Windows Media Player only recognizes the song titles when they are imported from itunes, imported in the form of wav files.

Hi, I imported/ripped music in form of wav files using WMP first and imported into itunes so that I can sync w / my ipod but itunes recognized only the first words of the music info (generally the number of song, title, ect). ITunes would allow me to change the info. So I decided to import my 7 000 more songs again using itunes, in the hope of finding the songs via watched folders to WMP. Well, that was the case, but he only identified the song number and the title. Now, I have a long list of other/unknown.

I can get information in WMP via "Find album information", one song at a time, but that would take forever. I imported 318 songs to date. I use wav files to maintain the quality of the sound.  Can someone tell me an easier way?

Hi MarkyB13,

You might have items in your library in Windows Media Player that have missing or incorrect media information.

  • Windows Media Player display incorrect or old titles of songs in the playlist

    What should I do to get Windows Media Player to display the same names as the title of the songs stored on my computer.  I carefully added numbers on the beginnings of all the names of files in a folder (such as '01 -', '02 -', etc., less the quotes) so that they would be in the order I wanted to burn in.  Instead, only some of the songs are numbered.  The One song title is spelled "Untitled - 1", and I guarantee you he NEVER had this title, as I wrote.  When I add songs to the playlist of the folder on my data disc, for a fraction of a second, all the correct names are there, and then they change.  What the hell's up with that?  All I want is for the names of the files to display AS I WANT to BE AFFICHENT THEM, only not just some silly idea at Microsoft from what should be displayed.  In addition, the order that they are placed is almost always random and varies from one time to another.  Once when I added the twenty songs to the playlist that they were in good condition, although of course the names were wrong.  I checked the Options and could find nothing that would be implemented 'display the names of files in the folder.  Is this some sort of media internet update issue?

    Hi David...

    Re - reading the thread I think your best option is to burn the troublesome track on a CD (as mentioned in my previous post - you use a rewritable if possible) If for example the track in question is for example issue 05 titles 1-5 of disc Records and then remove the media * and Explorer libraries (but keep a backup elsewhere just in case) - give the tracks all the correct information and rip them off then back libraries.

    If this still him - could put you up a snip of the incriminated 'details' track properties tab? Cheers - Ric.

  • Error: "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed or deleted'

    Original title: laptop won't read the music files stored on external hard drive

    I have an old Compaq laptop Windows XP, so it was out of memory I transferred everything on a Portable Seagate (500 GB) hard drive and started to access it. It's worked well for over a year, but lately, began to stop playing my music files. Absolutely everything on the hard drive opens, however, images, files and folders, but when I go into Windows Media Player, it pops up with this error message:

    Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to read, burn or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.
    I have not modified parameters or anything that moved. I used to be just able to restart the laptop, or disconnect and reconnect the hard drive and it works again, but now it or not will be not at all, or it will cut off half way through a song and then not to play anything more.
    I can't find any support for this problem because the phone reads that the hard drive is there, and everything else works. Only the music doesn't. I tried to play music on a connected USB and it works fine. I'm so confused!
