Solve : Songs disappearing in XP's Media Player? |
|
Answer» Every once in a while a white letter "i" on a round blue symbol comes up beside a song's name and it won't play anymore. A message may come up saying the file can no longer be found. Just recently it happened to ten of my songs! Any ideas why?What happens if you use a different media player?The symbol mentioned TELLS me you may have listened to those songs at one point in time but not DLoaded them...therefore they aren't in the library...

Or wherever they were located has been changed. This can happen if they were on an external device of some sort when played and added to the library, then the next time the device was inserted, it was assigned a different drive letter. Or the device isn't present. Or the folder or file name was changed since it was added to the library. Basically, something has happened that said file(s) are no longer where the library EXPECTED them to be.None of these songs were on an external drive and they were all in the library for a length of time and had been played often. If they were not from an "authorized" site could there be some kind of time limit on them? Some are from Limewire, others from Youtube Music.From "Start-Search" TYPE in the name of a song that has "disappeared" and see what happens. If you find one you may find them all.truenorth Quote from: halda on April 29, 2012, 07:35:54 AM None of these songs were on an external drive and they were all in the library for a length of time and had been played often.

Check the location where you saved the files and see if they are STILL there. |
