WMP 12 Library Bug SOLUTION
As far as I know lots of people have problems with missing media in WMP 12 library. I tried looking for resolution on the net, but found nothing. So I decided to do something myself and after 3 days of experiment I have a Working Solution to the missing media problem.
It looks like during the upgrade Vista -> 7 or XP -> 7 some folders containing media get corrupted. MOVE YOU MEDIA TO NEW FOLDERS! It will make WMP 12 recognize it correctly.
Example:
You have a folder called "Metallica", which contains a folder "St.Anger", which contains your media. WMP does not find these songs and does not add them to the library. Here's the resolution.
1. Restore WMP12 library. (Right click under the window title -> Tools -> Advanced -> Restore media lybrary) This will close WMP12. Keep it closed during the procedure.
2. Go to the location of your media (My Music, etc.)
3. Rename "Metallica" to "Metallica1"
4. Create New Folder called "Metallica" in the same location
5. Create a New Folder called "St.Anger" in the *NEW* "Metallica" folder
6. Cut-and-Paste you media from "Metallica1\St.Anger\" to "Metallica\St.Anger\"
7. Delete "Metallica1" (Your media should be already in the new folder, so you will not lose your files)
8. Log out, Log in (not sure if it is necessery, but don't take any chances)
9. Start WMP12 and enjoy your media appearing and remaining in the library
