  1. Combining music in WMP


    I am trying to combine items of music into individual albums. As an example I may have two identical albums (say two Arthur Lyman albums) pictured with different selections from the same album. One has tracks 1,3 and 5 and 7.The other 2,4,8, etc. Is there a way to combine the different tracks into one or the other and eliminate the , now empty one?

    :)

    WMP Problem


    It should be there. Let's try again, step by step.

    First, find out what version of Windows you have. Use the Winkey + R to bring up the 'Run' box, type Winver then click OK. You should see a version number, 1511, 1607 or 1703.

    If you have 1703, open Settings > Apps. For any other version open Settings > System.

    Click on Default in the list to the left (in 1703 it's called Default apps).

    Scroll down the list to find 'Video player'. This will probably say the default is 'Films & TV'. Whatever it says, click on it to bring up a list of possible apps to set as the default. You should see something like this with Windows Media Player in the 'Choose an application' list. Click on Windows Media Player and it will become the default for all types of video.

  3. WMP 12 in Windows 10

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 10, but my music library is empty in WMP 12. I have deleted the library database, changed music locations and added into "organize" and still no listing in the library. Can anyone suggest how I can get my library back
    and hence play music in WMP 12?

    Combining mp3's

    Please can I ask for clarification?

    Your files are not "in" iTunes, groove or windows media player. They are in your filing system and are merely listed by those applications because of settings you or Windows have applied to them.

    What are you actually trying to achieve?
    - Are you just trying to get one of these applications to list all your music files?
    - Or do you really have some need to have everything in one folder?

    Just by way of example, WMP monitors the folder [and any subfolders] that you have set as your User's Music folder. All the audio files in that/those folders will be listed in WMP's Music library. You can also tell WMP to list the audio files in other folders by adding them as 'Monitored folders'
    - WMP, Organise, Manage libraries, Music. Click on Add ... then select the folder you want for it & its subfolders to be included in WMP's Music library.

    So there is no need to put everything in one folder to see it all listed as one music library in WMP. I imagine those other applciations might have similar facilities but I am not familair with them.
