Why do burnt tracks not show in Windows Media Player?

Just managed to get CD burn to work on Vista (see below)
But the list of tracks does not display if I play the burnt CD under Windoes media Player.
What is going on - I have enabled "write CD text"
For some reason iTunes is able to show artist/title for each track
Just to confirm: iTunes under Vista only works after I loaded updated GEAR software from http://disc-tools.com/download/sptdbeta

Hi,
If you're using Windows 7, it may be worth trying to reset Windows Media Player as follows.
Click the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open Programs and Features, Click 'Turn Windows features on or off', open up Media Features and untick Windows Media Player.  Click Yes then OK and then restart the notebook.
When Windows has restarted, click the Start Menu and select Control Panel.  Open Programs and Features, Click 'Turn Windows features on or off', open up Media Features and tick Windows Media Player.  Click Yes then OK and when WMP has finished installing, restart the notebook again. 
Launch WMP and go through the initial set-up, then check if the tracks now play Ok.
Regards,

  • E3000 Media Server not seen by Windows Media Player (v 12.0) on Win 7

    I've enabled the Media Server on my E3000 router.  My PS3 can see the server and play media from it by my PCs can't!
    I'm using Windows Media Player v 12.0 on Windows 7 and some older version on Windows XP and it's my understanding that the Media Server should appear under the "Other Libraries" section but it does not.
    Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug in the E3000 firmware (I have the latest as of this date) or is the Media Server simply not compatible with Windows Media Player?
    If it's an incompatibility issue, can someone please point me to a compatible media player for Windows 7?
    I did read a post about a firmware upgrade on the 4200 that broke the media player, but I don't know if such a problem exists for the E3000.
    Thank you,
    Martin.

    This is what you can try in getting the Computer to see the media server on the E3000:
    (Obviously make sure you have the media server enabled on the router and at least one folder shared....and make sure you have scanned the folder(s))
    1) Turn your computer on.
    2) Disconnect your external usb drive.
    3) Pull the power on the E3000.
    4) Connect the external usb drive.
    5) Plug the power back into the E3000.
    Then see if that works or not.
    If the issue still persist then here is the link which may help you: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01832417&tmp_track_link=ot_recdoc/c00859236/en_...

  • All songs not showing up in media player

    I loaded songs onto my 8gb microsd card. I can see that the songs are on the card (on the computer and in the phone) but all of them do not show up under media player. When I explore the memory card, I can play the songs that are not on the media player when I go through the folders so I know they are not DRM protected. How can I get the songs to show up in the media player?

    Hi,
    If you are able to see the songs on the media card and they play as well, I wouldn't
    think the method to move the media is the issue. The issue seems to be the
    indexing of the catalogue.
    On the Blackberry go to the main media home screen.
    Menu key, explore, media card. Find the music folder, menu key show hidden.
    Delete the BBthumbs.dat file. Do a battery pull and return to the media screen
    and let the phone fully re-index the files. See if you have all files listed.
    Thanks,

  • Video from Iphone will not open in windows media player

    I was able to import videos from my iphone 5c into windows vista, but the will not play in windows media player.
    How can I play the video?

    Rodney-- you're unclear what exactly you did. If you encoded a dvd, your computer's dvd player SHOULD play it. Unless your pc doesn't HAVE a dvd player.
    If you burned a data dvd of your fcp project, unless you have quicktime on your pc, you won't be able to play it.
    Investigate flip4mac, which allows you to export wmv files.

  • Why does my Encore DVD not play in Windows Media Player v.11

    My DVD's play properly in players and from various other DVD Software but not Windows Media Player v.11.  Most people I give my DVD's to view them on business computers, that only have WMP on them.  Is there a way to build an Encore DVD that will allow them to play in WMP?

    You can always build a Flash "DVD". Other than that you may be looking in the wrong place. Microsoft has neatly avoided any MPEG-2/DVD licensing and merely uses the respective libraries of otehr DVD software on your system, so when no such thing is installed, it never works.

  • EA4500 Windows 7 cannot index files so files not seen by Windows Media Player

    I have setup a disk on the USB port of the EA4500 and have 4 folders.  One being music.  I want to access this folder via my Wireless laptop with Windows Media Player but I only get a handful of the 3000+ songs on the disk.  A hard wired PC can access the files but not a wireless laptop.  I'm not sure where the issue is.  If I use the drive via //host/Music the Star ratings are not available but I get all music,  if I map a drive then I get star rating but only a handful of songs.  I have tried to change permission but I cannot change the file permissions on the Linksys.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You should be able to change the permissions in the router page. Are you using the Classic Firmware or the Linksys Smart Wifi? If you are using the Linksys Smart Wifi firmware, it is under USB Storage > Folder Access. If you are using the Classic Firmware, it is under Storage > Administration. The laptop should be able see all files just like the desktop.

  • ITunes+ Songs not playing in Windows Media Player 11

    So I got a new PC. On the previous PC i had been using windows Media player and playing songs purchased in iTunes+ in WMP.
    So I transferred all my songs to an external HD. Then on my new PC I pointed the folder in WMP to the external HD and it imported all my music, except for my iTunes+ songs.
    I have also purchased 2 new iTunes+ songs and they will not import into WMP or play in WMP.
    What do I need to do?

    Is it possible the problem is that on the previous pc I was running Windows 7 and on the new PC I'm running Vista Premium?

  • Apple iPod 7th Generation not seen in Windows Media Player

    Windows Media player does not recognise my ipod nano 7th generation.  Itunes and my windows 7 home premium does see my ipod.  Is there a new driver that I can download without going through a third party?  I want to use windows Media player.

    Windows Media Player does not work with iPods.

  • IPOD not recognized by Windows Media Player

    MY IPOD is no longer recognized by Window Media Player--neither version 10 or 11. It once was recognized then I added my digital camera to my compute and all the sudden it thinks my camera is my IPOD. I disabled the camera, now the computer just doesn't recognize that an IPOD is attached. My IPOD works fine with I TUNES. Please advise as to how I can fix this.

    You say computer doesn't recognize that iPod is attached then that iTunes works with iPod. ????
    If iTunes works with iPOd then computer is seeing that iPod is attached.
    As for Windows Media Player I didn't know iPOd ever worked with it.

  • H.264 not playing in Windows Media Player

    OK, so I've exported a 720p video to H.264 format. The resultant .mp4 plays just fine on my Mac where it was created, in both QuickTime and the VLC Player. It also plays on another person's Mac (I'm assuming QuickTime) just fine.
    But two people who have Windows machines cannot get the file to play in Windows Media Player. I don't think they've tried another player, but that's irrelevant because I need my output video to be able to play in WMP.
    Is H.264 a poor choice in this case? That's always been my go-to format. I thought .mp4 was a universally playable format.
    Thank you.

    It depends on which version of Windows Media Player they're using. If they're still on XP, it's very possible it won't work.  Anyone using Windows 7 or 8 should have no problem.  (And perhaps it does need to be said, but everyone should be using either 7 or 8 by now.)
    At least one of them was on Windows 7.
    Is there a better format I should be using for PP export other than H.264?

  • Why Does Adobe Reader download button  launch windows Media Player?

    I want to download an owners manual for my dishwasher. When I go to the mfg. site and locate the PDF file and click it to 'run' or 'save' (to desktop), Windows Media Player  launches. What's going on?? Please respond soon and thanks. Steve   Win 7, IE 10, Reader 11

    That sounds like your file association for .pdf files is hosed; you need to assign it to Adobe Reader instead of Media Player: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-default-programs#1TC=windows-7

  • Songs not showing up in Media Player

    I copied song files (mp3) from my computer to the BB Curve 8330 using the Roxio Media Manager.  The song files show up on the phone through the Media Manager, but when I launch the Media Player on the phone, several bands/albums do not show up in the list of available music.  Anyone know why this might be happening?  Thanks!

  • Sk-2061 Keyboard Multi-media keys not working on windows media player

    I have an HP ENVY Recline 27-k150xt TouchSmart All-in-One CTO Desktop PC that came with the SK-2061 keyboard. The problem is like i said in my subject. However, I have also tried restarting the HID services and setting them to automatic which I read helped with the volume keys...that did not fix my multimedia keys. 
    All that i can do with the MM keys is when I have the player active i can press the play/pause button and then the play/pause button on the player is selected but I still have to hit the space bar to "press" the button.
    I need to be able to pause and play the media player while in a document (i'm transcribing some audio files).
    Thanks!

    Ha! Nevermind I figured it out. For anyone else who is a dingbat just hit the function key and f7...man i feel dumb
