[Lanky0]

so basically under organize > manager libraries > music, i have selected my music folder as the location but when i add songs to the folder they dont auto matically appear on my library..

also when i try and drag the songs from the folder onto the library it wont let me as a little red circle no entry sign appears when i try it

You have to save your music files to the "My Music" folder, not the music library. Once there, they will sow up in your library.

but my music folder is on a different harddrive to my OS, i just tried what you said and that still doesnt work

 

[boohbah]

if you open the libraries folder ,then right click on music then select properties, you get the option to add a folder use this to browse to your music folder on other Hdd and bobs your uncle. then open wmp and watch it update.

I wrote the same tutorial here on SF, as far as I know, you shouldn't post links to other forums or something if we already have a solution here.

Woah, friend. Relax, as they were just trying to help out. I'm sure they searched the problem on an external site and came up with that link. Since your tutorial makes no mention of helping to fix an adding files problem, not everyone will see it in a search, nor will they necessarily connect the two.

I'm totally relaxed, lol
The tutorial I made fixes most problems in WMP12 regarding to media files, that's all

In fact, I have been experiencing the same problems, and using the tutorial in my sig fixes it... Not permanently, though, unless one's lucky xD

I just mentioned external links because I remember that Brink edited a couple of my posts in the past to replace the links with links to tutorials here on SF, that's all

 

[LiquidSnak]

I would add to your tutorial that it can be used to fix this particular problem, that would make it much easier to find on SF

Ok, I'm not aware of every tut that's posted on this forum, and I had a link from the site that I posted on this thread in my WMP related links, so... I can't search whole day long just to find your tut you know. And yes, when ever I know there is a related tut on the forum, of course I'll link to it. Iskuliraj

Why is the heated discussion. As long as we can help the OP, I would take a more relaxed attidude about parochial issues.
But back to the OPs issue. Have a look at the picture on how to restore the library.
