Library & external drive problems
Hi. Looked through support & tutorials & can't seem to find an answer. Hope you don't mind me asking here. In XP I could monitor my Windows Media Player music files/folders to my external storage drive.That's where it would look & update them from the locations I specified. In Windows 7 no matter what I've tried to do so far it also creates these files/folders in my music library folder. If I delete them from there it also deletes them from the external drive. We're talking about approximately 4,000 mp3 files. This causes unnecessary wasted space on my hard drive. Is this a library problem & is there a workaround for it? I can't monitor my file locations through options in Windows Media Player anymore. I have to do it through the library folder. Can the default library folder be deleted? I think that's where the problem is but I'm guessing at this point.
Windows Media center creates another problem in that it will let me specify what locations to monitor; music, photos, etc. but when Wmc & Wmp are both enabled in Windows features I get an error saying "an error has occurred.
Not all of the features were successfully changed." Anyway that's what I'm trying to resolve. Thanks for listening & I appreciate in advance any help or advice you might have.
