Michael,

I originally ripped my cd collection as .wav files (reason being is that there is a distinguishable sonic difference on using high-end audiophile equipment when playing back WAV files vs the lossless formats — many will deny this but it’s true). In doing so, I individually tagged each one of my ripped CDs using WMP’s manual tagging system. This was a very labor intensive and time consuming process. Unfortunately, I have found that transfering my manually tagged ripped cd collection from VISTA to Win7, will require that I repeat this labor intensive process (vs. if the files had been saved into a more taggable format such as wma lossless, flac, etc.). Since my rips are saved on a server and not being physically moved to a new computer, all I really need to do is find some way to transfer the wmp 11 data base file from the vista client computer to the Win7 client computer. Do you happen to know how this might be accomplished and based on hands on experience if it will work?

Thanks,

Battles

I’ve tried this along one with other things found on on different websites with no positive results. Any other suggestions? It’s hard to get by out here without my music.

After performing the last step, when the windows media player is restarted, please wait for a while till the songs get re populate. You might also see an error message that this program is not responding as the status. But eventually the files will be added back in the library. This worked for me!!! THNKS!!!

Help. I followed your directions and everything seemed to work fine except the library name appeared to be a file currentdatabase-372. The library repopulated but it didn’t appear to delete the old content. Now I have two copies of most everything. What’s the problem? Help!

p.s. I found another post on another website. It said to delete all of the files, but not the folders within the Media Player folder. I did this and the old library with all of the dups was deleted and a new one was rebuilt.

I tried this as described above, but it didn’t work at first. Finally, I deleted everything in the \Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player folder, and that finally did the trick. Got rid of “ghost” tracks, stuck playlists, and everything. It found all my proper media and playlists right away. Thanks!

This fix did not work for me… but helped to fix my problem. I had deleted some albums and they were still in the library as “ghosts” (only way I can describe it). I could do nothing with them but as I followed the instructions for this fix I found that they were stored in the same location that this fix takes you to. I viewed them as icons and they came up as music so I deleted them and my not so friendly ghosts disappeared! Thank you very much.

Well, the database is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is only one problem left it will still not let me sync to my windows phone or to my mp3 player, is there a fix for that? You click on the “sync” tab, plug in the mp3 and wmp says “connect a device” and that is all it ever says.
