All right, I know that I probably have something set wrong but in Media Player (Win 7) my library now only displays the last CD I ripped as well as the last few albums I played.
It is not displaying the 200+ other albums I have (which it used to show) in my music library.
any help is appreciated.
In WMP, try the following three commands
Organize - Manage Libraries - Music
Make sure your music folder is listed, change default save location if needed
(I suspect the 200 albums may be in a location not listed)
Organize - Options - "Rip Music" Tab - "Rip Music to this Location"
change default save location
Tools [Alt-t]- Advanced - Restore Media Library
If the folders above are correct and the information is incomplete, or if you move files (albums) into the folders using Windows Explorer ("Restore Deleted Items" may work also)
--I have 2300 albums and it takes a while!
The following three steps should get you rolling:
1. Confirm the folder with your albums in the library locations, also default save location
Organize - Manage Libraries - Music
2. Check Rip Music Location
Organize - Options - "Rip Music" tab
3. Rebuild Library database, if not done when completing above (If you copied any files or folders to the folder using any means other than WMP)
Tools {Alt t} - Advanced - Restore Media Library
