[Resolved] Media Player help needed!!!

Ok, I'm now reaaaaaaaaally frustrated...I have a bunch of Napster files that are sitting in a nice little folder under " downloads..so far so good...I open up Media PLayer and have gone thru all the "search" topics to see how to move this folder into the Media Library so I can then make a new PLaylist..I cant for the life of me figure out how to do this!! Could someone please give me the "dummies" version!!!!!!! Thanks so much..you guys and gals out there are great!!l

 

alrighty then,,, you want the Windows Media player to locate & add to its playlist what you have in your mysic folders...correct?

on Media Player go to view/taskbar/media library...let it search your hard drive for media.

 

Hey Savvy, quick response but.........the files I want to add to the Media Library are just sitting in a folder completely unrealted to Media Player..in the Help section it says to go to File-Add to Library-Find File..click on it and it puts it into library..I can do that, find the file I want to add from folder originally called " downloads-Music" but then it doesnt do anything.
Is this clear??? Kinda hard to explain!!!

 

Hi Eddie, ok I'll try to answer your questions...I have WMP version 7.00.00.1440..I'm operating WindowsME..The files are MPEG Layer 3 Audio....( is that the extension?) Right now they are sitting in My Documents-Downloads-Music....according to WMP Help I have to get them into the Media Library before I can put them into a Playlist...this is what I cannot seem to figure out how to do.....I click on Media Library-File-Add to Library-Add File then I open on the above "music" file from downloads...it asks me for a file name?? So I make one up....maybe this is the problem??what does it want? Then I click on Open and it says "file not found"....whew..is this enough info to make a diagnosis??? I feel so stupid, this should be easy, right????? Thanks for your time

I understand what you mean.... you are saying that you in fact did what you was supposed to do but that the media player did not for some reason find them...
My question is... did the media player actually search for them?

 

Hi again Savvy, I really appreciate your patience!! They are MPEG's...is that the problem?

 

yea I saw that... I just edited that out... but did the mediaplayer actually scan/search your harddrive to find them?

mpeg is ok

 

I use Winamp player although I have Mplayer... I don't care for it much

 

When I open up the folder that I named "music" it asks for a file name above where it automatically has the box that says " types of files"..I dont know what I am supposed to put here

 

Hi Eddie, ok, so I managed to copy music from my downloads folder over into Windows Media...now I not only have all my music in there but also all my Windows sounds etc!!!! But just because it is sitting in media does not seem to put it into WMP Library...so I still have the same problem, see above< it wants a file name.......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..I'm getting really frustrated now!!!! You are all soooooo patient!!!!
