Re: Media Center Won't Play Music - Everything listed as unknown



Hi Synn,

Please make certain to post this question to the Media Center
newsgroups located on this same server. The MVP's over
there most likely have seen this type of issue before. :-)

| Hi
|
| I recently bought a new PC (on 1/1/07) that came pre-installed with XP Media
| Center (SP2)
|
| I configured Media Center with music folders and everything was working
| fine. I've then installed WMP 11 and everything still seemed to be working,
| but when I went into Media Center today, all my albums are marked as Unknown
| Album and Unknown Artist and when I try and play one it says it cannot be
| found and make sure the path is correct. I cannot delete any of the albums
| from within Media Center.
|
| I then went into WMP11 and removed all the albums from in there and it
| removed them from Media Center as well, which was to be expected but when I
| try and re-add music into Media Center it does nothing. If I try and re-add
| it in WMP11 it adds in there fine but Media center still see's it as an
| Unknown Album and refuses to find it or play it.
|
| I've read some threads saying to remove from WMP11 and re-add and that
| solves their issue, but it hasn't done here. Can anyone help!!!
|
| It is only affecting Music
