Media player can not access some of the mp3 files in download folder, it says you don't have permission to access this file, but Windows media player can

Yes other media players such as VLC or Quick time player can play any file that I choose in the download or music folders. If I open any file with Media Player, Media player can open the file and play the music too, it's just that when I send the music files to a playlist in the Media Player then try to play them from the Media Player, Media Player skips many files saying I don't have permission to access them while it plays other songs with no issue. All files are in mp3 format.

I copy and pasted all the files from download to another folder in Documents and then to Music folder. If I double click on any file, all players including the Media Player are able to open them and play them but when I send the files from Music folder to Media Player, Media Player keeps skipping many files saying I don't have permission to access them

 

music player

There is another way that works as well and you don't have to dig into the settings. It gives you control of which music player plays a given codec. Open your music folder On a individual music file right click it at the bottom on the dialog box that opens click properties, in the dialog box that opens look for the box that says Change click this box. It will bring up the choices you have for playing this file. click the player you wish to use for this music file, you want to use, click on the icon for Windows Media player and that makes every music file on your Laptop that uses this file codec WMP as it's default player. When your make your choice at the bottom of the :"change Box" click Apply, then OK, done. This is a handy way of doing this because as good as Window Media Player is is does not play all music such as MKV, OGG, APE files natively. I would suggest you load the music player Foobar2000 it will play all music files, it does not do videos. it is a free music player that does not take up much space on your system.
