WMP - library is partially damaged?

I noticed in my library displayed in WMP 12, for a good part of my music, that it is listed under "Unknown".

I still use iTunes to import my music in my music folder, and give them the same ID3 tags, and each file MP3 itself is in perfect condition in my library folder.

But inside WMP, it sporadically tells me that different albums lack information and groups of hundreds of songs within an album group 'unknown '. I tried to repair the library several times, and it will always end up with a few albums missing illustrations, or group the different albums in the catigory 'unknown '.

I find this curious because the files themselves are there in the computer and files, but WMP does not seem to be able to catigorize all. I ran the resolution of problems, which tells me that my library is corrupt. I delete the WMP library and then restore, only so he can still tell me that a lot of albums lack information.

Is it a case where the application data must be deleted? Or should I try and unload/reload completely WMP?

Thank you.

I believe that I have resolved, at least for my particular issue.

For all the music in the "Unknown" category, I went back to iTunes, changed their 2.2 to 2.3 ID3 tags, and then they immediately appear, correctly, in WMP.

Honestly, I don't know a thing about ID3 tags, so I always kept at 2.2 because it is the default value. Doing a quick search on Google, it seems that 2.3 is now the standard for music, while responses it seems.

  • WMP library does not track length or bit rate for some files

    I use WMP11 on XP Pro.  I started to copy old vinyl to your computer using Sound Forge Audio Studio 9 and save the .wav files.  The problem is that SOME of the recorded files appear in the WMP library with a length of vacuum and "0 Kbps" as the bitrate (but they are still very well).  There seems to be no rhyme or reason for it - today, I copied an album with 10 titles and 7 & 8 track numbers show, but the other tracks do not show a length.  In addition to the missing length and bitrate 0, each of these files also seems to be displayed with an incorrect size in the library.

    When I view the file properties in Windows, they all look identical with a bit of RRSP 1411 Kbps (everything else is the same too).

    Wait - it gets even more strange!  I just sent this folder on the network to another computer as XP with WMP11.  The WMP library on this computer now displays the titles 1, 2 & 5 correctly, but all others are wrong (including two tracks that showed on the first computer.  Note that these files have not changed anyway I just make a copy to the network location.

    Anyone know what is happening and how to fix it?  Thanx

    In general when I saw mistakes like that it is because the information in the file was written to the header file in a non-standard way. I would try using freeware application Saver WAV, which is generally used to retrieve audio from damaged disks, but also works well to correct errors in files audio .wav.

  • WMP library has duplicate entries

    When I view the contents of my WMP11 library most of the entries on each album are in duplicate.  Can someone tell me please how to fix this single entry for each record.  Thank you.

    This is may be caused by a corrupted media library. To reset the library, follow the instructions for WMP 11 on XP at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary . Note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too. Tim Baets

  • Windows Media Player-how delete the audio files in the WMP library and add album art

    How can I get rid of dublicate on WMP songs? How can I get all the cover art?

    To make WMP automatically look for the cover, make sure retrieve additional information from the Internet are checked in Tools - Options - Library (press Ctrl + M, if you don't see the Tools menu). The only add missing information option is recommended.

    Regarding duplicates, I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If its status is started, double-click on the service and click on stop.
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this file, rename the old Media Player like Media Player folder. If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

  • WMP library organizes with WAVs

    I have a bunch of extracted WAV files to a CD later.  (Another computer etc..)  I see them in WMP 11, but they are all in an album called 'Unknown' there are a thousand or more songs in this album.  I could not find a way to enter the artist or album information so I can find what I'm looking for.  Is it possible to do this?

    Hello
     
    You might have items in your library in Windows Media Player that are missing or incorrect media information, such as songs that have missing or incorrect titles songs, track numbers, names of artist, album titles, genres and so on. Because the player relies on media information to organize the items in your library, it is important that all items in your library have accurate and complete media information.
     
    This article explains how you can use the player to add or change information about the media for the items in your library:
     
    I hope this helps.

  • WMP library is corrupted

    In WMP, the songs on the album are incorrectly shown be distributed between the two artists.
    The correct artist has 1.7 securities but some other artists has the rest of the beaches 8.11.

    I tried the WMP convenience store who reported "library is corrupted.
    I leave the store rebuild and restart, with no improvement.

  • Bookmark backup partially damaged. How to restore?

    I just needed to restore my bookmarks, and unfortunately, several files are now empty.
    I did not hesitate and save current bookmarks (places.sqlite).

    I found that on 9 and 10 may, the bookmark backup has failed. He returned to work a day later with a 1.7 MB file that contains the files, I'm looking for. Since May 12, my bookmarks file shrunk to 1.3 MB, but claims a greater number of bookmark entries. From this date, bookmarks, I am looking have disappeared.

    So, I would like to know if there is

    (1) a way to combine the .json files two to one. The combination of the backup of today and 11 would be perfect. But how?

    or

    (2) a way to repair the obviously corrupt current backup missing bookmarks in entire folders?

    I thank very you much in advance!

    I have a thought. I don't know if it will work. With a new profile, to avoid
    problems with your normal profile, load one of the bad files. Then
    < Shift > < control > B to open the main window of bookmarks. At the top of the
    page, select import and backup. Then press
    Export bookmarks as HTML.
    Then, clear the system and do the same thing with the other bad files. The

  • WMP 11 library size limitations

    Is it possible to increase the size limit of file of 1 GB for the database of WMP 11 "CurrentDatabase_360"? wmp file

    After a bit of research online, it seems that this limitation is the reason that prevents the addition of music files over to my WMP WMP library.

    If there is no way to increase this limit, do anyone know if WMP 12 will have the same restriction?

    Thank you

    Hello

    ·         What operating system do you use?

    ·         Do you have an error message when you try to add the music to the Windows Media Player library?

    There is no limitation for adding music to the library in Windows Media Player 11 or 12. This problem can occur because the Windows Media Player library database is corrupted.

    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.
