Windows Media Player Question

[ninjamonkey]

i accidently moved my music folder fromt he location that WMP was monitoring it. and i added some songs so now i have a few sogns that arent in my library. im not sure what tyhese songs are so i cant manually add them. is there a clean up library feature in WMP so that i can just put in all my current songs again?

Tools> Options> Media Library> Monitor Folders...

yeah. but it doesn't add the files i added after i moved the folder. does it have a "clean library" funtion? to get rid of double entries?

Back up, then delete this file and then go to tools/search for media files and reimport the data.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Index\wmplibrary_v_0_12.db

[ninjamonkey]

will that delete all of my tags that wmp has made?

[DL.]

I'm not sure. Aren't those inserted into the songs file header? With the database backed up, just paste it back in if there's a problem.

[ninjamonkey]

alright il try it.

[ninjamonkey]

um, i copied the file to my desktop. and deleted the one in the folder
but my library is still there.

Did you do that with the media player closed first? I have wmp9 and it works for me. The other way is to use Spybot search and destroy with advanced settings enabled to clear the wmp DB.

[ninjamonkey]

no, wmp was open when i did it. but i just tried it again with wmp closed but still didnt work. were talkgin abotu wmp9 right?
