Double entries in Windows Media Player after installing Windows 7

I just installed windows 7 on my computer. In preparation I had moved all my music off to another drive. I installed windows 7, then office 2007 and then moved my music files into the appropriate folder and then deleted the backup. When I launched windows media player version 12.0.7600.16415 all my music is screwed up. Under Media Player 11 the files would group CD's with different musicians under Various Artists. This version does not allow that. I can figure that out. Here is the real kicker. Every cd I have placed on my computer now has double entries. First a M4a CD f

Installationsfehler WMP11 - C00D2AFB

Hi, Ich hatte WMP 11 auf meinem Notebook, einem IBM T43 installiert, welches unter XP Prof. SP 3 läuft. Plötzlich, ich meine nach einem MS-Update konnte ich keine Videos mehr abspielen. Ich habe erst an einen Codec Fehler gedacht und diverse Codecs deinstalliert und neu installiert. Als dies keinen Effekt brachte habe ich den WMP 11 deinstalliert, was mir im Wege des Rollback den WMP 10 wiederbrachte. Mittlerweile habe ich mehrfach versucht den WMP 11 neu zu installieren. Ohne Erfolg. Es ist praktisch eine Dauerschleife. Wenn ich von der Update Seite von MS den WMP 11 instal

Windows Media Player doesn't work

Ok so the other day I restarted my computer. Once it loaded back up I went to use windows media player and all my music had gone. My playlists had all disappeared and I was told there was no music in my library. I tried to add my music again but when I tried, it did nothing. So now I can only listen to a track on there but it doesn't get stored in the library and everything I once had in there is now gone. Has anyone encountered the same problem? I'm using Windows Vista Business and the version of windows media player that I have is 11.0.6000.6353 Any help would be great. T

WMP11: Finding tracks that are not in my default location

I have "Add media files to library when played" so I have a proportion of my files outside my main media directory. Is there an easy way to find these files? I can write an OLE program, but I'm feeling lazy. I've just bought a Logitech Squeezebox Duet, and its media server uses a single root directory. It follows shortcuts though, so once I've found the "outlying areas", I can point to them. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk

No Music in Library

After reading through several troubleshooting guides, it seems I have a broken Windows Media Player library. However, none of the methods work for me. I cannot do delete my files because it keeps saying it's in use by another program or person, even if I restart my computer. It says the title of the file cannot have a "\" symbol in it, so I can't rename it. There is no "Advanced" option under "Tools", so I can't repair it that way either. I have WMP version 11 and Window XP Service Pack 3. I want my music to show up in the library.

WMP media info update

Apparently WMP does not support or include CD-text which is needed for burning with and reading media information. Here is the odd thing. Itunes does. So I figure o.k. burn it with Itunes. But guess what. Same problem. Even with CD-text Itunes will only display media info created by the original Itunes program, and not on another PC Itunes or WMP. So what is the deal? Apparently PC players do not support CD-text. The CD files are my original works and are not registered online with Grace whatever it's called. So it would great if there was a way to have the media info displa

How can I organize multiple disc sets as one album?

I have been using iTunes for many years but I decided to give WMP a try since I am using Media Center and also want a lossless codec. I configured Media Player to automatically rip the CDs as I place them in the drive. The process automatically creates a directory for each CD, even when they are the same album. I really don't want to have multiple icons in my album list, so what can I do to simply the layout after the tracks are all ripped. I spent about 10 minutes renaming both icons with a common name and then renumbering the tracks. I have about 45 more double albums to ri

Can't Sync Playlists Using Windows Media Player

I have developed playlists using Windows Media Player. Some of the files in the playlist are duplicated.

I need playlists I developed to be synced with my device in their original form. Can anyone tell me why Windows Media Player keeps throwing out all the duplicate files?

red x by Media Guide

I am using Windows Media Player Version 11.0.6002.18111 on Windows Vista Home Premium, and a red X appears by the Media Guide button at the top of the window. It's like one of those images you get when a picture can't be displayed on a website, a red X on a white background. It is just to the left of the words "Media Guide" I don't know why it is there, because there is no image that should be loaded there. It hasn't always been there, it just appeared yesterday. I closed it, and restarted the computer, and it is still there. I opened the player on a different account, and it is

I have tried downloading 'codec's'; changing the settings to mp3, everything I can possibly think of.. Do I have a program glitch within WMP when it was factory installed?

WMV plays on WMP12 (Win7) but not WMP11 (WinXP)

Normally, I would just install VLC and be done with it, but since it is in a PPT presentation that this user must use in this office, I need to fin

Library won't load

Hi. I've had this issue for a while now and I don't know what's wrong. I try to load my music and it won't. I know how to and I know I'm doing it correctly. I've checked, and WMP is the default player for *every* type of file going. The only way I can get music to play is by going to the folder it's in and clicking on individual files. I can also add music to a playlist but I can't save the playlist.

Enabling DSP plugin in WMP12 fails to repeat playing a media file

I created a video dsp plugin by VS 2005 and MS SDK 6.1. It can be registered in WMP12 (windows 7) and working fine. However, when I click stop and click play to re-start playing a media file, WMP always returns with error "Can not process the request". If I set playback mode to "Repeat", WMP still fails to re-play the file. I doubted that there was some errors in my plugin codes but I created another video dsp plugin by the wizard and just built it without any modification, the result was the same. Please help me... thanks.

MOV files - use ffdshow audio in MP11

I have ffdshow installed on several computers successfully but I have a problem with one machine that refuses to use ffdshow audio codecs when it opens video-camera Quicktime MOV files. The result, of course, is a silent movie as MP11 can't figure out the audio track (which I believe is just PCM). For other ffdshow supported formats MP11 correctly activates video and audio codecs as necessary, but for the MOV format this particular machine activates only the ffdshow video and then briefly flashes the message "Acquiring Codec". The movie properties show only "-" for the audio forma
