Media Player "library".  I tried to right click and select 'Delete', but it does NOTHING.

  Any ideas how I get rid of these old entries. I hope I don't have to uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player!

  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 1: To resolve this problem, clear the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.

  3. 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.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
