Problème d'extraction de CD dans Windows Media Player 12 Solved

Question

Hello,  So I’m going to share my problem which is of a rarely seen ridiculousness for a Windows software...  My Windows media player played a nasty trick on me. I usually extract the CDs I buy into my library. But recently, this function has simply become impossible. When I click on "Extract CD", I get the following error message:  “Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you are trying to play, burn, or sync an item in your library, that item may point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.”  So I go to the options, the "Extract Music" tab, and there...  http://sd-1.archive-host.com/membres/images/184012419515097412/pb_wmp.png  The extraction path field is empty and I cannot change it, the button doesn’t work... Furthermore, if I try to modify any setting in this tab and click "Apply" or "OK", I get another error message:  “Error The music extraction settings could not be applied.”  In short, it’s a complete mess, my player is totally malfunctioning, and I don’t know what to do anymore. I’ve tried everything: disabling the player in Windows features and then re-enabling it, system restore, etc. I should clarify for those who don’t know, in Seven the player is integrated into the OS and we CANNOT uninstall it.  I would like to reset the default settings of the player, I think that way I could solve my problem.  Does anyone know how I can do this, or better yet, know a way to "repair" Windows Media Player?  Thank you in advance and sorry for the length of the post ;) !  Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 3.6.8

Indeed, you need to go through: Organize / Manage Libraries / Music  If the file path is not local to the PC and refers to an external HDD or a network machine: e.g. \server\etc. you should find a corresponding link with the label "recording location ..."  Simply delete this link and Media Player will automatically take the link: C:\User\YOUR_USER_NAME\Music  Thank you all for this good information.

Hello,  What is your antivirus?

Hi!  I'm using Kaspersky, the latest version.  Do you think it could be related to that? Yet, I've always had Kaspersky since I switched to Seven, and at first, I didn't have this problem.

I've found the glitch :D !  Actually, here's the thing, it's really silly: I store my music on an external hard drive. So I specified the path H:\ The problem is that when you plug in a hard drive, it’s a bit of a "random port", sometimes it shows up as F:\ sometimes H:\ sometimes I:\ in short, it's all over the place!  To solve my problem, I simply plugged in another hard drive that took the place of F:\, then my music hard drive which then took the correct port H:\... and my path was magically recreated!!  Anyway, this is a useless topic but I'm just glad that it’s working again.  And thanks anyway Jeannot for the quick response ;)  Bye bye!

Hello, I have the same problem and I wanted to know if you found a solution.

Hello, I have exactly the same problem and I also find it completely ridiculous, even if Windows is no longer afraid of being so.  They are great for designs and marketing, not for making their software work.

Well, here I am in the same mess as you? Has anyone found a solution?? A miracle??

kotkot · Answer

I find that you explained it poorly, because I had the same problem but the solution could have been explained more simply:  The error message says that a folder is not found, etc.  I indeed went to organize, manage library, and I saw that next to one of the proposed folders, it was marked "unable to save or not savable" I don't remember exactly.  I decided to delete that folder and there you go.

Thank you, it worked great with Windows Media Player 12  You need to go to Organize / Manage libraries / Music and specify a destination folder   Thank you

Hello, I have exactly the same problem as mentioned by "cyberketchup". I am unable to extract the music. The first solution, which is: "Organize/Manage Libraries / Music", did not work for me. Even the second solution, which is: "Start + computer, open drive C + users, you open your name, you will see music, click", doesn’t yield any results either. I just don’t understand anything anymore and I don’t know what to do. Please, do you have another solution? If you could give me more details regarding the two proposed solutions. Thank you.

Hello,  to solve this problem, you need to add in the menu organize>manage libraries>Music the location of the "my music" library for the user account you are working on and add the "my music" library that points to the guest user account.  C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\My music C:\Users\Public\My music  it will not work if you do not set both.

Hello,  For my part, my problem is that nothing happens when I go to: *Organize *Manage Libraries *Music => nothing, no window, absolutely nothing appears.  I tried for images, videos, there yes, indeed a window opens to choose the location. But NOT for music... :((  What should I do?  Thanks just in case.  Sylvie
