  1. How do I stop Media Player from adding OneDrive Music to the library


    I am getting tired of removing the OneDrive Music folder from the Windows Media Player library. I don't need two copies of all my music displayed in the library when it updates media. I keep removing it from the library but Windows keeps putting it back.

    :)

  3. How do I restore my playlists in the Windows Media Player library

    • Click the Organize button, then Manage libraries.
    • On the drop-down menu, select the appropriate media (ex. Music).
    • Select the folder you want to add to your library.
    • Click Add, then OK.

    Let us know if you need further help.

    Can not add Music album from Music library of computer to Media Player files

    I have a few Albums stored in my Computers Music Library. I want to copy one particular album (the album has about 7 files - i.e. 7 music tracks) to
    Windows Media Player album Library. When I right click on the album in the Computer's music library, one of the options is to
    PLAY with windows media player - but another option is to
    ADD to Windows Media Player List
    ......but when I choose the later (ADD to list) all that happens is that the album starts to
    play - but does not get added to the Media Player album list. How do I overcome this problem. I am running Windows 7.
