| | Where's my music? One day, suddenly, my Windows Media Player told me that i had not added any tracks to my library. This caused me to almost die, since i had many tracks and was afraid that perhaps all of my music files had disappeared from my computer. But i looked in "My Music" folder and they were still there. I went to the add music option in the media player and it still would not add my tracks to the library. I can't figure out why it is doing this, but it is very irritating. I downloaded Itunes and i don't like it nearly as much as media player, so i would like to be able to use media player again. I am also a college student using ruckus and itunes doesn't pick up ruckus files like media player does. Do i have to uninstall media player and install it again? Please help me. Thanks. |

| | Re: Where's my music? Media player was already set for default player, but i tried setting it again making sure it was all defaults, and it still has the same problem. I have vista and the most current version of media player.

| | Re: Where's my music? I'm not sure about this but I think it has something to do with the fact that the folders starting with "My" are not real folders. They are "junction points" that point to the corresponding folder without 'My". If you go to the Music folder instead of the My Music folder you might be able to select the songs from there and add them to WMP. Please post back with your results. Good luck!

| | Re: Where's my music? Hi, beegeemoo. Bob's on the right track, I think. Instead of looking in "My Music", point WMP to C:\Users\beegeemoo\Music. (Substitute your own Username for "beegeemoo" if that's not what you use.) Vista's file management structure is not the same as in WinXP. RC -- R. C.
