    Windows Media Player 12 problems


    Hi!
    Wells i´ve had my computer for a while now - about 6 months. For until like a month ago my Media Player was working fine, then all the sudden it decided to not add the songs i played into the music list (im sorry if this seems confusing but i don´t have an english version). I´ve tried diffrent ways to make this work but can´t seem to get it working. What to do? D:

    I would suggest opening up WMP 12, going to Tools --> Advanced and then click on "Restore Media Library..." and then restart WMP to see if your music starts showing up.

    had this same problem last night (oddly enough). Whatcha do is:

    1) Open start, type in "services.msc" Hit enter. A window will pop up

    2) Look for a service called "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service"

    3) Double click on it, and hit the 'Stop' button.

    4)Open Explorer, and type "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player\" into the address bar. hit enter.

    5) there will be a few files in there. DONT DELETE. just in case. Move them somewhere else e/g: documents.

    6) reboot/logoff.

    7) Fire up WMP and everything should correct itself. It should add all your tracks. without dupes.

    Forgot where i found this tut. i just foot noted it, for future use. hope it helps

    There is no need for keeping those files, nor a logof/restart. Just make sure WMP is closed during this process.
    if you don't understand how to do this, check the tutorial in my sig.
