I'm using the WMP11, untill recently everything was great, but I switched
off my computer to move it, and now i cannot add files to my library.
It says: There are no items in the library yet - the player is searching for
digital media file in the background. Click here to add files to the library
now.
Ok, I've tried adding my musicfolders to the monitor folders section, but
when I click OK, they disappear again. And the player is not adding files
automatically.
I've tried reinstakling the player. Any suggestions?
Thank you
Sincerely
Anette
The best process for a reinstall would be:
1. In Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then
click Remove a program.
2. At the top of the list, select the Show updates check box.
3. In the Windows XP - Software Updates section, click Windows Media Player
11, and then click Change/Remove.
4. In each of the two confirmation dialog boxes that appear, click OK.
5. When the rollback process is complete (it might take several minutes to
complete), click Restart.
6. In Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then
click Remove a program.
7. At the top of the list, select the Show updates check box.
8. In the Windows XP - Software Updates section, click Windows Media Format
11 Runtime, and then click Change/Remove.
If you installed a non-US English version of Windows Media Player 11, the
instructions in the dialog boxes that are mentioned in steps 9, 10, and 11
might appear in English.
9. In the first confirmation dialog box that appears, click OK.
10. In the second confirmation dialog box that appears, select the Do you
want to continue with the rollback? check box, and then click OK.
11. When the rollback process is complete (it might take several minutes to
complete), click Restart.
12. In Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and
then click Remove a program.
13. Click Microsoft User-Mode Driver Frameworks Feature Pack 1.0, and then
click Remove.
14. Follow the instructions that appear in the Software Update Removal Wizard.
15. Reboot, hit F8 to get the Advanced Windows Startup Options menu and
select Safemode with Networking
16. Login as Administrator, download a fresh copy of the installer and
install it (be sure to deny the Urge installation initially, it's best to
install it later by clicking on the Urge button inside wmp11)
17. Restart into Normal mode.
Feel free to give us a call and we'll be happy to troubleshoot with you.

I located the file mentioned in this post but I can't rename it. Even with

I have my MP3's on a network share, when I do a 'Add to Library' it
shows lots of files found, but files added 0. In options I have the
'add removable storage and network files' checked.
I renamed the CurrentDatabase_346.wmdb (size > 7Mb) , it creates a new
one, but the problem remains....

I have 4 HD's - all my music is located on Drive F: / my orignal OS on Drive
C: hold all the metadata - I installed Vista on drive I: and told WMP to add
all files on Drive F: ----- but the metadata doesnt come with it..... I have
over 150 live concerts that I manually added data and it shows when I boot
the old OS.....
Q: Can I transfer all the metadata to the Vista WMP 11? All the files are
still in the same exact place - thanks!!!

No, they do not. Also, other profiles on my desktop are working fine. I
also copied the DB from anothe profile. That worked fine until I tried
adding to it. Adding also failed. If I removed entries from that copied
DB, they cannot be added again either. Also, I tried to add a new
playlist through right clicking the 'add to' then 'additional playlist'
I get the famous Error ID = 0xC00D11CD. It's almost as if I can delete
from the DB but not add anything.

After long consideration, I painfully recreated my profile with the use
of the USMT tool and much registry editing. All is well in Windows
Media land.

Anyway, do I need to rename one of the existing files to
CurrentDatabase_346, or create something?

iTunes files can be locked for usage within that ecosystem - protected AAC
files, for example, won't really work outside of that.

Same problem and if anyone can help I would be grateful
I have re-installed as initially proposed. I have also deleted the file
CurrentDatabase_346.wmdb (managed to get round the 'in-use' issue by
terminating "wmpnetwk.exe" first)
Still didn't work- Ended up deleting all the files in the folder
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\MediaPlayer
-Still doesn't work and on restarting WMP it does NOT create a new
CurrentDatabase!
Something else which I noted related to the "wmpnetwk.exe" that it keeps
popping up and asking me to share my media. I remember accepting this way
back just before the problem started- I though someone was sharing with me
and had deleted all my files!
Many anticipated thanks

Cleaned out all the Media player folders in
\users\%username%\Appdata\local folder. Opened up media player and
changed my rip folder to point to my network drive. This worked for me.
If your still having problems, I would uninstall it from Add/Remove.
Then delete all Media player folders, as well as registry entries. (Only
touch the Registry if you know which ones to delete)
