I have a problem adding more than 50 folders to WMP. Each folder is either an audio book or a music album.
* Each audio book exists in its own folder on Drive D:. An audio book consists of several 'parts' and each part is an MP3 file about 75 minutes long. I have 11 audio books with a total of 91 parts.
* Each music album exists in its own folder on Drive D:. An album consists of up to about 25 songs in MP3 format. I have 39 music albums with a total of 830 songs.
There is a total of 50 folders (11 + 39) in my Music library. When I try to add another folder (music album or audio book) WMP acts like it added the folder but nothing shows up in the library. When I select Organize > Manage Libraries > Music the new folder does not show up in the folder list.
As a test, I removed 4 folders (music albums with 82 songs) from the library and then added 4 different folders (music albums with 40 songs) to bring the total folders back to 50. So far, so good.
When I tried to add folder 51 WMP wouldn't add it. Nothing happened, no errors. WMP acts like it has a 50 folder limit. I've cruised the 'net but I didn't find anything that seemed to address this problem.
I manually deleted WMP's database files. I reset WMP to its default settings. I uninstalled and reinstalled WMP. None of these solutions worked.
Does anybody have any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
RoseM
