Hello

This could be due to problems with Windows Media Player database might be corrupted.

You did the changes for the Windows Media Player settings or files associated with it before this problem?

As with any database, the information that is stored in the database or the database itself can be damaged. The Windows Media Player library database can usually recover automatically from the database. However, the database may be corrupted in such a way that Windows Media Player is unable to recover the database.

I suggest you to rebuild the database and check if it solves the problem for you. Follow the steps:

Method 1:

You can follow the steps:

(a) press simultaneously the Windows and R. box, type the following command and press ENTER:

%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Media Player

(b), select all the files in the folder, and then click delete in the menu file.

Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

(c) restart the Windows Media Player.

Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

Check if you are able to add files to the list of add-in player. If this is not the case, proceed to the next method.

Method 2:

Follow the steps to solve the problem:

(a) press Windows and R key together. Type the following command and press enter:

%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Media Player

(b) select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the File menu.

(c) restart the Windows Media Player.

Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  • Windows Media Player won't find the files on the second hard drive

    Hi hope you can help with this.

    I have Windows 7 and Windows Media Player 12 on my PC.

    My office has two hard drives, one for the operating system and all programs and another larger (drive J:\) for all my files.

    All my audio files are stored in the J:\Audio folder, and this folder is also the default location for my music library (such as configured in Windows and WMP).

    When I load WMP files in J:\Audio are not displayed in the music library.

    If I right click on music > manage a music library and then manually delete the J:\ from the list of library locations, and then re-add it, WMP adds all the files to the library (a process that takes about 20 minutes).

    BUT if I close WMP and re - open again, these files are missing once again.

    It seems that WMP has a blind spot of my second hard drive.

    Any suggestions for what I can do to remedy this?

    Thank you very much!

    Neil.

    Well, I think I found a solution for me at least.

    There is an answer on this thread who has contributed to:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-pictures/songs-do-not-appear-in-the-Windows-Media-Player/a6e80b2e-7367-4529-9dab-5a38ba4167a5?page=5

    This is the fifth detention by djkel.

    This is a summary:

    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.

    One of the files that I had to delete not able to be removed first because "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" was used. I was able to follow the steps on this page to temporarily stop the service and allow the file to be deleted:

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-disable-Windows-7-Media-Player-network-sharing-service-wmpnetwk/

    Then when I have opened WMP 12 database has been repopulated with my files... and all files remain when the 12 WPM has been closed and then reopened. I hope it's a permanent fix.

    Not sure if this will help your problem, Jeff, but I hope that.

  • Windows media player 12 does not reading music tags

    Windows media player 12 seems only to read some of my music labels.
    I use another program called media monkey to organize and play my music most of the time but the streaming and sharing features of WMP12 is great, the only problem is that more than half of my collection of mp3/wma in WMP with no artist/album/genre/etc
    If I right click on a track and "instead of opening the file" Explorer reads the tags of the tracks with no problem.

    In fact, I just checked and it's only the files MP3 which is can not read information from.

    Any ideas?

    I finally had the time to install the RC (build number is now 7229) and the problems disappeared. Just thought I would add this track to the top.
    WMP now works fine! Zoe
