Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / May 2008WMP11 Not recognising MP3's
I've just rebuilt my desktop and prior to this had painstakingly ripped over 200 CD's to MP3 format. However, when I try to browse those files now (they are stored on an external HD) they are unreadable under DOS or by the library within WMP11. I can see the files within Windows Explorer and if I copy the files to My Documents\My Music they can be seen there. Anyone got any sugestions on why this happening or what I can do to get it working?? Thanks in advance!

I've already done that several times and WMP11 can see all my music videos and films I have stored on the external drive but not the music! :-( Anyone got any other thoughts?? it's rather dull playing on the XBox with out any music!!! > Click Tools>Options > Library Tab>Monitor Folders > Advanced Options>Add > Then select your External Drive Music Folder Could you define "rebuilt your desktop"? How exactly are you trying to "browse" them? The player's file:open dialog or ... ? Had these files been deleted from your library at some point?  SignatureSpeaking for myself only.

I ripped a CD yesterday and that actually showed in the library and within DOS, however the other files are still not showing within either the WMP library or DOS. All files are playable and are viewable from Windows Explorer, I'm at a complete loss as to why this could be happening!!

Sorry to bump this but has anyone got any ideas?? I really don't fancy having to rip all my CD's again!! Well after some playing with ownership and the like I have finally found out what the cause of the issue is. All the folders have been given a SYSTEM attribute, which means they cannot be seen. Once I changed the attribute to non system it all worked. Now I have to find a way of doign a mass convert on the files!!! > Sorry to bump this but has anyone got any ideas?? > > I really don't fancy having to rip all my CD's again!! >Well after some playing with ownership and the like I have finally >found out what the cause of the issue is.

You said the existing files were ripped to MP3 - what do you need to mass convert them to (and why ?) Cheers - Neil ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2008 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs I really need to think before I post!! By mass convert I was referring to changing the system attribute on the MP3's. Have changed them and all working like a dream, what I can't understand is how they were changed to system files in the 1st place! > Glad you got that fixed.
