Hi,

  I'm having issues with Windows Media Player and the library database.  I'm posting here because the more I read the more I find the WMP is tightly tied to the OS ( Vista in my case ). 

 

I get a message that my WMP library database is corrupt and WMP will "search for music in the background".  Well it never finds anything, because I don't think it tries, the drive light doesn't flicker, and leaving it open over night finds no music.  I've open/closed/opened WMP, rebooted, and searched for similar issues. 

  I found a way to "fix" the database here

I found a blog by a WMP programer here ( a WMP programerr ).  So I clear the database and I'm able to see my music again... for about a day.  Then the "library corruption" happens again.

 

The lastest WMP at microsoft's offical site says it's older than the installed version.  So that doesn't help...

 

Does anybody else have a similar issue?  Any idea's?

 

Thanks,

 

Tom de
