• Windows Media Player shows the library ghost

  I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I deleted everything in my music library, but Windows Media Player shows that I have several albums there. When I try to play songs, WMP says that they aren't there. When I try to delete them, nothing happens.

  Something seems to have gotten corrupted, but I have no idea how to solve this problem.

  You can erase the Media Player library altogether by the removal of the database

  Output Media Player

  Run services.msc and stop the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

  In the box start the search menu, enter %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft , and delete the folder Media Player.

  Open Windows Media Player and it will recreate the database from scratch, so you will get the computer search for media files dialogue.

• Playlist in Windows Media Player, showing the wrong information, even under the properties of the correct info is here

  All WMP suddenly shows for example 8 songs with the same title and by the same artist, immediately... Yet it is not even close... now, not all songs in the list display this... but a good party have begun to do.

  I was working with another program to categorize and organize my files. But since no additions or deletions have been made to the WMP list, which should not change. If anything WMP should happen to a not playable if the file has been moved or deleted.

  A reflection on easily repairng the list? Another then remove the list?

  Thank you

  And a Merry Christmas to all

  What type of file in your music files (MP3, WMA, WAV...)? The songs in the playlist are also added to the WMP library, and they show the correct information there?

  You can try to add new playlist, by right-clicking on it - delete- delete from library only - OK . Then, drag the file from Windows Explorer back in the library selection.

  Windows Media Player and libraries contain no files, you just tell him

  For other users to access the same files, place them in a folder accessible

• Windows Media Player - change the columns that appear under 'Now Playing'

  I would like to change the columns displayed in the views now play and Windows Media Player play list.  The factory default is to show only the fields title and length.  It wouldn't be that big a deal this is something fairly simple to access the page layout options, hit choose columns and select the check boxes for the columns I want to show... but the title and duration are the only fields that it allows me to select from.  He still refuses to allow me to select anything else.  I know that there is a way to display more information, but for the life of me I don't remember how to do so that he can do.  Help?

  Hey,.

  I've recreated the scenario on my Windows Media Player. It shows all the info like length, side, title, album, artist to contribute. Appoint you.

  Scan SFC should be your friend.
