Thanks for the answer, but problem isnt fixed
System restore actually bring back factory settings on harddisk, but i dont
think its formating it.
Files are in AAC (.m4a) and i can play them when i double click. They just
wont be added to library. The problem is only the persistent absence of
<files-to-be-in-labrary> in my library.
Songs are well tagged in my ipod, and in my library when <actually playing>.
i made sure everything was checked (or unchecked), and even tried all
possibilities to make very very sure...
I went on ZACH's website. Nothing helped me. tried all that was explained
there.
Any suggestions?

How were the media files restored after you formatted your hard drive? Or.
did you do a system restore that didn't actually format the hard drive?
What is the format of your backed up files - WMA, MP3, AAC, etc? Can you
play the files by double-clicking?
There is a setting in WMP that says to add files previously deleted from
library. Did you make sure that was checked?
If you did, in fact, format the hard drive and your backup copies of your
media will not add, I would suspect corrupt ID3 tags or MP3 data next.
Generally, there are two things that will prevent files from being added:
Corrupt media files (either the ID3 tags, the MP3 data, or both) or corrupt
library database files (not your media files). You can find instructions on
Zach (the Microsoft employee who used to post in this newsgroup)'s website
at http://www.zachd.com/pss/pss.html for deleting and re-creating your
library database files. To eliminate the ID3 tags, find a tag editor that
will remove the tags completely and save the resultant file. If it now can
be added to WMP, you can manually recreate the tag data.
Let us know the answers to those questions and whether or not the other
steps help. Be sure to let us know, even if the steps above fix it so
others can benefit from your experience.

ok listen carefully. I read all threads about this in here, i read forums
here and there, there is literally no apparent way to add files to my
library.
I use winXP media center and windowsmediaplayer11
When i first added my 20 gb of music on windowsmediaplayer11, it also
added
all the crappy songs i have here and there, and istead of removing them
individually, i decided to delete all, then to add only "My music" file to
library, easiest and fastest way.
No way to get back files into my library, once deleted, they are deleted.
I tried to rollback, uninstall using the safe mode and all as specified in
a
thread here, didnt work
I tried to delete the wmbd files, even by searching thems, even by
deleting
complete file "media player", even by renaming .bak, didnt work.
I tried to FORMAT "Acer System Recovery", complete C: was erased, rollback
to the brandnew configuration, backed up all my important files on my 60gb
ipod (lol)
and it didnt work...............
Just reinstalled ONLY the necessary components ; Updates, Msn, Azureus,
iTunes, Microsoft Word...
Omg, How is it possible !!!!!
