  1. windows media player problems.


    Hi.i,m trying to find solutions to 2) problems on WMP and contact us, led me to Community.

    As an oap i struggle to understand/learn all the new words for everything, it,s like a foreign language so i write old way and would appreciate any help/assistance with the following 2. things.

    1St I still buy cds to play,also use my laptop to rip and then sync to my phone,Note 8, when i rip the cd all the info is there in WMP plus cover art etc however when i sync to phone it puts it in"Unknown" for artist but sometimes ok for album, but without cover art. i can/do use an app to get some of the album art but this does not always work.

    2nd i,ve filled a 64 gb micro sd card and have bought a 200gb card to allow me to load lots more music plus some concert videos but can,t do so till i can find solutions to above, i have tried YTube plus wiki how, online generally but have,n,t found an answer. I,d like to load card in it,s caddy whilst in the USB 3 port to avoid swapping the sd card over several times but this doesn,t work either.

    In rip settings i,ve ticked all boxes for info so cannot understand why WMP syncing as Unknown,, also cannot understand why MS don,t have option in menu to simply allow to click for sync of all music plus cover art/ info to a sd card. frustrating.

    Apologies for long question but if anyone has the patience and time to assist i will most grateful. please accept my thanks in anticipation of your assistance. all the best. mel.

    :)

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    What is the exact error message you get when you to try play files on Windows Media Player?

    I suggest you to run both Windows Media Player Library and Settings troubleshooter and check.

    Step 1: If your computer is having problems playing video or audio files in Windows Media Player, try using the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter to fix the problem. The troubleshooter checks the configuration and network settings
    for Windows Media Player to make sure that you can play content you've downloaded and saved to your computer, or content streaming over a network or the Internet.

    Steps to run Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter are as follows:

    • Press Windows key + X and select Control Panel.
    • In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click
      Troubleshooting.
    • Click View all, and then click Windows Media Player Settings
      and follow the instructions.

    Step 2: If your computer is having problems accessing your collection of digital media files in the Windows Media Player Library, try using the Windows Media Player Library troubleshooter to fix the problem. The troubleshooter makes sure
    Windows Media Player is correctly installed on your computer, and checks to see whether your Player Library is corrupted.

    Steps to run Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter are as follows:

    • Press Windows key + X and select Control Panel.
    • In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click
      Troubleshooting.
    • Click View all, and then click Windows Media Player Library
      and follow the instructions.

    Please reply us on the status of the issue to assist you further.
