    To save my vinyl collection I have converted the albums to C D and then loaded them into and been picked up by W M P.


    However when I try to play the tracks of some Albums W M P refuses to play them whereas other albums play without problem.


    What can I do to correct this situation?

    :)

  2. Windows music media files.

    Hi,

    I appreciate if you could answer to a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

    • Are you trying to play the music's directly from the CD?
    • Are you using Windows Media Player to paly the music?
    • Did you try a different player?
    • Did you try copying the songs to a particular folder and checked if the issue persists?
    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to run Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter and check if that helps to resolve the issue.

    • Type troubleshooting in the search bar.
    • Select Troubleshooting.
    • Select View all on the top left corner.
    • Click Windows Media Player Settings.

    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.

  3. Convert Windows Media Play to Groove Music

    Can I export Windows Media Player play lists to Groove Music. I don't want to have to reconstruct these. I have had them for years but since Windows Media Player is not really happy with Windows 10 can I switch to Grove Music and just copy and paste
    the play lists?
