hi,

i recently had to take my PC into the shop to be looked at, and they did a rather naff back up....

ie they saved short-cuts to my documents etc....

HOWEVER the thing that is frustrating me the most is i have no idea how to get my music back in to media player....

any ideas welcome, as i would love to set up a play list or two while i clean....

cheers to all.

PS have a nice day.

    If it's Windows Media Player (WMP) 11 on XP then

    1) Open windows media player
    2) Click the little downward pointing triangle under Library
    3) Select add to library on the menu that pops down
    4 If your music files are in your folders (eg My Music) select the My personal folders radio button, otherwise select the other radio button
    5) Select the Add button
    6) Navigate to the folder containing your music files (Normally my music) and OK. WMP will search sub-folders without being asked.
    7) Repeat 5 and 6 if required (Normally not required)
    8) Check add files previously deleted from library
    9) Finally OK - this will take some time but can be run in the background
    10 Job done (I hope)

  • If its winamp you can start winamp. and put that window into the background, navigate to your music folder and simply drag it and drop into the library list in winamp.
