  Hello

  1. don't you also get an error with the message code?
  2 have you installed third-party readers part?
  3. What is the format of the files you are trying to play?

  Follow these steps and check if they help.

  Step 1:

  I would have you readers of third party temporarily Uninstall and check if persists it to the question.

  Step 2:

  Most likely you need codecs to play these files with Windows Media Player. I suggest looking up codec in the Internet that supports the file format, download and install them.

  I would be grateful yuour help solve the problem.

  Thank you

  Paresh

  Hello Paresh,

  The Pinnacle program is third party software that is causing the problem to occur. Pinnacle may be in conflict with your music files playing in Windows Media Player, that's why, I suggest you to contact pinnacle and check with them.

  Windows Media Player 12 is probably to use the codecs used by pinnacle, which may be the culprit.

  appear windows media player acountered a problem when creating or saving the playlist

  To the WMP library, please click on organize and select manage libraries - music . What places are? If there is no available location, remove them and also make sure that a default save location is set. Do the same for the other libraries (videos, pictures, and Recorded TV).

  If this does not help, close WMP, open Windows Explorer, right-click the music library, select Properties and click on restore by default . After that, make sure that a backup location is defined (as indicated by a check mark).

• Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file.

  I've had this laptop for a decent amount of years, and for a while, the music player was working fine. Sometimes this message would jump to the top, and then others it would not. Until a few weeks ago, he never seemed to go away and work again. Now, I do everything I can to remedy this. But it doesn't seem to work. I need for this weekend, really bad.

• Windows media player vs. itunes question

  my family has products that are generic mp3 players (sony products) using windows media player and apple (iphone and ipad) products that need to use iTunes.

  what I really have two different copies of my music on my PC libraries to manage two types of devices?

  the player windows media allow for iPhone or iPad instead of iTunes?

  can you tell me any documentation or article which discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the two and provides recommendations on how to support the two players on the same PC?

  given a choice - if we are really to have two copies of the files - which I think we do but am not 100% sure - while would you - load Windows Media Player first and then import them into iTunes, or vice versa?

  I tried both, but it seems to mess up the representation of the library and search for music files.

  Is it possible to do so and have reasonable library for both products organisation?

  I should potentially rip my cd of in the two products separately, rather than do an import of the library from one to the other?

  any help or suggestion concerning best practices would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Barbara

  As long as you follow the MP3 format, there is no need to do a conversion. Both WMP and iTunes should be able to manage libraries of music very well, and you can point them both to the same places (no need to maintain two separate copies).

  As an alternative to iTunes, you can also use Winamp iPod support. To import the WMP library in Winamp (and keep it synchronized), you can use Windows Media Player Import plugin.

• Windows Media Player playback speed problem - static...

  I play an MP3 to an audio book on WMP file and when I go on it 2 X normal playback speed, suddenly the sound produces a static noise. The audio is always readable, but static electricity is super annoying.

  Do you know what causes this and how to fix it?

  Thank you very much

  Thanks for the tips... I found actually an ideal solution that completely eliminated the problem...

  I previously converted the audio book in MP3 format, and as I said, I had that static when going above 2 X the playback speed.

  Well, what I did to solve the problem is the following:

  I used RealPlayer (which is a 100% free tool) to convert the MP3 to a Windows Media Audio file. Just click convert to button in RealPlayer and change the settings and press convert...

  AND'RE YOU READY TO GO...

  The audio is excellent... zero static... and now I can listen to the audio book of more than 2 X the normal speed in Windows Media Player and do with it in less time that I would otherwise...

  It's a beautiful thing!

  Wanted to leave instructions because other people have noticed that they have had this problem and I am sure that there will be more who need a solution in the future...

  Cool - let me know if you have any questions for those facing the same question...

• what media (zune, windows media player or itunes) Player is easier to move the music from?

  Well, I'll get an Ipod for myself and give my dad my old Zune.  It also has an mp3 player that works with Windows Media Player.

  I'm not talking to music that is bought from Itunes or Microsoft.  I'm talking about music that was taken from the CDs.

  Before you start to tear up, I would like to know what software makes it easier to move or copy music to others or if it will be difficult no matter what happens.

  Thanks and sorry if this post makes no sense complete, I was in a hurry.

  It is usually unnecessary to transfer or copy anything when you use several media players. If you stick to MP3 format and point all media on the same folder of music players (in most cases, this will be your personal music folder), then the media player should automatically pick each other ripped songs.

• Windows Media Player network sharing problems

  Hello

  I operate a laptop Gateway using Windows 7. In recent weeks, I started receiving messages saying "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Configuration Application has stopped working and needs to be closed." After this, another message appears asking if I want to report the problem to Windows. This happens about once every 5 minutes or so, even when the Media Player does not work. If anyone has experienced this problem and is there a way to fix or disable this feature of sharing media player? Thank you for your time.

  Patrick Taylor

  Hello patrick1210,

  Sorry for the delay in responding to your message.

  In the views of others with the same question, it seems that maybe that's a problem with the file mf.dll.
  Some have been able to replace the file.

  A few suggestions:
  (1) run SFC to see if you have corrupted system files.
  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

  Reboot your system.

  (2) register the dll from the command prompt. Go to a command prompt, right click and select 'run as administrator '.
  Regsvr32.exe mf.dll

  If please reply back and let us know if this helps with your question.

  Sincerely,

  Marilyn
