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.

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

  • Windows Media Player - print the contents of the library

    Hi guys

    I have a pretty extensive library of music stored on my PC and run on Windows Media Player 11.

    My wife just bought a new MP3 player and I want to select these pieces she wants synched on his device.

    I want to do it is have a print to track quotes as they appear in the WMP library so that it can go through and mark the tracks you want she wants. At the moment I can't find a way to do this other than by entering a series of screen shots and pasting in Word.

    Any suggestions there or the will of the screenshot is the only way.

  • Windows Media Player deletes the files in library

    Several months previously, Windows Media Player has lost all the files that I had added to the library.  Only three files remain, in my view, are examples of files.  I can access my music going directly in the folder and opening the file from there, but I can't view the files in WMP.  I searched questions similar and tried the recommendations given here, but none have worked.

    I tried to rebuild the library.

    I tried to disable WMP and then the reactivation, and then when I open WMP, repopulated with all my music library! But after shutting down the computer and WMP the next day, I looked at the library fill and empty then back down into the three sample files.

    I did a scan of SFC system today, and the only corrupt files that it found were related to Internet Explorer, that he fixed.

    There is no new updates to Windows Installer.  I'm running Windows 7 Pro.  The computer is about 2 years old, and WMP worked well until a few months ago.

    Hello

    The most common cause for problems of library WMP is 3rd party players trying to take exclusive
    library control or have unusual storage settings. 3rd part antivirus/security programs can
    also be involved.

    Think outside the box, because it is not likely to be an internal error of WMP.
