Renaming MP3 Files
Does anyone know if it's possible for WMP11 to rename underlying MP3
filenames using info from WMP11's tags? For example, I want to use a track's
WMP11 artist name, album name, track number and track name tags to rename the
MP3 file underlying that same library track.
My issue is that although my library is pretty organized (20k+ tracks) using
the tags within WMP11 , the underlying MP3 filenames are unchanged from their
original filenames and do not always have complete or consistent information.
As well, if I ever exported these tracks to another computer, I want to
remove the risk that the tags won't be recognized, as has happened to me
before when transitioning from one program to another (e.g. from MMJB to WMP).
FWIW, MusicMatch JukeBox had a cool feature where you could "reverse tag"
your files wherein it references the tag information to derive a new name for
each track in the batch of tracks you have selected (even the whole library
if you wanted - it would just take a while). As a result, I was able to
rename all of my MP3 files into a consistent format.
Is this something I can do in WMP11? Tag: how do i reset the music library? Tag: 264141
wmp won't recognize sony mp3 player that included version 11 wmp
I have checked my usb ports and they are working. When I connect my mp3, the
window comes up and asks if I want to use wmp. I say yes. My mp3 came with
a CD with napster promotional, mp3 operating guide and wmp version 11. I
have all my music transferred, ( I was very happily using musicmatch
previously) and created a playlist that I have dragged to the sync box.
However, the start sync button and connect to device buttons are inactive.
When I click sync at the top, it only gives me 3 options: refresh devices
(which I have done and it says it's completed), more options which lists my
CD drive, display and speakers, and help with sync which has not been useful.
My mp3 player is a Sony NWZ S616F and has the wmp monogram that says 'plays
for sure'. PLEASE HELP ME! Tag: how do i reset the music library? Tag: 264138
Media player 11 on Vista
The media player has just completely stopped working for no apparent reason.

Seeing full song titles
My media player was just updated and now I can't see full song titles at a
glance--they've been cut off by stars for some kind of rating feature I don't
want and will never use. I don't want to have to hover the cursor over each
individual song title to see what's playing. Going full screen doesn't help.

WMP error after 6/25 updates.
Yesterday morning at around 8:30am, Windows Update informed of a usual round
of updates from Microsoft for my system. I let them automatically install as
normal. I am on Windows Vista, and keep my system and programs frequently
updated.
Shortly thereafter, when using Windows Media Player, I encountered the
following error popup whenever attempting to play a media file:
(The file's visual aspects will still play, but the audio will not, and
obviously the popup prevents using any commands.)
"Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you
might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy
settings might not be correct."
Clicking "Web Help" brings me to the following URL listing several
inapplicable situations (especially considering I have never ripped any files
from a CD):

I've been given the run-around by tech support just a moment ago, advising
me to basically beg here hoping to get lucky, or to pay them for phone

Editing the WMP Library
I've ripped several hundred vinyl LP's to WMP11. I've also had to "find album
info" on the web to add track titles, artist, composer and cover art. All of
my files are wav files. Now, I need to move my media files from my local
computer to a NAS. However, when I move the .wav files and have WMP rebulid
the library database, all of my vinyl LP tracks get thrown into one "Unknow"
album and I lose all of the cover art for all of my albums (including CD's
that I ripped using WMP 11. How do I move my media files w/o losing all of
the custom info that I had to load for my vinyl LP's? Why do I lose the
cover art and first track of all of my ripped CD's?
Thanks in advance. Tag: how do i reset the music library? Tag: 264114
Wrong CD Info
I bought a new CD today from Big W (Department store here in Australia) and

even show it Windows Media Players search list. I get the right singer, but
wrong album info.

Shuffle Options - Feedback to Microsoft
I was wondering where I go to give suggestions for Media Player? Would be
great if we had more options for shuffling rather than a single button which
shuffles through all songs. For example, if a user's library has a large
proportion of songs from a single artist, that artist will have a
disproportionately large play in any shuffle list, which a user may not want. Tag: how do i reset the music library? Tag: 264108

Cannot Play .ASX files in WMP11 after installing Nero Essentials 7
I am having truble playing audio/video streams from websites using WMP.
I have WMP11 and am using Windows XP Home. On oe th sites in question is:
http://play.rbn.com/play.asx?url=wcpe/wcpeint/wmdemand/preroll.asf&proto=mms?url=wcpe/wcpeint/wmlive/wcpewin.asf?mswmext=.asx
When I click on the link I get the message "Intenet Explorer cannot open teh
webpage"
Up to a few days ago, the links on the website(s) worked fine. I install a
new DVD burner drive and the accompanying software, NERO 7 Essentials. Now
site the use .asx files will not play.
I don't know it there is a connection between NERO and WMP
I have a a laptop without NERO on it and the links work flawlessly. So
thatis why I suspect NERO.

No audio or default sounds, error message
Hi all,
My computer is suffering from some horrible symptoms at the moment; it
cannot even cough a sound. The only sound it can make is the default ringing
when the computer starts.
The computer crashed while I tried to load a video file on a local news
channel (it's WMP plug-in). An error message/solution appeared in bubble at
the taskbar, clicked it, and a message glaring at me in blue said, "a program
that uses the waveOutWrite" function on a Windows Vista-based computer:
"MMSYSERR_NODRIVER".
There was a link, which I obviously followed. I followed the link for the
32-bit systems, opened it after installation, and nothing happened.
Searched on Microsoft for "936316" and updated my system with the Service
Package. Again, I got nothing.
Checked, and I have an audio driver installed--Realteck High Definition
Audio.
Now, can someone kindly help me to at least pinpoint this ghastly disease?
Is this a problem with the OS or the computer itself? Again, the only audio I
can hear is when the computer starts, with the default ding-ding-ding.
Thanks for any valuable information. Tag: how do i reset the music library? Tag: 264101

Breaks in shared music when programs open
When I try to use WMP 11 on XP to share mp3 files I get breaks in the
music whenever my computer opens a program. This does not appear to
be a problem with my network or playback device (d-link 320) or indeed
with resources on my computer.
I can have a dozen programs open and running, including memory and CPU
resource hogs like an anti-virus program doing a check, a backup
program running, huge files being copied over the network, and the
music sharing works just fine. But if one little new program opens,
it can be Notepad, or Calculator even, there is inevitable a break in
the music being shared.

WMP11 fails to open MP332
Hi all... Pleasant evening to you...
Recently, I purchased a new portable media device, and downloaded two
audiobooks. I was able to play them both in my ZEN as well as on my Base Con'
with WMP11... To recoupe some memory, I decided to burn them to CD, and
delete them from my hard drive. Then - upon researching to see if I had
indeed orchestrated a workable backup archive, I cannot get WMP11 to open the
files.
They do show up on the E: drive as being there, in MP332 format, but I can't
get them to open with WMP11 or Alsong.
If anyone has any ideas, in an EZ to follow format, please shoot me a line
and lend a hand.
It's not life threatening, or anything dire, as I still have them in my ZEN,
just curious as to what happened, and I don't want to make a disaster of a
mistake NEXT time!
Thanx in advance.
Pleasant night to you all,
gypsy

Yeh, I tried "select all"-> delete, took everything away allright. Then
told it to rescan - it found about 10% of my music ... Thanks Chair, I looked
