I had the same problem with you.It is simple;you have stopped internet
permission to your media player.If you have a firewall application other than
windows's just give that program permission to access to the internet through
the firewall options or something similar.Also you may have blocked internet
access through the options of media player.Go to tools->options->privacy
tab->check the display media....and update music files....!That's all.Good
luck.
