Windows Media Player splits my albums. __

I have problems with the media player split my music in several different albums.
I still have the originals intact in my music, but the media player has made a mess of everything when you view them from the media player!
I've taken away permissions inhereted from media player and I'm the only person who has permissions to access the media player.
I deleted all the music in the Media Player library, but it wont let me add them back in my music.
How can I fix it?

Hello
 
To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on 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.
If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
4. restart Windows Media Player.
Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database

    2) click on tools, located on the top toolbar.

    (3) then Folder Options.

    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\eHome\Art Cache
    (with the corresponding "USERNAME").

  • Windows Media Player 12 loses album artist information when you use WHS .wav

    There seems to be a bug in WMP 12 who loses the album artist information when you use a WHS .wav files.

    Installation - WMP 12 on Windows 7 ultimate. WHS pp3. Music files stored in .wav format.

    There is a marking Wav format is possible. I read on Broadcast Wav files. They are 32-bit. I also read on 64-bit Wav files. What I read there is a limit to the size of the files Wav 32-bit and 64-bit Wav files exceed this limit. Most of the people don't need now. But as a producer of music, I can see how me should before you. Look for a program called reason by Propellerhead software: http://www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/. I ' v read in their help file, you can send support and they will help you find what you need. I've also read about this and said a little on other internet forums for producers. I have no reason, I use another software.

    Broadcast Wav: He is apparently slightly different than regular Wav files. It doesn't have as much support. Some programs or systems apparently don't read the id3 tags, have trouble with the id3 tags or have trouble with this format. So until this id3 Wav tagging is common and Wav files EVENTUALLY get their marking permanently, then what is out at the moment is all that is available.

    WMA lossless, Wav and mp3 320 kbps, etc. have a difference in sound. Listen for yourself on your device with the SAME material and the SAME Ripper programs your test files.

    The other way I tested is: I make music. Then I tore, Wav, WMA Lossless and a type of lossless, mp3 320 Kbps and mp3 256 kbps. I put all the them in the music program, I separated, but on the same timeline. I cut everything that I did not listen. I spent some time checking them. There were notable and other differences not so. I noticed a difference in the WMA and WAV. It's light and sometimes noticeable. Most people cannot tell the difference, and an MA at home or in a club from a Wav will not be a huge difference, especially when a Dj, or you can set low, the midrange and treble slightly.

    I couldn't test the AAC lossless files. My program is old and can't stand them. AAFC would however close to WMA. Give or take.

    WAV is a champion and always the wins service. I wish he was marking. :-).

    Windows Media Player has a certain set of algorithms. And one CAN customize the tear. Some ripping programs ALLOW you to customize the way in which he is torn. But you can run into problems. For example: some compression or equalizer settings are perfect for 90% of an album, but most of the songs are recorded differently or edited and mixed differently. If they are not always level throughout the album, and there may be some fluctations.

    I myself would enjoy tears to measure for a better quality and even be able to MAXIMIZE the lossless or compressed (for example: mp3) formats and make their the best sound possible. But it takes too long, and most people don't have this time or need this. These people do as a profession, are HARDCORE audiophiles or archive sound for a much higher use,:-P.

    I don't know what are the algorithms of WMP to rip. ITunes or WinAmps, etc.. It comes to be able to do custom tears. These algorithms affect your copy, transfer and archiving. This is another reason why each program is slightly different, even when they use the same open or not open source coding.

    That's what I'v has learned. It's the best I got.

  • Is there anyway easily re - download, or repair windows media player in Windows 7?

    Hello - the wire above contains items that you can try, but before doing so we will just make sure that you are not trying to solve the problem of evil!

    Is the problem with the CD and DVD disks? What happened when you insert a disc and open the optical drive in "Computer" - it shows there? Otherwise, the problem is probably with the optical drive itself rather than WMP... It may simply be that the lens needs cleaning - either with a cleaning disc designed for computers (necessary if this is a stand-alone optical drive) or on a laptop, you could take a chance on cleaning the lens - very gently with a soft brush, you can find. Worst case, you may need to buy a new optical drive, but external usb ones are relatively expensive these days.

    Best regards, Ric.

  • Windows Media Player find manually the info from the album when selected.

    I'm looking to "find album info" by right-clicking on the album in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7. After clicking on it, the dialog box appears and a small globe in the upper left corner turns for a few seconds, then stops and nothing happens. I waited a few hours to make sure. Stay right on the white screen of white. It worked fine with no new changes two days ago and now it is not. I checked to make sure that I work online and am. Retrieve additional information from the internet are checked and media files updated to retrieve information from the internet is selected too. I can connect and browse the stores online through WMP so I don't know that it needs to connect to the internet.

    Nevermind, I found the answer to someone else.  I had to disable Internet Access Manager. For some reason, that it will not allow WMP to connect to internet to download the info from the album.

  • Content of albums and libraries in Windows Media Player is removed

    Original title: WMP 11 Trashes my Playlists

    How can I keep WMP 11 to screw up my playlists?

    Several times I had to re-create all my playlist. After they are created, they work for a while.
    Then all to blow/unexpectedly when I open WMP 11 (on w/SP3 XP Pro installed) some of my albums disappeared and registration of the library is ransacked everything (songs missing, missing data, mysterious created albums).

    Is it one that once I re-created all my playlists that I can save the file somewhere so when WMP 11 trashes them later, I can just remove the information in WMP 11 and copy the file (s) back to basics to avoid re-creating all my playlists over and over?

    Thank you

    Hi Paul,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community!

    The album and lists the library in Windows Media Player are removed.

    The problem may occur if the library database is corrupted.

    You did changes to the computer before the show?

    To overcome the problems which would pose if library database is corrupted, I suggest you follow the mentioned steps:

    Method 1:

    See the site:

    You cannot view, add, or delete items in the library of Windows Media Player 11

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/925718

    Method 2:

    See the site:

    Solve the problems of Windows Media Player video and other media or library

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/

    If you want to reuse the library list and the album, and then copy the contents of the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in a different folder, and whenever you want to reuse, just copy in the original folder.

    I hope this helps. If the problem persists, or if you have problems of Windows in the future, let us know and we would be happy to help you.

    The Windows Media Player library does not contain the files themselves, only shortcuts to the. If you remove the actual file, it will get removed from the library.
