music files

I have a Windows 10 desktop computer and a Seagate 1 TB external hard drive, and I would like to know: What is the best and easiest way to update my music files onto the external hard drive? I often add new music files to my computer and sometimes delete music files that I don't really listen...

Hello, I am using Windows 11, and I have the old Windows Media Player legacy. I created a huge playlist of perhaps 1,000 songs. The playlist worked well. Days later, now the playlist never works, an error says it cannot find the original songs in the playlist. To view the code of the playlist...

Strange problem: I use micro SD cards to store music files I play through home audio systems. My PC has no SD card port so I use various USB adapters. These adapters - not the cards - are gradually stopping working in the PC although they all still work fine in the audio systems. I have one...

The quick access folder is a great idea ... to a point ... Just because I am working in or, on a folder doesn't mean I will need to open it again. I am moving music files around and will most likely delete said folder anyway. This isn't happening all the time but, if I have a folder open for...

Hello, In Windows 10 Home and Professional edition, with the new version 2004, I can not use the play-, record-, forward-, review- and pausebutton in Cool Edit Pro 2.0. Editing of musicfiles is no problem. See attachment. Who can help me? Thanks, Lammert

Hello, i recently noticed that my customise folder options are not working anymore and i have to manually change the columns of each folder instead of applying the settings to the folders i want via the customise tab. For example instead of size, date modified etc i want to make folders for...

Hello, I would like to load up USBs with songs and talks. Then I would like to copy protect them. The user should be able to see the list of songs or talks and can select the one they want to listen. But they should not be able to copy it onto their PC and then freely distribute it. I have...

I am trying to copy music files from my external hard drive to my music folder and I get a message about file names too long or invalid. I have tried to shorten the names by renaming them, but it won't allow me. I would rather not shorten the songs names anyway. How can I get around this?

Hello, Forum Mates. Since I updated my Windows 10 files the other day, a large amount of music files, which I knew were somehow displaced, but which didn't harm my home screen, started to populate what should be my home screen. I have tried to delete them, but the recycle basket disappeared...

I have 64 gig microsd card with 16 gb of songs on it. Is this going to take a longer time, than if they were on a hard drive?

Hi I'm still messing around with trying to get Cortana to play my music. I think it's like the map location thing, she doesn't get the info from Windows 10 about where the music is. So I started all over. I removed everything from my default music folder, except my iTunes folder. I created a...

I have tried unsuccessfully to use the Windows 7 Search (and advanced search) facility to list music files. What I want is to list MP3 and FLAC files with the same filename on the same search results. I can of course see each type with separate searches but not both together. Hope someone can...

Hi Anyone, After installing/uninstalling Win 10, with much help from Kemical, I finally got Win 7 reworking and un-corrupted (ish). So, I upgraded to Win 10 again and it's good! However, I can't seem to make File History work properly. When I go to 'More Options' in Settings, Backup, I ask it...

I have windows 10, and for some reason I can't play midis. Everytime I want to play a midi, it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program...

I have an external Hard Drive (WD My Book). I've been storing music on it and other data. Last week my computer which is running Windows 7 stopped recognizing it. I received a bunch of weird errors from asking if I wanted to format the drive to the drive just disconnecting from the computer...

Hi I am new to this forum but have encountered a very irritating problem. A couple of weeks ago my laptop crashed and upon looking at it the hard drive had gone. I have backed it up using backup and restore several times to my external drive and thought this would be ok when a new hard drive was...

Not all but like 50% of my Mp3 files can't be opened with WMP and I don't think it has anything to do with the music digital signature (pirated music) because even my itunes and the music I get from bandcamp.com can't be opened, so what's causing this?

Hi there folks and I just wanted to ask a question that has been pulling my hair out for the last months of Windows 8 being released. When Windows 8 was released I was eager to pay the £24.99 and buy it, so I did. Unfortunately though, there is one issue that is driving me crazy. This is slow...
