    WMP Library and OneDive dilemma


    Hello all,

    For a while I've been trying to resolve this issue but I don't know how.

    I use WMP and I would like to put all of my music files on OneDrive and let WMP view the Music library from OneDrive.

    There is one problem with this though. When making my music files on OneDrive online only to save space, all of the tags (album, artist, genre, etc.) disappears and WMP would view these music files' tags as "Unknown" in the library (except for the song title) which makes the library not organized in albums, artists, genre, etc. This seems to be reproducible on other PC's.

    However, when adding these tags manually in the WMP library again for each music file, WMP would save these tags, even if the music files are online only on OneDrive.

    But suppose I'd like to clean install Windows. This would mean that I'd have to add all these tags manually each time after a format which would take hours each time seeing how large my library is.

    I tried backing up the WMP library files (CurrentDatabase_400.wmdb and wmpfolders.wmdb) but when putting these back in the original Appdata directory, WMP still doesn't show the tags of the online-only music files on OneDrive.

    Is there any effective way to back up the WMP library which I can put back after a clean install to show the music files organized with all their tags?

    :)

    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?
