Hi Pat,

The error ‘Media library is corrupt’ occurs when the Windows Media Player library database has become corrupted.

  Press Windows key + R, click
  Run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click
  OK.
  
• 
  Select all the files in the folder, and then click
  Delete on the File menu.
  

Note: You do not have to delete the folders that are in this folder.

Restart Windows Media Player.

• 
  Press Windows key + R, click
  Run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click
  OK.
  
• 
  Select the Media Player folder, and then click
  Delete on the File menu.
