WMP - Can't Manage Libraries or Create Playlists

Installed a new hard drive and moved my media files to it. Now Windows Media Player won't let me organize libraries or create new playlists.

I reconfigured my libraries in explorer (removed old locations and add new ones). My media and existing playlists show up in WMP just fine. However, if I click organize->manage libraries and select anything but recorded tv (which does not appear in my explorer libraries), nothing happens. And if I attempt to create a new playlist, I receive an error.

Figuring the WMP database was corrupted, I went through the standard drill:

* Stop WMPNetworkSvc service
* Delete all files in %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player
* Start WMPNetworkSvc service

When I start WMP again, it happily reads all my libraries and rebuilds its database. However, I still can't organize libraries or create new playlists.

I'm out of guesses. Any ideas?

Still no clue what was wrong, but I found a fix. Performed a system restore to a point prior to hard disk install and started the process over again. Now WMP appears to be functioning normally. Very strange!

I have the exact same problem. WMP used to work just fine and now I cannot create play lists. I don't know when it happened as I don't use WMP that much.

I too have tried all the recommended fixes to clear appdata
Any IDeas?

I already have my music playlist included in library. That is not it.

I realized I needed to include my entire music folder in library instead of just the playlist. That worked. Thanks
Funny thing about the tutorial you sent me - I have no toolbar button for include in Library.
