MP3 players: Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player
by JSteinmetz - 5/9/04 4:50 PMI am trying to copy music to a cd using Windows Media Player (latest release on winxp Home). I have some links on there for music no longer on my computer. Is there a way to purge the music names from Media Player and have it search from scratch? Thank you

I don't know. But the WMP MINI FAQ has answered many questions about it.

As for purging names, merely select them in your media library, right click and select "delete from library."
To have the Media Player search for music from scratch go to TOOLS, OPTIONS, MEDIA LIBRARY, MONITOR FOLDERS, and select the ADD button and add the folder or if you wish the entire drive that you wish to be searched and monitored for media files.
Hope this works for you. Feel free to ask more questions and I'll do my best to help you.

I was confused how that could be since I had deleted them. I clicked on one of those links which I had deleted (checked Properties) and it actually had changed the link to where it is stored now, in the Norton Protected Recycle Bin!! I purged the Norton Protected files and now it is fine. Thanks for the help, I'm still wondering what Norton Protected files are supposed to be for though.
