Re: Album Art Corruption?

It's unlikely that rebuilding the library will fix this, as the album
art isn't saved in the library, but on disk.
Make sure Windows Explorer is set to show hidden files and folders, and
navigate to your music folder. In that folder, look for JPG files
containing the wrong piece of album art that is displayed by WMP.

WMP's media library probably got corrupted. To reset it, follow the
instructions for WMP 11 on Vista at

Re: How do i stop Media Player updating my library ?

What version of WMP and Windows?
If WMP is automatically adding the podcasts to the library, then this
means that the iTunes podcasts folder is in WMP's monitored folders
list, or is a subfolder of one of the folders in this list. Removing the
concerning folder from that list should stop the podcasts from being added.

Re: No Music in Library

Before trying to delete the library files, make sure WMP, Media Center,
and Internet Explorer are all closed. Also, go to Start - Run, type
"services.msc", press Enter, and stop the Window Media Player Network
Sharing Service.
If you still can't delete the files, boot XP into Safe Mode. Deleting
should definitely work there.

WMP's Folder view could be useful for this, just click the Folder item
in the library tree to browse files by folder. If you don't see such an
item, right-click Library (in the same tree) and tick Show More Views.

Open WMP12 full screen

2010-03-10T01:43:01Z

How can I get WMP12 to open in a full size window, although not maximized,
when opening video files. Now it will open in a little 4"X3" window.
Thanks!

Changeing columns in 'list pane' while playing songs.

When showing the 'list pane' during play, is it possible to change the order
of the columns? Or even delete some of the columns, like 'rating'?

Album Art Corruption?

2010-03-09T23:11:01Z

I'm running WMP 11 on Vista 64bit. Have recently ripped about 100 CDs and
just now have had a problem whereby many CDs in the library are displaying
the same (wrong) piece of album art. Only "different" thing I have done
recently is scan a few album covers (if I couldn't find them on internet).

Ok so the other day I restarted my computer. Once it loaded back up I went to

DawnTreader, you are not alone. Winamp can do this, via a hotkey enabled
by a plug in called Playlist File Remover, available here:

WMP11: Finding tracks that are not in my default location

2010-03-09T07:59:51Z

I have "Add media files to library when played" so I have a proportion
of my files outside my main media directory.
Is there an easy way to find these files? I can write an OLE program,
but I'm feeling lazy.
I've just bought a Logitech Squeezebox Duet, and its media server uses
a single root directory. It follows shortcuts though, so once I've
